First, gaze out over the vast field of volcanic rock from the observation deck. An eruption caused massive amounts of magma to cover an area wider than 3km, which later cooled into the volcanic rock that now remains.
Even 300 years later, no plants grow here. The famous poet and Renaissance man, Miyazawa Kenji, wrote a poem about this mysterious landscape. The guide will read this poem and introduce visitors to the world of Miyazawa Kenji. After this, we’ll walk through the vast field of volcanic rock, experiencing the area fully and while learning more about the geological history.
