Kompira Shrine in Nemuro City 1

by Kazu

This is the northern side on the premises of Kompira Shrine in Nemuro City. The altitude of the houses and warehouses is very low.  

The port area may be vulnerable to Ohtsunami but the city has not been hit by Ohtsunami so far and I hope it will not be hit forever.

This is the statue of Mr. Kahei TAKADAYA who devoted himself to settling the conflicts between Japan and Russia, developing the eastern area of Hokkaido including Nemuro City and establishing the shrine. He contributed to the former prosperity of eastern Hokkaido.
