This fault system is characterized by a quite high seismic activity and estimated to have a higher seismic risk among active faults in Kyushu Island. In,**-, we conducted an extensive seismic expedition in and around the Hinagu fault area. This expedition involves seismic refraction/wide-angle reflection experiment using dynamite shots and seismic array observation both for the active and passive seismic sources. For the refraction/wide-angle reflection study, two profile lines of /0.. and -,. + km lengths were set in EW and NNE-SSW directions, respectively, on which 1 dynamite shots of +**,** kg charge and -/3 recorders were deployed. The array observations, which were designed for high-resolution imaging of crustal scatterors and reflectors, were undertaken at / sites in the fault region. This paper presents the outline of this seismic expedition and fundamental data obtained. Key words: crust, structure, Hinagu, fault, Kyushu, Beppu-Shimabara graben
