Visiting a fault line created by an earthquake/地震で出来た断層を見学

[yamamo_cchi]

While I believe that local guides are important for local information, I would also like to record a bit of information about the places I travel to.

I can easily visit large cities with good accessibility, but I cannot help but visit regional cities that are not so accessible.

I took the Tarumi Railway to Motosu City, Gifu Prefecture.

The purpose was to see the Usuzumi-zakura cherry blossoms in Neo Village , but it was still too cold and they had not yet bloomed.

There are other spots of interest as well, so I will introduce them here.

Neo Fault

On October 28, 1891, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake centered in this area occurred.

The tremor was recorded not only in this area but also throughout Japan.

The fault line created by the earthquake has been preserved as a national natural monument.
There is nothing around it, so you can take a good look at it.

A nearby facility allows visitors to observe the details of the fault.

Along with this, it is an important facility where the conditions and testimonies of those affected are recorded.

Recently, there have been many earthquakes in and around Japan.
Visiting this facility has helped me raise my awareness of disaster prevention.

I believe that this is an area that should receive more attention in Japan.

ローカルガイドは地元の情報も大事だとは思いますが、旅先の情報も少しは記録したいと私は考えます。

アクセスの良い大都市には気軽に行けますが、アクセスが良くない地方都市はどうしても足が遠のきます。

岐阜県本巣市へ樽見鉄道に乗っていきました。

目的は根尾谷淡墨桜を見たかったのですが、まだまだ寒くて開花していませんでした。

それ以外にも気になるスポットが有りましたから紹介します。

根尾谷断層

https://maps.app.goo.gl/pFrpLXZ7FpqhYmWN9

1891年10月28日、このエリアを中心にマグニチュード8.0の地震が発生しました。

このエリアだけではなく、日本全土でも揺れがあったと記録されています。

それで出来た断層は国の天然記念物として保存されています。

周囲にはなにもないのでその様子をじっくり見ることが出来ます。

根尾谷断層地震断層観察館

近くにある施設で断層の詳細を観察することが出来ます。

それとともに被害にあった人々の状況や証言も記録されている大切な施設です。

最近、日本やその周囲で地震が多発しています。

この施設を見学したことで防災の意識を高めることが出来ました。

日本国内でももっと注目されるべきエリアではないかと考えます。

Hello @yamamo_cchi , Very interesting post on the fault line created by the earthquake, I like it. Thanks for sharing.

What a fascinating post @yamamo_cchi - I love finding out about places where the forces of nature have impacted on the way mankind chooses to live - and to recognise how little control we have of them and how big their effect can be. Thanks again!

@Annaelisa

I am very happy to hear of your interest.
By leaving traces of natural disasters, we are using them for lessons learned and for academic purposes.
The faults in this area in particular are said to be of great research value.

@PeteMHW

Thanks for the comment.
All over the world, there must be many other landforms created by various natural forces besides earthquakes.
I wish I could share some of them with you!

@PrasadVR

Thanks for the comment.
It must have really surprised people at the time that the earthquake changed the terrain in such an amazing way.
Science is not as advanced as it is today.

@yamamo_cchi さん、こんな断層が保存されているとは・・・。周辺に住んでいる人より、案外旅行者の方のほうが、視点が新しくて、その土地の新しいものを発見してくれることがあるように思います。旅先の情報発信、大切ですね！ありがとうございました！

@Yucco さん
地元の人以外のほうが注目すること結構ありますよね。
そういう視点を大事にローカルガイドやっていきましょう
