Jōgan tsunami warning tablet
Jōgan tsunami warning tablet submitted by Aska : Site in Honshū Japan The old and new tablets. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Modern Stone in Honshū

Although the inscription was worn out, this stone is believed as the tsunami warning tablet built after the great earthquake and subsequent tsunami occured in 869AD during Jōgan period (859-877) when Mt.Fuji also erupted.
The name of place of this site "Futatsu-bashi (二ツ橋=2 bridges)" is suspected to mean the crossing point of the rising waves from opposite directions. So the islanders of Miyato-jima island, who believed in the folklore on this tablet, could evacuate to higher place than this stone and were secured from 2011 tsunami. Then they built another tablet in acknowledge of their ancestors' advice beside the old one.
