Takeshima island and the Seaside literary memorial museum in Gamagori City

I would like to inform Takeshima island, Seaside Literary Memorial Museum in Gamagori City Aichi Pref.


Take the JR Tokaido line from Nagoya Station and arrive at Gamagori Station in about 40 minutes.
On the south side of the station, there is a yacht in yacht racing "America's Cup".

As you head towards the ocean you will see "Sea Science Museum of Life" on your right.

This museum introduce the history of the earth and living things by touching meteorites and fossils.

Takeshima will be visible as you walk east along the coast.

There is a park on the north side of Takeshima, "the statue of Shunzei Fujiwara" who ruled this land during the Heian period, stands facing Takeshima.

To Takeshima, a splendid bridge is on the sea like Enoshima, and you can walk across.

Seagulls are flying around the bridge in flocks.

Below the bridge is the tidal ebb and it becomes a sandy beach at low tide, and it is crowded with cliff hunt in the summer.
I arrive at Takeshima, head towards the Yaotomi Shrine at the top of the island and climb the stone steps.


When visiting Yaotomi Shrine and going further, I arrive at the southern tip of the island.

From here you can look over the majestic view of the Pacific Ocean.

From the southern end, walk back to the bridge walking on the sidewalk around the island.


Go back to the bridge and head towards the " Seaside Literary Memorial Museum".

This museum was rebuilt the cooking ryokan and exhibits works of writers from Gamagori City.




Because of no charge for entering, there are many visitors.
Please appreciate literary works and see a wonderful sight of Takeshima from the Japanese style room.
The surrounding of this memorial museum is a Japanese garden and you can also take a break on the bench.

In Gamagori, there are also Gamagori Classic Hotel, Gamagori Onsen and Mitani Onsen.
Let’s enjoy the sea and Gamagori history.
That’s it.
