Memorial Forest - Iwate District

From May 1, 2020, the name has been changed from "Memorial Forest" to "Mori no Shizuku Park". It's been more than 20 years before I wanted to come and visit somewhere with various connections. I used to go there many times before ... According to the managing company, at the 50th anniversary, we would like to change from "a place of memorial" to "a place of praying for aviation safety", and want to make it a place (park) that is easy for general people unrelated to the accident to visit. That. I think there are ten different ideas, but I personally think it's a wonderful initiative. For a long time, it was a quiet place for the victims to sleep quietly, It may be a warm place where people gather and live. (However, I think it's better to go to the night and night, but ...) I think it is important to remember that there were many people who suffered deeply from the big accident that happened here. Shizukuishi is a wonderful place full of nature, so I want you to feel the breath of forests and creatures in this park. While I'm fine, I will explore every corner of the park, have fun, and join hands with the sleeping soul. * I only know the entrance, so I decided to use 3 stars.

It's really dangerous here, if you go for fun, you'll die seriously, so there are people who went and became plant humans, be prepared for the one who went

Parking lot: About 5 cars are likely to be parked. Map code 81540677 * 41 North latitude 39.39'33.04 East longitude 141.00'05.35

This is a place where you can thank nature for being alive now.

I knew there was a ghost. I thought it was a lie. I don't feel like it I was about to ... Maybe I'm glad I didn't go. Somehow I'm sweating I thought it was ominous because it was sticky. I couldn't stop sweating as I went away, so I'm sorry. It's no good if you get rid of it It's going to be a big deal

It is said that two years have passed since the air collision of ANA and SDF aircraft, which was the world's largest aircraft accident on July 30, 1969, for 50 years. At that time, I was staying at a ryokan in Morioka for the prefectural convention of Chuzo, and I don't remember when I knew about this accident, but there were a few helicopters over the morning Morioka city, I remember waking up at. At this time, I could not understand the fact of a collision accident in the air, no matter what it would collide with in such a wide sky. Every time I watch the news that flows at this time of year, it is an event that I remember, and I wanted to visit it someday. I also learned that there was a large-scale renovation last year and this year the name was changed from Mori no Mori to Mori no Shizuku Park. The entrance is right after entering Shizukuishi from Morioka, and from there I went up a narrow road. I parked my car in the parking lot and climbed some 550 steps up and down the steep stairs. It was a hot day in Morioka, where it was over 30 degrees Celsius, but it felt cool because it was in the woods, but when I walked for 550 steps, I sweated. There was a memorial to the memorial forest, a memorial to the memorial hall, a Jizo-san, and an aviation safety prayer tower. It seems that the memorial hall faces Shizuoka prefecture, which accounts for most of the victims. I'm glad that I was able to put my hands together when I celebrated my 50th anniversary. And I pray for the souls of the victims.

I visited at the end of April 2019. I would like to transcribe the full text of the memorial monument, express my condolences to the victims of this accident, and pray for the safety of the sky. "When: Around 2:05 pm on July 30, 1969, a peaceful and abundant rural town surrounded by green mountains, suddenly roaring in the sky of Shizukuishi, ANA Aircraft 58 Flight 727 A mid-air collision accident occurred with an F86F jet fighter belonging to the Japan Air Self-Defense Force 1st Air Corps Matsushima Dispatch Corps. On the way back from Hokkaido, the precious lives of 162 passengers were instantly scattered in the summer sky. It is said to be the biggest accident in the history of civil aviation. It is hard to describe the tragedy that surprised people in Japan and around the world. It is extremely difficult to search for the body in the midst of the mountains. Morioka, Shizukuishi-cho, Iwate Prefecture, since the disaster that sank many of these people into the abyss of fear and sorrow The city, Shizuoka Prefecture, Fuji City, related organizations, and the tearful goodwill of all the local residents and the sacrificial service full of human love will not disappear from the hearts of the bereaved families forever. " "Here, I pray that this mistake and sadness will not be repeated again, and a quiet peace will be revived in this sanctuary. I pray that the spirits in heaven will sleep forever and peacefully, and a memorial monument will be erected." July 30, 1972 All Nippon Airways Victims Bereaved Family Association

A long time ago ... I had a strange experience. At that time, the name was Memorial Forest, but I didn't know anything and got lost with her at that time. At that time, navigation was not common, I didn't look at the map, and I entered without any knowledge ... Somehow I felt uncomfortable and uneasy, and there was a guide board, so when I parked the car and looked at it, I knew where the horrific event of the aircraft accident had happened ... I felt like I shouldn't go in and tried to turn back. There is almost no sunlight in the dense trees ... It was a new car less than a month ago, but the engine does not start. No matter how many times I turn the key, if the engine does not start and I am in a hurry, I feel that the car shakes. Two people with her ... Panic with impatience and fear ... I want to run away from the spot, but the engine doesn't start. After a while, the shaking subsided and the engine started and ran away, but I was surprised when I stopped the car for a while and got off. There are countless hands behind the car ... I'm sick. A few days later, I suddenly got a job at the Morioka sales office, and when I was running in the dim light on the way back to Morioka due to dormitory procedures, something suddenly popped out and I suddenly stepped on the brakes. I remember ... I don't remember after that. When I noticed it was on the hospital bed. According to the police, the car that fell on the bank will be scrapped from the front wreck. According to the person who was running behind the person who reported it, he suddenly turned left on a straight road, overcame the sidewalk and fell to the bottom of the bank ... The brake lamp was not lit and there was nothing around. was. Certainly something should have popped out and stepped on the brakes suddenly ... but it's a strange experience. I feel that this is a place where you shouldn't go for playfulness or trying your luck. Please do not go playful in a place where you can spend a quiet and peaceful time. Please join hands and pray when you visit.
