[O06-P09] Getting over Geo Park Areas
A Geo Tour Tracing“Asaka Flume”from its Source, Bandaisan Geo Park

*Hiroshi Sato1 (1.Mt.Bandai Museum)

Keywords:Getting over Geo Park Areas, regional collaboration

One of geographical features of Bandaisan Geo Park is lakes and marshes which were formed by land abalanche of Mt. Bandai eruption. And we have often held geo tours taking advantage of these water resources.
Meanwhile, the water flowing from the lakes and marshes runs through other communities like Koriyama city into the sea as rivers. One of the rivers was kept up as “”Asaka Flume” which was identified as a Japanese Heritage Site last year. Koriyama city aims to make use of it as tourist resouces.
So, Bandaisan Geo Park is planning diversified geo tours over a wide area in collaboration with Koriyama city.
