Yamada Bay

Yamada Bay is almost circular, with a circumference of about 30 km, and the sea surface resembles a calm circular mirror, and the white rock surface and bright green pine trees on the large and small islands make it seem like a large miniature garden.

holland island

It is so called because a Dutch ship that was in trouble once stopped here. In 1643, the Breskens from Holland Island became separated from its companions due to a storm and anchored in Yamada Bay. At the time, the country was isolated, so the captain and 10 others were captured and sent to Edo. It is said that merchants and gunners were asked by the shogunate to teach Western gunnery in Edo. In the summer, it is crowded as the only uninhabited beach in Tohoku.
