In recently many natural disasters happened for examples earthquake, typhoon, local heavy rain, volcanic eruption and so on. We asked to university students what do you think about the most worried disaster. As a result, the volcanic disaster was the most worried less than earthquake disaster and meteorological disaster. So we tried them to be anxious about the volcanic disaster in no active volcanic area such as Kobe and Osaka. We gave a lesson for volcanic disaster prevention observing the volcanic ash as a teaching material. This volcanic ash that is abundant in fresh volcanic glasses was collected at Kobe Tarumi-Hyuga site in 1997. The volcanic ash was identified as the widespread tephra named Kikai-Akahoya volcanic ash composed of bubble type glasses less than 1mm length. Consequently, most of university students changed their image of volcano and grew up their intension for the volcanic disaster by the lesson. The volcanic ash sample is quite able to be an effective teaching material as an education for volcanic disaster prevention in no active volcanic area
