How if visiting it once?
In old times, traffic that used Tonegawa was active, when a lot of artists and scholars such as Kazan Watanabe and Soutan Akamatsu visited this place.
The stone lantern ashore was used for the lighthouse. Akiko's Yosano monument has been built here.
The embankment around here is a cycletrack. It is also pleasant to run on bicycle along the flow of magnificent Tonegawa.
