About the Yamanashi Uenohara Geopark Concept Preparatory Committee

Request for the realization of the "Yamanashi Uenohara Geopark Concept"

"You just don't know about it yet." This is Uenohara City's brand message. Uenohara City is a town with many treasures that are not yet known nationwide, including its rich nature, a history that has continued uninterrupted since the Jomon period, and local specialty products that are produced and consumed locally.

The "Yamanashi Uenohara Geopark Concept" is a town revitalization plan that connects these scattered treasures within the city through human movement, revitalizing the entire city by connecting "points" with "lines" and revitalizing the "surface."

The "Yamanashi Uenohara Geopark Concept" embodies the Uenohara Future Strategy's belief that fostering local pride (i.e., a love for Uenohara) among the children of Uenohara, who will be the next generation, will be the driving force behind the revitalization of Uenohara.

In order for this "Yamanashi Uenohara Geopark concept" to become a reality, it is absolutely essential that we gain the understanding of the residents of Uenohara and utilize the region's glittering treasures—its geology, topography, nature, history, and culture—as "geosites."

We sincerely ask for your support and cooperation in this "Yamanashi Uenohara Geopark Concept."
