The activity report for 2018 was held at the Chihide Center. We talked about the value of Taya Caves, which is considered from international joint research with a national research institute in Italy, and presented reports on research activities by high school students, university students, and graduate students. With interest in academic research reports, participants were exposed to a different surprise in Taya Caves.

In the hall outside the venue, we exhibited a huge terrain model and a cave circular cross -section model made with 6th grade elementary school students in a small and large collaboration project . Flowers bloomed in stories of various types of regions, and valuable multi-layered information was gathered. There was also interest in utilizing 3D digital data.

A report on conservation activities for FY2018 was held at the Senshu Center.  We talked about the value of Taya cave, which is considered from international joint research with Italian national research institutes, and presented research activities by high school, university, and graduate students.  Participants were interested in academic research reports and touched on the unusual surprises of Taya Cave.

In the hall outside the room, the big  topographical model and a cross section model of the  cave, which were made  by a sixth grader with university collaboration project, were exhibited.  There were lively discussions of various types of regions by participants. We were able to share multi-layered valuable information on the region.

There was also interest in using 3D digital data.

Regarding the spread of the new coronavirus, which has been rampant in Japan since January 2020, there was news that some passengers who returned home from the large passenger ship Diamond Princess using public transportation were re-infected. In response, we have decided to cancel or postpone the 2019 regional debriefing session.

We are considering holding it again when the time comes to improve the situation.

​

[Activities in 2019]
