Background: From the ancient times Shimane prefecture consists of three regions namely, Izumo, Iwami and Oki. Izumo region appears in Japanese mythology as the birthplace of Japanese culture and history. The name Iwami also is much referred to in Man-yo-shu, literally “A Collection of a Myriad Leaves”, which is one of the oldest existing anthology of poetry put together in the late eighth century in Japan. One of the greatest poets of the time was Kakinomoto Hitomaro, who lived in Iwami, and whose verse covered more than half of all 4,400 poems of the collection. This Manyo-park was opened in 1982 as the third prefectural park of Shimane, to dedicate to the purpose of presenting Manyo-romanticism which is so lively and profoundly human, in Masuda city where the great poet once lived. Park has an accommodation facility, camp site, and open air theater. people visit the park for taking a walk, eating lunch and communicating elderly with youth. Work: 1. Maintenance on the park/camp site, such as collecting garbage, cleaning the area and watering flower beds. 2. Helping the kid’s event (Age 7 - 12) for a day.
