Looking at Japan from a geological perspective allows us to understand current earthquakes and volcanic activity. Geology also provides insight into the background of Japanese society and culture. In this event, we will visit the Nakatsugawa Mineral Museum to see beautiful mineral collections and to learn about mineral resources of the Tokai region. Then, we will participate in the museum’s Stone Hunting experience to search for crystals.
