A memorial tower for aquaculture of pearls

Original Text

About 3 minutes walk from Kashishima Station. Located in Maruyama Park. A memorial tower for Akoya shellfish used for pearl cultivation. It was built in 1957 by the National Pearl Aquaculture Fisheries Cooperative to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the invention of Maen Pearl. By the way, the shell pillars of Akoya shellfish become edible, and some of them are served at Shima's restaurant.

It is a little-known view spot that tourists rarely come to. There is a slightly steep slope, so it may be wise not to overdo it if you have bad legs. I think the view of the sea from here is good.

３ Pearls are relatively easy to get due to the achievements of people who praise the Shotoku Monument in the same park, but when I tried to make Akoya shellfish, the nucleus was put in by surgery, and when the pearl grew, the shellfish was opened and the pearl was taken. It will be served. It is a monument to memorialize the Akoya shellfish.

It is a large stone monument in a corner of Maruyama Park near Kashishima Station. It's a large stone monument that stands out in the park, so it feels like I took it as a sightseeing photo. Unlike the nearby "Maen Maju Inventor Shotoku Monument", there is no information board, so there was only an image as a "simply stone monument" locally. When I looked it up on the web, it seems that a pearl memorial service is held on October 22nd every year. Memorial service for mother shellfish sacrificed to take pearls ...

　A large stone monument stood in a small Maruyama Park near Kashishima Station. There was a lawn square in front of it, and it seemed that events could be held. On the front, it was written only as a pearl shell memorial tower, and there was no other inscription.
