Kinkazan Lighthouse - Ishinomaki

fishing!

Time has stopped since the earthquake

Always look we ♪ from the sea side And here also out off the coast come looks relieved. Thank you!

It is said that if you visit the same day for three years, you won't have any trouble with your money for the rest of your life. The island is a remote island that usually does not live except for priesthood. There are more deer and monkeys on the island than humans. In order to go from the wharf to the shrine, you have to walk Kitui slope for about 20 minutes, but if you come by boat, they will pick you up by car. There are many deer on the island, and they also come to the precincts for food. Monkeys rarely appear near shrines. There are many people who do not meet even if they walk around the island. However, you can see that there is a monkey because the dung's dung and the dung's like humans are mixed. Kinkazan was the closest to the epicenter at the time of the earthquake. From the wharf to the shrine and the mountaintop, many people have put in a lot of efforts and support, but it is safe to say that everything else is left unattended. The eastern coast of the island is heavily damaged by the tsunami. There are some landslides, but it is not as close to the southwest direction. Every time I walked along the southwest coast, Kinkayama front pedestrian path, erosion due to waves and streams, landslides, fallen trees, and falling rocks are advancing. I think it was a year ago, but a large space just south of the wharf was eroded all at once because the concrete revetment collapsed due to a typhoon. It's even worse this year. It seems that in the past it was a route that could be reached by car to the lighthouse, but if it remains as it is, the road itself is likely to disappear. When walking, I think there are many falling rocks. Compared to the east coast, there are many fallen trees, but there are overwhelmingly many rockfalls. It may be because the road is geographically located along a rocky area, but the fact that a rock larger than a person falls down and blocks the road is a characteristic of the southwestern part. The rocks of Mt. Kinka are rooted by trees and grown large on them, but it seems that the roots have collapsed and the balance has collapsed due to the rotten trees, resulting in falling rocks. In the season when this cherry blossoms bloom, the mountains on the southwest coast seem to be winter mountains without leaves. Maybe it's already dead. I don't know if it was salt damage or if the deer ate roots and rotted. However, it is sad to see a mountain where all the dead trees are growing cold and there is no shade at all. Is there no choice but to fall down? It is a little dangerous to reach the lighthouse, but it is relatively safe to go from the sidewalk. The distance over the mountains is shorter, but the mountain roads after the Nino Goten pass are basically undeveloped. You can't see the way when summer plants are overgrown. It seems that there used to be guesthouses in the past, but nowadays, there is no other lodging available for visiting the shrines, and the dining room is almost inactive. Last year there was a nice waiting area for the ship, but it seems that it will be closed when the ship comes out. It is not a mountain to be in distress, but if you are not in time for the boat you will be forced to stay, so be careful when going to the lighthouse. There is no lighthouse, but there is also a live camera so you can play loose The view is good. There are also deer herds near the lighthouse, and the horns fall when the horns change. Oh, it's a convention here that you don't take things from the island home. The lighthouse is Pokemon's gym, but as soon as you take it, it will be returned to the trainer of the fishing boat w The sea near Kinkazan is one of the leading fishing grounds, and it seems that some people come to the shore to fish. There are sometimes rock climbing groups on the rocks. But, basically, I rarely meet people after Nino Palace. It is also important to visit the Koganeyama Shrine and pray for higher luck. However, we recommend trekking to the lighthouse, where you can learn about the current state of Mt. Kinkazan. However, there are many places that do not form the road due to landslides, so it is dangerous if you do not have enough equipment and knowledge of climbing to some extent!

The mountain trail after the summit of Kinkazan has not been maintained since the earthquake. Especially in summer, the grass exceeds the height and there is a danger of hills and ticks. Since there are no metal stairs, there is a part that rusts and the bottom comes out. The road along the coast has collapsed everywhere and is in a difficult state. Still, there was a superb view that I was glad to come to.

I visited Kinkasan Lighthouse on May 12 which was my wish. This day is a festival of shrines. Only I went to the lighthouse in the opposite direction to the shrine (laughs) At first I walked on a crumbling road. On the way there are roads that can not be climbed without using ropes, so be careful! It was an almost flat road to the lighthouse, and it took 1 hour and 40 minutes one way. Some blocks were collapsed under the influence of the Great East Japan Earthquake. I could not see the inside of the lighthouse, but the lens was safe and safe. If you do your best, please keep the light of the light nadenade and keep the sea safe from now on! Return encounter with cute deer parent and child (^ ^) It was a fulfilling day.

This year, the mountain trail from the summit to Senjojiki is well maintained and easy to walk ?‍♀️ There are many fallen trees along the coast, but it is flat so you can go to the lighthouse smoothly ? There is no doubt that you will be impressed by the triple time of the cliff, the horizon, and the lighthouse ? Be careful not to forget the time and miss the ship ⛵️

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, little has been done to restore Mt. Kinka itself, so to reach the lighthouse, you have to go through the fallen trees and landslides. At the time of aerial photography, instead of the usual sea route, take a charter flight from Onagawa Port to Kinkazan Port. It takes about 30 minutes. It takes a 2-hour walk from Kinkazan Port to the lighthouse (4 hours for a round trip). On a day with high humidity, the "hill" may fall down the road, so be careful. I am impressed that the lighthouse itself has often endured the earthquake. It is definitely not recommended to go alone. There are several places where there is a risk of falling into the sea if you slide down the way. This time, there is a request for aerial photography from the Coast Guard, and it will be a still image out of the video taken under the auspices of the Coast Guard Headquarters of the 2nd Region and Miyagi Coast Guard. Normally, you cannot browse inside the lighthouse.
