Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park 新潟県 福島県 A natural landscape sculpted from north to south by volcanic forces and nature’s hand, and栃木県 cultivated from east to west by the ever-changing culture of humankind. Fuji-Hakone-Izu With Mt. Fuji located at its north end, Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park consists of various volcanic landforms and hot springs 群馬県 08 where major tectonic plates squeeze together, stretching to diverse coastlines and islands, making it a comprehensive National Park representation of many of the natural wonders of Japan. Mt. Fuji is not just the highest peak in the archipelago but is an integral part of Japanese culture and famous worldwide as a symbol of the country. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park comprises of four regions: the Mt. Fuji region, which includes its surrounding lakes, ponds, and plateaus surrounding the mountain; the Hakone region, which has been renowned as an 長野県 onsen spa destination for many centuries; the Izu Peninsula region, which features the Amagi Mountain Range and diverse coastlines; and the Izu Island region, which consists of volcanic islands including those where active volcanic茨城県 activity has been observed to the present day. The Mt. Fuji and Amagi Mountain Range regions are covered in dense forests filled with ancient trees, while the Izu Islands region is home to dolphins and colonies of coral for which viewing guidelines have been created for your enjoyment. Mt. Fuji’s exquisite profile has been a source of admiration since ancient times, leading to the development of traditions of mountain worship. Its value as a source of Japanese埼玉県 religious and aesthetic consciousness has been widely recognized and was designated as a World Cultural Heritage Site in June, 2013. Located close to the Tokyo area, Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park has the most visitors of any national park in Japan. ■Access Yamanashi Tokyo Prefecture Otsuki Station Tokyo Station Kawaguchiko Station JR Chuo Line Shinjuku Station Yoshida Route Kanagawa 5th Station Prefecture Fujinomiya Route 5th Tokaido Shinkansen Gotemba Oshima Station Station Shin-Fuji Hakone-Yumoto Station Station Toshima Mishima Motohakone, Station Hakonemachi Port Niijima Shizuoka Prefecture Shikinejima Kozushima Miyakejima Kumomi Beach, Oshima Shizuoka Prefecture 東京都島嶼部 1:500,000 正距円錐図法 0 5 10 15 20km ROOTS / Copyright(C) Heibonsha.C.P.C National park area Major road Expressway Hachijojima Mikurajima JR Shinkansen Private railway Access route 7 Approx. 80 min Approx. 45 min on JR Chuo Line Otsuki on Fujikyuko Line Kawaguchiko by bus, etc. Yoshida Station Station Entrance 5th Tokyo 2 3 Station Approx. 70 min by Tokaido Shinkansen Mishima Station by train, bus, etc. Fujinomiya Shin-Fuji Station Entrance 5th Approx. 90 min Hakone- by train, bus, etc. Motohakone, Shinjuku by Odakyu Romance Car Yumoto Hakonemachi Station Station Port 5 Access routes are given as examples.

  • Japan's Suicide Forest
    Cold Open: An alarming number of Japanese citizens have taken a dark pilgrimage to the Aokigahara (“Ah-oakee-gah-hara”) forest, more commonly known as Japan’s suicide forest, to end their lives, most commonly by hanging themselves from tree branches followed by taking an overdose of sleeping pills. An untold number have wandered in and have never wandered out. Beginning in the 1960s, between approximately ten and thirty people each year spent their last living moments in this forest at the base of Mt. Fuji. And the number of annual suicides has greatly increased recently. In 2003, 105 bodies were discovered. Comprehensive data on lives lost in the forest doesn’t seem to have been released since 2003, which is not a good sign. Why here? Why is a small patch of serene forest the second most popular suicide destination in the world, thought to trail only the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco? More than 1,500 people have jumped off that bridge and died since construction was completed in 1937. So many that the government has decided to build the world’s most expensive safety net. A stainless steel net, located about 20 feet below the bridge’s sidewalk, will span 1.7 miles of roadway on each side of the bridge and extend twenty feet out over the water. It’s gonna take four years to construct and will cost just over $200 million. It should be finished by 2021. And while that net will certainly make it a Hell of a lot harder for people to throw themselves off that bridge, how do you stop people from taking their lives in a thirty-square kilometer patch of forest? You can’t put a net under every tree.

  • Landslide Detection, Monitoring, Prediction, Emergency Measures and Technical Instruction in a Busy City, Atami, Japan
    LANDSLIDE DETECTION, MONITORING, PREDICTION, EMERGENCY MEASURES AND TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION IN A BUSY CITY, ATAMI, JAPAN K. Fujisawa1, K. Higuchi1, A. Koda1 & T. Harada2 1 Public Works Research Institute, Japan (e-mail: [email protected]) 2 IST Co. Ltd., Japan (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: National highway No.135 is a main road that supports the regional economy and sightseeing spots in Izu Peninsula. Atami is a busy city and leading resort with many hotels and resort apartment buildings, attracting more than 8 million visitors every year. In late 2003/early 2004, warning phenomena appeared just before a landslide destroyed a slope along the highway. The road office administrators were concerned that the community would be seriously paralyzed if the landslide intercepted traffic and caused hotels and buildings to collapse. There had been several small landslides at the bottom of the slope in August and September, causing traffic jams and the successive rupture of water service pipes buried alongside the road. However, the administrators did not realize that the series of phenomena were caused by landslides. Two months later in November, a water service pipe ruptured again, and the road office finally investigated the slope. This time, a landslide scarp and cracks were found on the slope, and the administrators realized that the series of small August/September phenomena had been caused by a landslide 75 m long and 75 m wide. Monitoring of landslide activity by extensometers was quickly started, by which time the slide velocity had accelerated to more than 5 mm/day. On December 6, the sliding velocity reached 24.8 mm/day, and a landslide was predicted to occur at noon on January 5.

  • Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J
    Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei mandara Talia J. Andrei Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2016 © 2016 Talia J.Andrei All rights reserved Abstract Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J. Andrei This dissertation examines the historical and artistic circumstances behind the emergence in late medieval Japan of a short-lived genre of painting referred to as sankei mandara (pilgrimage mandalas). The paintings are large-scale topographical depictions of sacred sites and served as promotional material for temples and shrines in need of financial support to encourage pilgrimage, offering travelers worldly and spiritual benefits while inspiring them to donate liberally. Itinerant monks and nuns used the mandara in recitation performances (etoki) to lead audiences on virtual pilgrimages, decoding the pictorial clues and touting the benefits of the site shown. Addressing themselves to the newly risen commoner class following the collapse of the aristocratic order, sankei mandara depict commoners in the role of patron and pilgrim, the first instance of them being portrayed this way, alongside warriors and aristocrats as they make their way to the sites, enjoying the local delights, and worship on the sacred grounds. Together with the novel subject material, a new artistic language was created— schematic, colorful and bold. We begin by locating sankei mandara’s artistic roots and influences and then proceed to investigate the individual mandara devoted to three sacred sites: Mt. Fuji, Kiyomizudera and Ise Shrine (a sacred mountain, temple and shrine, respectively).
