Monument to the Sea of Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Victims

This monument was built to honor the 6 people whose lives were lost on May 26th, 1983, when a tsunami hit Iriai Fishing Port following a magnitude 7.7 earthquake in the Sea of Japan off the coast of Noshiro. The waves carved on the side of the monument represent the reach of the tsunami (6.89m above sea level).
