The Oga Peninsula-Ogata Geopark is a suitable place for geological learning and research. We could examine the strata for 70 million year-long doramatic history. Every year, many students and researchers in the field of geology come to visit. At the beginning of Geopark's authorization period, due to desired efforts in education and research, this area was considered to be particularly "difficult" Geopark compared to other locations. However, more recently due to the interaction and exchange of ideas from various geological conventions and from within the community of Geopark inspectors, we are happy to announce this area is now more "fun" Geopark.With this announcement, we would like to introduce our progress and the results, the bright future prospects.
