These vending machines are placed with the cooperation of each applicable company. With each purchase from the vending machines, a percentage of the profits is donated to the Hakusan Tedorigawa Geopark to support its activities. If you see one of these vending machines, please consider purchasing a drink to support the Geopark.

In our path to becoming a Global Geopark, it is necessary for conservation measures to be undertaken at various places throughout the Geopark. In an area as large as Hakusan City, containing numerous natural resources, it is difficult to undertake daily monitoring. For this reason the Japan Post Office, whose workers are constantly working in and around the Geopark, has signed a formal cooperation agreement (signed September 21, 2012) to share information on the conservation status of natural resources. This is the first agreement of its kind in Japan, between a public and private business, and acts as a Geopark conservation system.

Journey of Water Guides are people who share and spread awareness of the beauty and sights of the Geopark to their friends, family, coworkers, and customers. Anyone can become a Journey of Water Guide by simply attending a free Journey of Water Guide lecture. Look out for people and shops with this sticker and flag.
