Magnetic holes (MHs) in the solar wind are isolated depressions in the magnitude of the interplanetary magnetic field, which
have attracted recent observational and theoretical attentions. On 25 September 2001, we observed an interaction event
between an interplanetary shock (IPS) and a MH using the GEOTAIL data (plasma and energetic particles, magnetic and magnetic
fields, and plasma waves) as well as those from the other ISTP spacecraft (ACE and WIND). What we observed were, (1) within
the MH the solar wind plasma density and temperature respectively showed a decrease and increase keeping the pressure
balance condition with the dropping magnetic pressure, (2) the solar wind velocity showed a significant decrease in the
region surrounding the MH, (3) the nonthermal ions were trapped within the MH structure, and (4) in the MH there were
enhancement of magnetic turbulence in the frequency range of 0.1-8 Hz, while no obvious enhancement was seen in the frequency
range above $\sim$10 Hz. We will discuss physical implications of these observations. In addition, we are trying to deduce
the evolution history of the MH-IPS system from the multi-satellite data.
