For Partners and Stakeholders

Miyoshi Geopark includes protected zones such as the Tsurugisan Quasi-National Park and several national natural monuments.
If you plan to collect samples in these areas, you must obtain official permission in advance. For areas outside of protected zones, please contact and get consent from the landowners before entering or collecting any samples.
Unauthorized entry or sample collection is strictly prohibited. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Miyoshi Geopark spans the entire administrative areas of Miyoshi City and Higashimiyoshi Town, which include protected zones such as natural parks, cultural heritage sites (cultural assets), and national forests.
If you plan to enter these areas or collect samples, you must obtain the necessary permissions in advance. Some applications may take time to process, so the Miyoshi Geopark Secretariat offers support with the application procedures.
Please consult us at least one month before your intended research date. We also kindly ask that you keep sample collection to a minimum, in order to help preserve the region’s valuable natural and cultural resources for future generations. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
