The Japanese Geoparks Network (JGN) is a specified non-profit organization which provides support and a networking platform for Japanese Geoparks, aspiring geoparks. A Geopark is a single and unified geographical area where people conserve important geological heritage and landscapes, as well as utilize this Earth heritage for education, disaster mitigation activities and geotourism, all with the aim of sustainable development for local communities. You can enjoy diverse stories of the Earth through nature, history, life, food and culture in each geopark. Geoparks are rapidly expanding in Japan, and the role of the domestic network of Geoparks has become increasingly important.
As of April 2018, the JGN regular membership consists of 9 UNESCO Global Geoparks and 34 National Geoparks. There are 18 aspiring geoparks listed as associate members. The network also has supporting members, both individuals and private companies that want to support geoparks.
