   To prepare this geological map, we referred to the survey and research results of many people including Dr. Mitsuru Okuno of Fukuoka University. Aso Volcanological Laboratory of Kyoto University, Japan Meteorological Agency, Ministry of the Environment, and Kuju Nature Conservation Office generously accommodated our field survey. Dr. Yasuo Miyabuchi of Kumamoto University provided us with the aerial photo. Dr. Keiji Takemura of Kyoto University informed of us the literature. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all who assisted in this project.
