The Tateyama Kurobe Geopark consists of 9 municipalities of the eastern part of Toyama and part of Toyama Bay. Toyama city in the municipalities promotes the town which we want to walk. In addition, the Tateyama Kurobe Geopark Society has problem about the signature and spread of the Geopark in the town area. The society considers in the material of the Geotourism with University of Toyama. A member concerned with these shared information and problems, and planned the geotourism in the town area.
In 2019, participants walked the town area while learning the topography and so on. The participant shared information and the knowledge across the generations. This tour was held once a month from July to November.
One of the points of this town walk is finding of the questions by the participants. Furthermore, we expect the increase of the opportunity to walk in a town because a participant solves a question.
It is support of the inquisition, a viewpoint to notice strangely, a memory and an episode of each person, independent talks, story that we kept in mind in the case of a guide. In particular, the making of story is important so that a connection is felt.
In 2020, we will carry out two tours to feel nature and to hear memory in the same area. In addition, we will consider the mechanism which can participate positively to make an action sustainable.
