Fault zones commonly contain distinctive structures such as fault cores and damage zones, where physical properties vary locally. These zones are important for evaluating underground safety and groundwater flow in waste disposal, yet quantitative measurements near faults remain limited. We applied Schmidt hammer and needle penetration tests to assess the mechanical properties of the rocks near the Tanakura Fault, in a simple, non-destructive manner. The results showed a clear spatial variation in measured values with distance from the fault gouge boundary, suggesting that combining methods with different scales and sensitivities can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of rock mass properties near faults.
