3.Flood Gates
There was great damage from high flood tides during Typhoon Jane and the Muroto No.2 Typhoon. Because of this, the Ajigawa River flood gate and the Shirinashigawa River flood gate were build in 1970, modeled on the flood gates on Holland's River Lek, to prevent flood tides from breaking through during typhoons.

The “Ichioka Shinden Kaisho Ato” monument in Namiyoke Park was erected by the owner of the land in memory of the office of this rice paddy.
