On the southern fringe of the park near the coastline stands a vestige of Marine House Futaba, which used to be a public facility for marine activities.
The adjacent Futaba Beach was selected by the Ministry of the Environment as one of Japan’s 100 Best Beaches.
Although Marine House Futaba was struck and nearly destroyed by the tsunami, it saved lives when evacuees took shelter on its third floor.
The area is currently closed to the public.
