- Yoshino-Kumano National Park
Details
A special geological formation called a “mud diapir” can be observed on the Banmachinose Beach. Mud diapirs are formed when muddy water from deep underground is forced into the strata above it and solidifies. It contains a large amount of angular conglomerate, pieces that were created when the upper strata were broken by the pressure of the intruding mud..
