Signboard Description

Onidake Volcano Tear Production Area

 Volcanic tears are glassy volcanic ejecta, which are water droplets of low-viscosity magma ejected into the air, and are less than 4 mm in size.
 The Onidake Volcano Group is a group of volcanoes that consists of Onidake and Hidake, and Jodake, Usudake, and Minodake on a gently sloping lava plateau, and retains its original volcanic topography well. Onidake is a 317-meter-high mortar volcano (homate) located south of Fukue City, and is a relatively new volcano with an old crater 500 meters in diameter.
 These volcanoes once ejected large amounts of volcanic ash, sand, and gravel. Among these volcanic ejecta, volcanic tears are particularly rare, and together with the Onidake volcano group, are valuable geological materials.

I want to travel all over Japan! With this in mind, I am always looking for places to visit when I have long vacations.
I would like to leave some of the videos and photos I have taken as a record of my travels.
In addition to travel, I also enjoy astrophotography and scuba videos.
