Japan Trip: Beach, History, and More! at Kushimoto, Wakayama 15

Kushimoto is located on the southern tip of the Kii Peninsula in Wakayama Prefecture. This small town has beautiful coastal scenery as well as several interesting museums.

Cape Shionomisaki, located south of Kushimoto's town center, is the southernmost point of Honshu (Japan’s main island). Near the Cap are a shrine and Shionomisaki Lighthouse. Visitors are allowed in the lighthouse and can climb the spiral staircase to the top. Visitors can also learn about the lighthouse and the local history in the small museum located within the Shionomisaki Lighthouse.

Near Cape Shionomisaki lies Oshima Island. It is to mainland Japan by a large modern bridge. The island is home to two small foreign museums as well as beautiful coastal scenery.

The Turkish Memorial Museum is dedicated to a sea accident in 1890. A Turkish ship (the Ertugrul) was shipwrecked due to a rainstorm. When the survivors from the ship arrived onto the shores of Oshima, the townspeople took care of them until they could be safely return to Turkey. This incident marks the beginning of a deep friendship between Japan and Turkey.

On the mainland, visitors can see a series of rocks (around 40) dot the coastline leading out from the shore towards Oshima Island. It is believed that these rocks, called Hashikui-iwa, (meaning bridge pillar rocks) were created by the famous Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi. It is said he formed the rocks after being challenged by a monster to build a bridge across the sea. Now a national natural treasure, many visitors come to watch the sun rising over this beautiful, mysterious creation.

Trip to Wakayama/Mie12-2010

Yoko and I spent three days in Wakayama and Mie, Dec. 30th to Jan. 1st. We left Nagoya by train to Kii Katsuura Station. From there it was all by tour bus, except for the Turtle Boat to the first hotel.

We stayed at two Urashima Hotels, the first one in Nachi Katsuura-Cho, at the Port of Katsuura. The second one was Urashima Harbor Hotel in Kushimoto. One of them had 5 hotsprings and a couple were in caves with nice ocean views. check out this video:



The tour included Adventure World in Shirahama (its most popular attraction are the baby pandas), Kushimoto Marine Park, Hashikui Rocks and the southern-most place in Shiono-Misaki (Cape Tower), where we had a Tuna burger.

In Kumano we stopped at Nachi Falls and Nachi Taisha Shrine (to go up you have to climb 473 stone steps). Up there we had coffee and cake.

Our last stop before taking the train back to Nagoya was at the natural rock formation called Onigajo (devil's castle) near Kumanoshi Station.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
During the last weeks of World War II, warships of the United States Navy, the Royal Navy and the Royal New Zealand Navy bombarded industrial and military facilities in Japan. Most of these bombardments were conducted by battleships and cruisers, and caused heavy damage to several of the targeted factories, as well as nearby civilian areas. A major goal of the attacks was to provoke the Japanese military into committing some of its reserve force of aircraft into battle. However, the Japanese did not attempt to attack the Allied bombardment forces, and none of the involved warships suffered any damage.
The major bombardments began on 14 and 15 July 1945, when US Navy warships attacked the cities of Kamaishi and Muroran. The next attack was made by a joint American and British force against the city of Hitachi during the night of 17/18 July. Groups of cruisers and destroyers subsequently shelled the Nojima Saki area on 18 July, and Shionomisaki on the night of 24/25 July. On 29 July, American and British warships attacked Hamamatsu, and on the night of 30/31 several American destroyers shelled Shimizu. The final bombardment took place on 9 August, when Kamaishi was attacked again by American, British and New Zealand warships. Two US Navy submarines conducted small-scale attacks during June and July 1945; one of the submarines also landed a small raiding party.
The Allied naval bombardments disrupted industrial production in the cities targeted, and convinced many Japanese civilians that the war was lost. Up to 1,739 Japanese were killed in the attacks, and about 1,497 were wounded. The only Allied casualties were 32 Allied prisoners of war killed in the bombardments of Kamaishi.
