Let's learn about the topography, geology, and history of Mt. Apoi, which was formed along with the Hidaka Mountains!
Mt. Apoi Geopark, recognized as a "Japan Geopark" in 2008 and a member of the "UNESCO Global Geoparks" in 2015, introduces not only its valuable geology and topography but also the history, culture, and industry of Samani Town.
