Among which Devonian Fukuji Formation and Carboniferous Ichinotani Formation are very fossiliferous and were studied in detail. Recently, Ordovician fossils have been found from the Yoshiki Formation. In this paper, we summarized historical review and present status of the geological investigation of this district and pointed out several unsolved problems for the future study.
