-STORY-

Stars, volcanoes and grasslands

 

 

 

starry sky - our roots in the universe

 

Countless stars shining in the night sky of South Aso. Nikkei Newspaper "In any ranking · In the lodging where the fall of the autumn is falling stars" The sky full of stars that looked up from the vast grassland of Minami Aso, which was also chosen as the 1 place is exceptional.

 

by the way, about about creating the current starry sky 137 a drama of the life and death of the stars that has continued since the universe was born 100 years ago. each of us is not irrelevant with this magnificent story.

 

Various elements that make up your body, gold rings that shine on the fingers of precious partners, rare metals used for smartphones, all synthesized in the life of the stars and brought to us. If we speak from the perspective of the space level, we are just "stars of the star".

 

Through the beautiful starry sky of Minami Aso, we touch our roots in the universe that is eternal.

volcano- " limited time " beat of the earth living

 

sometimes gently, sometimes rough. circumference 128 km aso volcano boasting the prestige of the world's largest caldera, surrounded by outer ring mountains ranging in size. 2014 it is recognized as a world geopark in the year, and it is popular as a "earth park" which is a geoscientific heritage.

 

most of the energy source of aso volcano was brought about by the birth of the earth. heat due to the collapse of the elements contained in the crust, frictional heat when heavy metals settle down to the nucleus of the earth, impact and compression heat caused by the falling meteorite, etc. ... .

 

Actually, the energy that makes these volcanoes is finite and is gradually lost little by little from the earth. At the end of a long time, like the moon floating in the night sky, the time will come when the earth becomes a star stopping activity without volcanoes.

 

Through a trip to Aso volcano, we will experience the beat of the earth living in a limited time just like we do.

 

 

 

prairie - 1000 nature and human activities over the year

 

Aso Kuju National Park is about "half the grassland area in the national park nationwide", the so-called "kingdom of the meadow".

 

Actually, this vast prairie is not made in nature. It has protected the wilderness where the volcanic meadow spreads originally by the hand of man.

 

People settled in Aso during the Paleolithic age of 30,000 years ago. Eventually rice cultivation spread around 300 BC. It is not certain when the grassland appeared in Minami-Aso, but for breeding cattle and horses etc. indispensable for agriculture such as rice cultivation, and for fertilizer production, by repeating grazing and burning, at least { I have kept the grassland for more than 1 year.

 

Through the Great Prairie of Minami Aso, you can feel the nature and people's activities that last for over 1000 years.

Now, why do you want to lie on the prairie in Minami Aso and want to see the stars.

 

that is···

 

" star · volcano · prairie "of the three stories are , i was born continuously in space time. each story is independent and still going on, but they are now we are crossing in minami aso it is.

 

Especially the southern Aso prairie is a rare place where all three elements of stars, volcanoes and grasslands are available. Every human has a memory that I have looked up to the star of the meadow through millions of years since its birth.

 

Therefore, this starry sky which can only be seen in South Aso, is so nostalgic that tears come out, so it resonates to my heart like this ...
