The sea coast was near at hand around
here in the middle of the Edo era This was
a place of scenic beauty with white sands
and blue pines and as the soughing of the
wind in the pines was heard like hail , this
site was called Arare (hail ) Matsubara (
field of pines ).The scenic beauty of the
site was recited in the Manyoshu poems but
afterwards changed its appearance because
the line of the sea coast was changed by
the renewal construction of the Yamatogawa
river and exploitation of new fields in the
Edo era . The passage running in front of
a monument is the Kishu Road , which was
running toward south from the land mark of
the eastern end of the Koraibashi bridge
(Chuo-ku , Osaka City ) to Wakayama through
the Sakaisuji avenue. This area has an vestige
of its former Road and the sign -mark around
the Road is founded and history around here
is exhibited lately .
