1.2.2. Strategy and legislation to protect against damage of

geological sites and features

The geopark has multiple mechanisms for conservation:

Law-based (National Park Convention and Cultural Properties Act),

nature restoration activities, de-facto conservation by traditional

‘commons’ management, Geopark induced conservation, and

various clean-up activities. In addition, signboards are set up in

geopoints where such activities are not present, these signboards

prevent fossil collection and unlawful extraction of the heritage.

（See the Conservation List）

1.2.3. How are the geosites protected against misuse and damage?

Warning signboards are put in place in major fossil sites.

1.2.4. What measures are carried out to protect geosites and

infrastructure against damage and natural degradation?

Geosites and surroundings are periodically cleaned by citizens and

local administration units. Specimens of landform or strata are

preserved at Komuroyama and Tanna Fault Park.

Heritage

Interpretation and Guiding

Interpretation and guiding by Izu Peninsula Geoguide Association．

In addition specialist researchers also conduct guidance for

university, school visitors and researchers upon request. One of the

researchers also instruct geoguides.

Education programs

Geoguides provide special classes in local schools.

In Izu Sogo High School, geopark is a part of the mandatory

general education subjects. Science section students carry out

special geotours for elementary school students.

The Geoguide Training Program is directly administered by the

geopark, the Geoguide Association is a partner for this program.

Communication

98 registered geoguides at Izu Peninsula Geoguide Association and

freelance geoguides, Ito Fishing Cooperative, and local hotels/

restaurants that promote local food consumption---these are our

main partners in geopark management. In addition we encourage

the use of the logo by qualified parties, the geogashi geological

sweets made by a guide organization shares our logo, for example.

Promotion to the general public

We have good relationship with local newspaper publishers

(Shizuoka Shinbun, Izu Shinbun)—these media channels help us

to reach out to people and provide general and events related

information. Dr. Masato Koyama wrote guest columns on the

geological heritage of Izu for both newspapers. Geo-maps and

guidebooks etc. are published in collaboration with newspaper

publishers.

We are arranging symposiums with the Ministry of the

Environment and Shizuoka Prefecture. Various pamphlets, PR

documents are created by the cities, towns and the Shizuoka

Prefecture that feature our geopark.

2. Does a management or Master Plan exist?

Yes. Please refer to Izu peninsula Geopark Master Plan.

3. Master Plan Components

1. Developing the concept of ‘Izu-jin’(people who embody the

heritage of Izu).

2. To conserve and utilize the natural resources of the geopark.

3. Promoting natural hazard awareness and preparedness among

the local community as well as communicating such wisdom

to the outside world.

4. To create quality living environment.

5. To put in place a basic administrative system to support the

above mentioned activities.

4. Does your Geopark have a Marketing Strategy?

The Izu Peninsula Grand Design (2013)

The concept is to think Izu peninsula as ‘One Izu’, where residents

can feel a sense of pride, and identity of there are in the world.

This concept was finalized by mayors of cities and towns. Geopark

is positioned as the leading project for regional revitalization.

5. Geopark should protect its geological heritage and create

sustainable geotourism. What has been done to fulfil this duty?

(Application section B-3-1)

The geopark divides its geosites in categories on the basis of use.

Vulnerable geosites are protected under limited access status.

The geopark is collaborating with the Ministry of the Environment

to make a database of natural and cultural resources in and around

geosites.

In addition various citizen managed nature restoration and

protection schemes are seen throughout the geopark.

Geoguides are also active in generating awareness about geosite

conservation. Local administrative staff are helpful partners in a

number of such activities.

As for sustainable tourism, various efforts of eco-travel and local

business, handicrafts and food tourism promotion efforts are

present. We have detailed these aspects in the Application.

List of geopoint types

Geopoint

Type Details Number

General

access

These sites can be visited by anyone: tourists, residents or researchers. They pose no or little difficulty of access, visitors can get a sense of the geostory of the peninsula. Website or pamphlet based guidance is available, explanation panels are also present in many of these sites.

