Located in a unique site where the tides flow east to west, the port is known throughout Japan as a place where, over the years, many people have come to wait for the tides to bring them an opportunity. One of the largest extant Edo Period lighthouses in Japan, this symbol of Tomonoura has guided mariners into port for years. At the foot of the lighthouse is a dock that resembles a stone staircase, called gangi. At meters long and with 24 steps visible at low tide, the gangi looks something like an amphitheater. The difference between high and low tide here can be as much as four meters, so the tiered dock makes it possible for ships to be loaded and unloaded at any time.
This helped turn Tomonoura into a thriving port town and major hub for goods and people.
Event Information
The stone breakwater jutting out into the sea in a gentle curve at the entrance to the port is called a hato , which, along with the lighthouse and dock, is one of the largest in Japan. There are also remains of a watchhouse where officials would keep an eye on the boats entering and leaving the port, as well as a tadeba old dock for ship repairs. Today, Tomonoura is the only port in Japan to have these five facilities, once considered essential for any early modern port.
The town has many historical structures dating back to around the Edo Period, as well as numerous quaint homes and merchant houses.
These include walls using elegant Namako-kabe harlequin patterned plasterwork designs, those using patchwork stone and others made from traditional plaster. At the end of these narrow lanes lies the wide blue sea, a happy encounter only possible in a port town.
