Tarō (田老) village in Miyako city, Iwate prefecture, is one of the areas severely damaged by 2011 tsunami. The river mouth plain of Settai (摂待) hamlet is a place where many tsunami stones have been rolled. A huge one, which is supposed to be moved by the tsunami in 1611, lies on the edge of the wood. By the 2011 tsunami, larger stones had been moved close to that one but blasted to make use of the land for farming.
