Hagi city in Yamaguchi prefecture may have a strong image of a castle, but in fact there are many hidden traces of small volcanoes.
The Abu volcanic group, which began activity 2 million years ago, created a large amount of lava plateaus.
And in Tsuwano town in Shimane prefecture, southeast of Hagi city, the oldest granite gneiss in Japan, dating back 2.5 billion years, was discovered. What exactly is gneiss?
We'll explain the fascinating topography and geology of Hagi and Tsuwano as we tour them by motorbike.
