A fisherman town of scenic beauty famed by the Manyo-shu.

 Kinokuni no Saika no urani idemireba amano tomoshibi namino mayumiyu

When I go out to the bay of Wakano-ura, I can see the night being lit up by the fishermen, and the fire on the boats to lure out the fish is dancing and rippling among the waves.
