Area(Site) Introduction

Hello everyone. This is Miyaura Junior High school on Yakushima Island, Japan.
This is Japan. And, this is Yakushima where we live. Yakushima Island is a small island that is about 130km around.
It takes onluy about 2 hours to rive around the island by car.
Even thought it is a very small island, there is a differentce in altitude of about 2000m from sea level to the highest mountain peak.
Because of this vast differentce in altitude, Yakushima experiencees all the climates of Japan from North to South.
This type of ecosystem is rare in the world.
We have many cedars that are more than 1000(thousand) years old.
There is beautiful and rare nature even in the world. Therefore, Yakushima Island registered in the UNESCO world natureal heritage in 1993(nineteen ninety three).

It explains with showing a photograph.
・ A Japanese rest room is inconvenient to the handicapped person because it is narrow
and it can't sit down on it.
・ There are many places where a wheelchair can't pass by the step.
・ Stairs need a slope, too. But, a wheelchair won't be able to climb it easily.
・ Even a wheelchair passes easily if there is no step on the floor.
・ The person of the wheelchair can't pass through the place where there are a step and
stairs alone.
・ When there are stairs in the entrance, it isn't put in the building itself, and it is
inconvenient.
・ The person of the wheelchair wants a slope to the step so that he can pass.
・ Even we tumble down when there is a step.
