Akato Yamabe wrote a poem about Wakanoura, saying, ``If the tide comes to Wakanoura, the lagoon will be empty, and the reeds will cross without cranes.'' Famous as a beach, this area has a fountain plaza, a Japanese garden, and a Manyo path lined with monuments, allowing you to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in history and culture. There is also a play area lined with wooden play equipment, making it a perfect spot for families. This is a place where you can touch the hearts of Manyo poets and spend a moment as a historical traveler.
