Goura - Izura

Japanese: 五浦 - いづら
Goura - Izura

Located in Otsu Town, Kitaibaraki City, Ibaraki Prefecture, this scenic coastal area features cliffs and inlets formed by the spurs of the Abukuma Plateau jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. It is called Goura because there are five W-shaped inlets. In 1906 (Meiji 39), Okakura Tenshin moved the Japan Art Institute here with his students, including Yokoyama Taikan, and the remains, including the hexagonal, vermilion-painted Hexagonal Hall (washed away in the Great East Japan Earthquake, rebuilt in 2012), are now the Ibaraki University Goura Art and Culture Research Institute. The Prefectural Tenshin Memorial Goura Museum of Art opened in 1997 (Heisei 9). It is part of Hanazono Hanananuki Prefectural Natural Park. It is a 15-minute bus ride from Otsuko Station on the JR Joban Line.
