The Tsunami Attain Mark Post in Fukuro
袋の津波到達標柱／Fukuro no Tsunami Totatsuhyotyu
Details
In the Fukuro area of Kushimoto Town, there is a tsunami marker memorializing the Showa Nankai Earthquake of 1946 (magnitude 8). Positioned on a slope, this marker indicates a tsunami height of approximately 7.9 meters, highlighted by a yellow line. The area’s geographical features, which enhance tsunami heights, suggest that potential flooding from future earthquakes in the Nankai Trough could be more severe here than in surrounding areas.
