Fifty years have passed since the "Izu Peninsula Earthquake" that occurred at 08:33 on May 9, 1974 (Showa 49). At the time of the earthquake, there are still black and white photographs (some in color) preserved by the Minamiizu Tourism Association at that time, and although they are not well preserved, I hope that they will help with future earthquake countermeasures, so I will Publication them. At that time, with the opening of the Izu Kyuko Line Line in 1961 (Showa 36)) and the opening of the Margaret Line (free opening in 1983) in 1972 (Showa 47 (Showa 47)), the number of tourists increased and tragedy struck Minami-Izu Town, which was becoming the center of the tourism industry. 1976 (Showa 51 (Showa 51)) Flooding of the Aono River due to torrential rain in July, Kawazu earthquake in August of the same year, 1978 (Showa 53 (Showa 53) Izu Oshima Island Earthquake and other disasters occurred continuously, and infrastructure Maintenance was not completed in time, and the number of tourists decreased sharply.
