This adorable Japanese Tree Frog plushie is a wonderful addition to reptile and amphibian attractions, nature stores, museum and botanical garden gift shops, and more! The Japanese Tree Frog (Dryophytes japonicus) is a small, bright green amphibian native to Japan and parts of Korea. Known for its sticky toe pads that allow it to climb trees and vegetation with ease, it thrives in rice paddies, wetlands, and forested areas. Its distinctive high-pitched “kero-kero” call is a familiar sound during Japan’s rainy season, often symbolizing the arrival of summer. Adaptable and resilient, this frog plays an important ecological role by controlling insect populations while also serving as a cultural icon in Japanese poetry and folklore.
