Sankyo Warehouses

The Sankyo Warehouses (山居倉庫, Sankyo sōko) is a group of early Meiji period rice warehouses in the city of Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan The buildings were designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 2021. Overview The Sankyo Warehouses were constructed in 1893 by the Sakai clan, the former daimyō of Shōnai Domain in what was then Udogawahara Village, as an auxiliary warehouse for the Sakata Rice Exchange. Designed by a local master carpenter Takahashi Kanekichi, a total of 14 structures were built. The site was originally an island (Yamaijima) in the Arata River that runs through Sakata City. It was close to a port and suitable for shipping, but the ground was weak. This problem was solved by building a 3.6-meter-high mound and stone walls, and driving 3.6-meter-long piles under the foundations. The warehouse itself sustained only minor damage in the magnitude 7.0 1894 Shōnai earthquake, the year after its completion, whereas the domain's storehouse was burned down. Zelkova trees are planted on the west side of the warehouse, which block the sunlight and protect the building from strong winter winds. The roof is a double-layered flat roof for insulation, and the interior dirt floor is made of bittern kneaded and hardened and then covered with salt, a technique that keeps the temperature and humidity inside the warehouse constant. Each warehouse is 13.6 meters wide by 29.1 meters long and had a capacity of holding 16,442 bales (60 kilograms each) of rice. There was also a wharf facing the river, and it was one of the bases for shipping on the Mogami River. In the Edo period, boats were the main method of transportation, but in the Meiji period, they were replaced by small cormorant fishing boats. A restored small cormorant fishing boat is kept on the premises. Women called Onnachomochi carried the rice bales from the warehouse to the boat. In addition, to protect the goods from the wind and rain during transportation, roofs were placed over the loading gates and wharves, and they were connected by corridors. The Sankyo Warehouses were managed and operated by the Sakai family until the 1939 Rice Distribution Control Law, when jurisdiction was transferred to the Hokutokai Foundation, the Shonai Economic Federation, and the Yamagata Prefectural Headquarters of the Japan Agricultural Cooperatives. At present, 12 buildings remain, of which nine were still in use as rice storehouses until 2022. One was renovated in 1985 as the Shonai Rice History Museum, and two were renovated in 2004 as the Sakata City Tourist and Products Center Sakata Yume no Kura, both of which are open to the public. The warehouses now form a tourist attraction, and have been used as locations for filming movies and television shows, including the NHK drama Oshin. The warehouses are about ten minutes by car from Sakata Station on the JR East Uetsu Main Line.

Hirosaki Tōshō-gū

Hirosaki Tōshō-gū (弘前東照宮) was a Shinto shrine located in Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture, Japan. History The Hirosaki Tōshō-gū was founded by the 2nd daimyō of Hirosaki Domain, Tsugaru Nobumasa, to worship the deified Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1617. It was the first Tōshō-gū to be established by a daimyō not of the Tokugawa clan. Permission to build the shrine was granted as Tsugaru Nobumasa's official wife, Manten-hime, was an adopted daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu. In 1624, the shrine was relocated to its present site, and in 1628, the present Honden was constructed. During the Edo period, due to the Shinbutsu-shūgō system, it was regarded as a Tendai sect Buddhist temple and had several subsidiary chapels and estates for its upkeep. However, with the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the separation of Buddhism from Shinto it was almost destroyed. It was revived in 1872 by efforts of local inhabitants, and in 1881 was classed as a Prefectural Shrine under the Modern system of ranked Shinto shrines. In 1953, the Irimoya-style Honden was protected by the government as an Important Cultural Property. In the early 2000s, the shrine faced severe economic difficulties due to the expansion of a wedding chapel and by 2007 was forced to cease operations and declare bankruptcy. In 2012, the Aomori District Court ordered that all of the properties of the shrine be auctioned off. In 2015, the kami of the shrine was transferred to the Kuroishi Jinja in neighboring Kuroishi, Aomori. See also List of Tōshō-gū References External links Aomori shrine association website
Okama Crater Lake

Okama (Japanese: 御釜), meaning an honourable cauldron, is the inactive volcanic crater (crater lake) on top of Mount Zaō, located in Kawasaki, Miyagi, on the border with Yamagata, Japan. While local people call it affectionately Okama, the visitors tend to call it Goshiki-numa (五色沼), meaning "Five Color Pond", because its color changes depending on the time of the day, the weather, or the season of the year. Okama Crater Lake is situated at the height of about 1600 meters above sea level. According to the 1968 survey, its east–west and north–south diameters are both 325 meters, and maximum depth is 27.6 meters. Gallery Access Okama Crater Lake can be reached from Yamagata or Miyagi, Japan on the Zaō Echo Line part of Yamagata-Miyagi Prefectural Route 12 (宮城県道・山形県道12号白石上山線).

Hotta-no-saku

The Hotta-no-saku ruins (払田柵跡, Hotta-no-saku iseki) is an archaeological site containing the ruins of a large-scale Heian period josaku-style fortified settlement located in what is now part of the municipalities of Daisen and Misato in the Tōhoku region of Japan. The site was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1931. The site is maintained as an archaeological park with some reconstructed buildings. Overview In 1902, farmers discovered the remnants of a large wooden palisade in rice paddies near the border of Misato in Akita Prefecture. Over 200 almost intact fence posts with a diameter of 30 centimeters (12 in), and a height above ground of 3.6 meters (12 ft) were discovered, most of which was subsequently burned for fuel or processed into geta wooden clogs. However, some fragments survived and were later dated by dendrochronology to the year 801 AD. An archaeological survey discovered that this palisade had dimensions of approximately 1,370 meters (4,490 ft) from east-west by 780 meters (2,560 ft) north-south, as was thus larger than Taga Castle, and was actually the largest josaku-style castle in northern Japan. Inscriptions of wooden artifacts found at the site mention Isawa Castle and Shiwa Castle which were created in the early ninth century AD; however, there is no mention of this huge fortification in any historical or literary records. In the center of the enclosure was the ruins of an inner fortification, containing the pillar foundations for what appears to be an official administrative complex. The site appears to have been abandoned by the middle of the 10th century. The site has been preserved as an archaeological park with some reconstructed buildings, and is located approximately 20 minutes by bus from the JR East Ōu Main Line Ōmagari Station.

Shin-Sendai Thermal Power Station

Shin-Sendai Thermal Power Station (新仙台火力発電所, Shin-Sendai Karyoku Hatsudensho) is an LNG-fired thermal power station operated by Tohoku Electric in Miyagino-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The facility is located on the Pacific coast near the Port of Sendai. History The Shin-Sendai Thermal Power Station was built in 1959 to supply power to the Sendai metropolis and surrounding Miyagi Prefecture. Unit 1 started operation in August 1971, followed by Unit 2 in June 1973. In 2006, Tohoku Electric announced a plan to abolish both units and to build two new high-efficiency More Advanced combined cycle (MACC) power generation facilities to reduce carbon emissions and lower operating costs. Operations were temporarily suspended due to damage caused by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. Unit 1 was already stopped for maintenance, but Unit 2 was forced to make an emergency shutdown when its turbine house was flooded by the tsunami. Unit 1 resumed full output on December 27, but a decision was reached not to repair Unit 2 and it was subsequently scrapped by the end of the year. Along with the new power generation units, a new LNG receiving facility was constructed. This facility was purpose-built to accommodate the Q-Flex series of liquefied natural gas carriers from Qatar. Unit 3-1 came on line in December 2015, followed by Unit 3–2 in July 2016. From July 18, 2017, the rated output of Unit 3 was upgraded from 980,000 kW to 1,046,000 kW due to operational experience and software modifications.
