Keywords:Geopark, Earth, Disaster prevention, Science, Volcano, Learning
Izu Oshima is a volcano island, which stands in the Pacific Ocean 120km away from Tokyo. Because of the risk of ship cancel by high waves, there are not many schools, which visit us as a school excursion trip. But Izu Oshima Geopark has the various elementas such as volcano, forests, sea, unique industries and lifestyles and the disaster prevention. We are sure that we are able to provide the attractive experiences according to the purpose of the visitors.
Izu Oshima Geopark can provide these following experiences
1 It is possible to feel the active volcano and the earth.
2 It is possible to consider about the relationship of volcano and waves, wind, rain through the previous points of views.
3 It is possible to feel the strength of plants which turn over new leaves every after the eruption.
4 It is possible to see the process from a seed to a forest only 30 minutes walk along single path in the mountain.
5 It is possible to confirm that all our lives are involved with the earth.
6 It is possible to consider the importance to live on the earth from the people on the island who try to learn the disaster prevention and to try to live with the volcano.
After the landslide disaster in 2013 we have storyteller guides about the disaster. We are sure that we can provide some kinds of sightseeing by which visitors can learn about the disaster prevention.
I will introduce some geo-resources of Izu Oshima Geopark based on some examples such as the field trips of SSH, super science high school, and some training camps of the biological club of high school.