159

Limited

use/

Limited

access

These sites can be visited by anyone: tourists, residents or researchers. But some of them pose difficulty of access or some safety concern. These are also valued for their common geotourism purpose. Visitors can access these sites when geoguides or tour operators are present.

27

Education

purpose

These sites have particular value for geoscience researchers. They pose no or little access issues, but sometimes the contents/explanation are not easily explained to all levels of visitors. Based on demand, information about these can be provided by the geopark, and is inscribed in the geospoint manual.

105

Research

purpose

Mainly for research purpose. They have geoscientific value but most are accessed with considerable difficulty. The geopark provides special guidance about these sites on a case-by-case basis.

5.3. Measures taken to regulate and reduce traffic (restricted

access, central parking lots, traffic guiding system, signposting

etc.)

Futo, Jogasaki coast geosites have restriction for buses or large

vehicles. This type of information is displayed on area maps.

5.4. Environmental friendly hiking path system

Omuroyama: Prohibition of directly climbing the scoria cone on

foot. Visitors are taken on the top by a cable car. This allows

protection of the fragile scoria layer. Local residents have come

together to manage this setup and the income is used for

conservation.

5.5. Clearly defined cycle or other trails such as bridleways or

river trails.

40 km cycling course along Kanogawa River, possible to enjoy

cycling and enjoying Joyama-Katsuragiyama panorama. 100 km

long running event is organized once a year.

Dogashima geosite cruise features local tour company and geoguie

collaboration.

6 Are there any initiatives or working groups who discuss

promotion of natural and cultural heritage

Working groups on conservation and tourism are present.

7 Has your geopark area received any awards or other formal

recognition for its activities in the fields of geodiversity,

conservation or sustainable geo-tourism during the last five

years?

IV. Geotourism

1. Promotional Material

Izu no daichi (Geology of Izu Peninsula) is a series of topographic

and geological maps. These maps divide the peninsula in 5 areas.

Developed by Dr. Masato Koyama of Shizuoka University, these

maps provide explanations of geological structure, land relief,

culture and history. The maps are available in Japanese.

In addition leaflets and pocket books with maps and geosite photos,

DVD are available.

Other business initiatives include geogashi sweets, geo breads and

geo food. －See separate sheet (Reference.1)

2. In how many languages is the marketing material produced?

As this is a Japanese geopark, primary language of communication

is Japanese. In addition English guidance is available for most

items. Chinese and Korean language guiding materials are also

available, to respond to the demands of tourists from these

countries.

Easy-to-carry pocket maps and DVDs in multiple languages

(English, Chinese (simplified and traditional Chinese character),

Korean) are available. In addition, the Geological story of Izu

Peninsula will be available in English version soon.

－See separate sheet (Reference.1)

3. Information center etc.

The geopark already has 7 geopark visitor centers. Eventually 15

visitor centers will be completed in all areas of the geopark. These

geopark visitor centers provide information about the geopark,

guide support, fossil displays (selling is strictly prohibited). Local

products are sold as souvenirs. Some visitor centers are based on

the universal design concept, wheelchair access is possible. The

centers are also used as geotour points.

In addition 25 Tourist Information Booths are in operation, these

provide tourism related information (not only about the geopark).－

See list p22.

4. How is information and interpretation about the area presented in

info centres, information points etc?

these parties. Some geosites have constant guide availability. Some

tours are operated with cruise line companies and traffic companies,

and interesting explanations of food, biota, local beliefs etc. are

combined with geosite guidance. Diving tours wehre the geopark is

explained from the water and kayaking tours along the coast are some

prominent examples of more adventure oriented tours.

A number of geosites have universally designed facilities, allowing

tours for people with physical constraints.

In times of bad weather the visitor centers, various exhibits and

specimen can be used as replacement of outdoor activities.

V. Sustainable Regional Economy

1. What efforts are undertaken to promote regional food and craft

products, integrating the catering trade?

The geopark is surrounded by two deep troughs of Suruga and Sagami.

These bays are rich in fish. So there are many local food products

such as Geo don rice bowl, seafood dish in the Geopark.

The geopark is making attempts to introduce these items through

demonstrations, PR.

1.2. Meals from regional and/or ecological production are
