Cenotaph of Turkish Warship Distress

Travel / Tourism

Wakayama Pref. Higashimurogunkushimotochou Kashino

This memorial is dedicated to victims of the frigate Ertugrul that was shipwrecked in 1890. It's located near the Kashinozaki Lighthouse on Kii Oshima Island at the southern tip of the Kii Peninsula. The Turkish Memorial Hall that holds a memorial service every five years is also at the site. It recalls the sinking of the Ottoman Empire's frigate Ertugrul in the ocean to the east of Kashinozaki Cape that took over 500 lives. The residents of Oshima Village (in modern Kushimoto-cho) helped the survivors and provided them with care. As the former Ottoman Empire was based in modern Turkey, the incident became a cornerstone of Japanese-Turkish friendship.

Wakayama Areas

Wakayama prefecture unites pilgrims, food lovers, and culture buffs in a tranquil corner of Japan at the base of the Kii Peninsula. The setting for many a Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail, Wakayama invites those in search of spirituality from one side of the prefecture to the other, from the 100-plus Buddhist temples of the sacred Mount Koya in the west to the inspiring temples of the Kumano Sanzan set among breathtaking nature in the east. Once the grueling hike is complete, make a beeline for Wakayama city to savor some of the country’s most delicious ramen noodles.
