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.

Fudai Sluice Gate

It is a water gate with a height of 15.5m and a total length of 205m that reaches the mouth of the Fudai River. This is one of the largest flood gates in the Tohoku region, assuming a 15-meter Meiji tsunami, and it stopped the tsunami that occurred in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake from flooding into the center of the village. The water gate was completed in 1984 at a total construction cost of 3.56 billion yen. Nearby is a monument honoring Yukitoshi Kazumura, the village chief at the time, who was instrumental in this project, with the inscription ``What happened twice must not happen a third time.'' It is also certified as a geosite of Sanriku Geopark.
