Known for its association with Uesugi Kenshin (1530–1578), the great samurai commander of the Sengoku period, the Okunoin draws many worshippers for its annual mountain-opening ceremony (Oyama nobori) on 14 June and mountain-closing ceremony (Oyama kudari) on 14 September. Given the heavy snows and steep mountain trails that C made reaching the temple a hardship for the faithful, around 1943 a temple was constructed in a hamlet in the foothills below to serve as the primary site for ceremonies and worship. Former Site of the Yonako Mine Between 1630 and 1960, the plateau overlooking Yonako Falls was the site of the Yonako Mine, which produced sulfur and other minerals. In the mine’s heyday nearly 1,500 people lived in the A Pair of Magnificent Waterfalls community, which even had services such as a clinic and a Nestled Deep in the Mountains school. Having climbed the trail from the parking lot along a beautiful ravine for about 30 minutes, the rolling rumble of the waterfalls can be heard amid the silence. Soon the magnificent waterfalls themselves can be glimpsed through breaks in the trees, Fudo Falls on the right and Gongen Falls on the left. To stand directly beneath Fudo Falls with its 85m vertical drop, experiencing the sound and scenery in person, is to have one’s body filled with the incredible energy of nature.

  • Maintenance of ASR-Affected Structures in Hokuriku Expressway, Japan
    Maintenance of ASR-affected Structures in Hokuriku Expressway, Japan Mamoru Moriyama1, Masahiro Nomura2 Abstract Increasing amounts of deicing salts have been used to ensure the safety of road surfaces in Hokuriku district, Japan. Sodium chloride, which accounts for the majority of deicers, has been causing damage to road concrete structures due to alkali-silica reaction. This report describes the current state of maintenance and repair techniques of these road structures affected by deicer-related alkali-silica reaction. Introduction Increasing amounts of deicing salts have been used to ensure safety of road surfaces in Hokuriku district, in Japan. The deicers used in this area have been mainly of sodium chloride (NaCl) type. In addition, the structures alongside the Japan sea coastline are subjected to monsoons, which increase its exposure to airborne chlorides from the sea. Therefore, these natural conditions set the road structures of the Hokuriku district in a permanent saline environment. As the effect of this chloride supply, the cases that alkali-silica reaction (ASR) deteriorates road structures have been increasing. On the other hand, river gravels and river sands have been used as concrete aggregates for a long time and these aggregates have been found in seriously ASR-affected structures. ASR has occurred mainly in structures primarily built from 1970 to 1985, a time when high alkali cement had been produced in Japan. Over the course of time, reactive river sands and gravels may not be properly assessed since these aggregates contain a wide variety of rock types, as well as different types and contents of reactive minerals. Central Nippon Expressway Company has covered the sections from Kinomoto IC (Shiga Prefecture) to Asahi IC (Toyama Prefecture) in Hokuriku Expressway and Oyabe-tonami JCT (Toyama Prefecture) to Shirakawago IC (Gifu Prefecture) in Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway, a total of 300km (9-39 years in service).

It is very important to find effective countermeasures that reduce the number of these tragic traffic accidents. However, general characteristics and factors of traffic accidents on undivided expressway have not been clarified sufficiently yet. We apply a discriminant analysis to traffic accidents data for five years in order to find some crucial factors for traffic accidents especially in snow cold region. Two categories, fatal or serious and slight injury, are used as a dependent variable.
