口永良部島　噴火　（Eruption of Kuchinoerabu island）

'Humbled by the greatness of nature' 　　自然には畏敬と謙虚さを

一昨年、口永良部島に行った時、土地の小中一緒の学校は「南海ひょうたん島」という山海留学制度を実施していた。これは体がちょっと調子悪い子を自然豊かな綺麗な島で生活する事で回復させる制度。十数名の全校生徒のうち、数人は島外からの子だった。

第二のふるさとに早く戻りたいよね。収束していち早く帰島できると良いね。湯向までの道を教えてくれたのは君たちだったから。

Two years ago , when I visited Kuchinoerabu island , elementary and junior high together school of land, it had been carried out study program called " Nankai gourd island " . This system is to recover for the body a little tone poor child, in a natural rich beautiful island from mainland. Dozen of the whole school students , include a few students ware from outside the island .

You 'll want to go back early in the second hometown . You may quickly return to the island by convergence. You told me the way to Yumugi area.

島は人口１４０人足らず。半分近くの人が６５歳以上の高齢者だ。主な産業はイセエビや高級魚からなる漁業。普通の魚はコスト高になってなかなか採算が合わない。

これから台風も降灰もあるだろう。亜熱帯に近いから手入れをしないと漁船も家畜も家も、シロアリなどの虫にやられかねない。お達者とはいえ、半分がご老人の島で再起するのは並大抵のことじゃない。

名産イセエビが美味しい、秘湯がたくさん湧いて、海に潜って魚と遊んで、海上がりに温泉に簡単に浸かれる素敵な島なんだよね。

Island population is less than 140. And the 65 -year-old or older share 45%. The main industry is fishing, which consists of lobster and fine fish. there is the matter of remote island.

It will come typhoon and ash-fall. But they need to adjust fishing boats. They need to care of livestock and pets. And they have to do house maintenance from insects such as termites, in subtropical regions.

Nevertheless elder guys island,they have to do that. I hope that they'll comeback on the island.But reconsutraction is not easy task.

Famous lobster is delicious , known a lot of hidden hot springs. Children are playing with fish diving into the sea, and easily to have the hot springs after swimming in the sea.
