【Nature Event Lecture in Kawayu Visitor Center】
At the Kawayu Visitor Center, it has been decided to Held in two lectures on Nature contact events.
In October, Professor Emeritus Tomoko Yoshikawa, Faculty of Agriculture, Tamagawa University, will give a lecture entitled "Creatures of Volcanic Lakes: The Gari of the Ecology of Lake Kussharo," and in December, we will invite Dr. Mitsuhiro Nakagawa, a research fellow and specially appointed professor at Hokkaido University, to give a lecture titled "Why Lake Kussharo is Shallow: The Secrets of the Atosanupuri Volcano Revealed by the Latest Research."

The area where we live is centered on the Kussharo Caldera, which was formed by a large volcanic activity. Lake Kussharo, a large Caldera lake No.1 in Japan, is a symbol of Akan Mashu National Park, and has nurtured a variety of living things along with the bounty of volcanoes.

In order to take a fresh look at this special lake and share its charm and origins, we have planned two lectures this time. First, Gari will explain the connection between the lake and living creatures, and then the secrets of volcanoes revealed by the latest research, each expert will gently unravel.

We hope that by experiencing the magnificent Nature story behind Lake Kussharo, which you have become familiar with as a familiar landscape, you will have the opportunity to learn more about this lake and park and feel proud of it.
