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. Even so, with the passage of time, it overcame great hardships and gradually achieved reconstruction, and now it is crowded with many tourists in the summer. From a global perspective, earthquakes occur Same as above as typhoons, so I think it is very important to prepare for disasters based on the lessons of the past and pass them on to future generations. What is the Izu Peninsula Earthquake? At 8:33 a.m. on May 9, 1974, a direct earthquake with its Minamoto off the coast of Irouzaki had a magnitude of 6.9. The earthquake left a total of 38 people dead and missing, and caused enormous damage, destroying about 370 buildings. Date of occurrence: May 9, 1974 (Showa 49) 8:33 Earthquake magnitude: Magnitude 6.9 Dead or missing: 38 Damage (completely partially destroyed): Approx. 370 buildings

This is one of the mountain trails in Hyogo Prefecture, the former Fukuchiyama Line Abandoned railway lines! It used to be a coal mine, and the site where the railway was used as a transportation route is now known as a mountain trail full of nature. While it is an abandoned railway line and you can feel the history and remnants of the past, it is an easy-to-walk mountain trail with plenty of nature and not many ups and downs, so I personally would like to recommend it to those who want to enjoy hiking with parents and children.
