Camera trappng is applied effectively for estimation of number of visitors in a geopark. We set the cameras from 11 June to 21 October 2022, to take photographs or movies at three geosite in the Naeba-Sanroku Geopark, central Japan. Twenty persons interested in geology were detected in photographs at the most minor geosite. We will estimate number of visitors at other famous geosites from the movies.
