Towada-Hachimantai National Park Guide Book
Towada-Hachimantai National Park Guide Book 十和田八幡平国立公園 Feel the landscapes of Northern Tohoku that change from season to season in the vast nature 四季それぞれに美しい北東北を自然の中で体感 In Japan, each of the four seasons has its own colour that allows visitors to truly feel its atmosphere. Especially in Tohoku, where winter is crucially rigorous, people wait for the arrival of spring, sing the joys of summer, and appreciate the rich harvests of autumn. There are many things in Tohoku that bring joy to people throughout the year. Towada-Hachimantai National Park is located in the mountainous area of Northern Japan, and lies upon the three prefectures of Northern Tohoku. It is composed of “Towada-Hakkoda Area” , on the northern side that consists of Lake Towada, Oirase Gorge and Hakkoda Mountains and “Hachimantai Area” , on the southern side that consists of Mt. Hachimantai, Mt. Akita-Komagatake and Mt. Iwate. Both areas are very rich in natural resources, such as forests, lakes and marshes, and a wide variety of fauna and flora. There are also many onsen spots where you can immerse your body and soul. 01 Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Hakodate Airport Oma To Tomakomai Aomori Contents ● Tohoku Shinkansen about 3hr 10 min.

Number of Foreign Tourists 15,000,000
Final Report: "Developing the non-Muslim tourist destination for Muslim tourists: A case study of Akita Prefecture, Japan” (Nor Zafir Md Salleh) 1.0 Introduction Islamic Tourism is the type of tourism that adheres to the values of Islam (Al-Hamarneh and Steiner 2004). Although the definition of Islamic tourism looks rigid and confine to the values of Islam, the practice of Islamic tourism around the world is diversified and different from conservative Muslim countries to less conservative Muslim countries and non-Muslim countries. For example, in Saudi Arabia, Islamic tourism means doing tourism the Islamic way such as performing Hajj (Zamani-Farahani and Henderson 2009). In less conservative Muslim countries such as Malaysia, Islamic tourism is considered a tourism product by highlighting the values, history and culture as its unique selling proposition (Henderson 2003). Nonetheless, for non-Muslim countries, Islamic tourism activities are still at embryonic stage where the host countries are providing basic facilities such as Halal food, prayer room and qibla direction in hotel rooms to accommodate the needs of Muslim tourists (www.halalmediajapan.com). In short, there are three categories of Islamic Tourism such as Islamic Tourism for conservative, non-conservative and non-Muslim countries. Given the increasing trend of Muslim travelling worldwide, many of non-Muslim countries such as Japan embarks to provide a comfortable tourist experience for Muslim. The Muslim needs such as a proper place to pray and food have been provided to ensure the convenience of Muslim tourists. For example, at both Narita and Kansai International Airport, there are more prayer rooms being made available for Muslims and the popular Japanese food such as Udon and Ramen are certified Halal so that Muslim tourists could treasure Japanese food (www.halalmediajapan.com). -
論文の内容の要旨 Flood History of Central Japan During the Past 7000 Years Based on Detrital Flux to Lake Suigetsu （
論文の内容の要旨 Flood history of central Japan during the past 7000 years based on detrital flux to Lake Suigetsu （水月湖への砕屑物フラックスに基づく 中部日本における過去 7000 年間の洪水史） 氏名 鈴木 克明 Recently, extraordinary meteorological hazards such as floods and droughts occurring with low frequency gather attentions of many researchers. Especially, in coastal regions, rivers provide rich water resources in one aspect, but they could cause floods that may exert a fatal impact on human society. Therefore, it is important to observe these meteorological hazards and resolve their mechanisms in order to prepare for future occurrences of flood events. Frequency and magnitude of floods are important information to make decision to prevent these hazards. However, it is difficult to observe flood events directly because their occurrences are unpredictable and too dangerous to observe closely. To understand the frequency and magnitude of flood events, collecting the record of flood events in the past is a useful and important approach. However, observational records can only go back to the last few centuries, which is too short to evaluate the frequency and magnitude of flood events. As a potential recorder of flood events going back before observational records, event deposits in sediments are promising. When a flood occurred, significant amount of detrital material was delivered into the sedimentary basin within a geologically instantaneous period and preserved as an “event deposit” within the background sediment. Although sedimentary records have high potential for extending the time range of the flood record, it is difficult to extract quantitative information such as the magnitude of flood events. To improve the quantitative understanding of the flood event preserved in the sedimentary record, a comparison of characters of flood deposits and meteorological data is important. -

Diatom Assemblages in Lacustrine Sediments of Lake Tazawa, Akita Prefecture, Northern Japan

Faculty of International Resource Sciences, Akita University, 7. Faculty of Science, Kochi University Paleo-environmental histories at Lake Tazawa were presumed by diatom assemblages from two sediment cores at the center of the lake. Lake Tazawa (Tazawa-ko), Akita prefecture, northern Japan, is a caldera lake, and is the deepest lake in Japan (surface area: 25.8 m2, surface elevation: 249 m, max depth: 423.4 m). It was an oligotrophic and neutral lake until 1940. But two water tunnels were constructed in 1940 and very acidic hot spring water from Tamagawa Hot Spring flew into the lake. Therefore, the lake had become acidic. The lake acidification caused extinction of Oncorhynchus kawamurae (Kunimasu), a species of salmon endemic to Lake Tazawa. The neutralization plant was constructed in 1991, however water quality criteria (pH=6) has not yet been achieved. This study focused on the water environmental changes since 7000 years ago and influence of the lake acidification. In TZW15-1 core, Cyclostephanos tazawaensis and Discostella spp. were abundant in whole the core. These species are freshwater planktonic species and indicates the lake has been a freshwater lake in the past 7000 years. -

Mass Accumulation Rate of Detrital Materials in Lake Suigetsu As a Potential Proxy for Heavy Precipitation
Suzuki et al. Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (2016) 3:5 DOI 10.1186/s40645-016-0081-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Mass accumulation rate of detrital materials in Lake Suigetsu as a potential proxy for heavy precipitation: a comparison of the observational precipitation and sedimentary record Yoshiaki Suzuki1*, Ryuji Tada1, Kazuyoshi Yamada2, Tomohisa Irino3, Kana Nagashima4, Takeshi Nakagawa5 and Takayuki Omori6 Abstract In the densely populated region of East Asia, it is important to know the mechanism, scale, and frequency of heavy precipitation brought about during the monsoons and typhoons. However, observational data, which cover only several decades, are insufficient to examine the long-term trend of extreme precipitation and its background mechanism. In humid areas, the transport flux of a suspended detrital material through a river system is known to have an empirical power relationship with precipitation. Thus, the sedimentation flux of a fine detrital material could potentially be used as a proxy for reconstructing past heavy precipitation events. To test the idea that the sedimentation flux of detrital materials records past heavy precipitation events (e.g., typhoons), we focused on the detrital flux estimated from the annually laminated sediment of Lake Suigetsu, central Japan, which is capable of accurately correlating the age of detrital flux with the precipitation record. We first established a precise age model (error within ±1 year in average) beginning in 1920 A.D. on the basis of varve counting fine-tuned by correlation between event layers with historical floods. The flux of the detrital material (g/cm2/year) was estimated on the basis 3 of Al2O3 content (wt%), dry bulk density (g/cm ), and sedimentation rate (cm/year) calculated from the age model.
