40°N Symbol Tower

Kurosakienchi

Kurosaki is a 150 to 200 meter high cliff that plunges almost perpendicularly into the Pacific Ocean. At the tip of the cape is the Kurosaki Lighthouse, which was selected as one of Japan's top 50 lighthouses in 1998 and one of the ``Lighthouses in Love'' in 2019. The surrounding area includes the symbolic tower at 40 degrees north latitude, the Carillon Bell, the Kurosaki-so National Lodge, and the Kurosaki Observation Deck, and the view of the sunrise from here is breathtakingly beautiful.

Kenji Miyazawa Poetry Monument (Kurosaki Observation Deck)

Two monuments of Kenji Miyazawa's poetry have been erected in Fudai Village. At Kurosaki Observation Deck, there is a monument with a poem written by ``Motor Ship Ichi.'' Based on the theory that the setting of this work is Nedari Beach, it was built in 2015 in a location overlooking Nedari Beach.

Kenji Miyazawa Poetry Monument (Matsuiso Park)

Two monuments of Kenji Miyazawa's poetry have been erected in Fudai Village. One of these is the monument to ``The Lost Boy's Song'' in Matsuiso Park, and it is said that Horiuchi Port was the port where Kenji boarded his engine boat when he traveled to Sanriku in 1925. It was built in 2004. The epitaph was chosen as a literary poem, ``Song of a Defeated Boy,'' which is an adaptation of ``Sanshiro: Jealousy of the Apocalypse,'' which Kenji wrote at dawn on the day he boarded the ship.
