Kamato Hongo Birthplace

High position with the improvement of the surrounding road

Original Text

It is located on the premises of a private house along the prefectural road. You can see it running by car, but it may be overlooked because it is a straight road. Due to the maintenance of the surrounding roads, it seems that "Hongo Kamato's birthplace" is also moving to a high position, and it is difficult for me, who is 154 cm tall, to read the letters. I climbed the pedestal for a while.

A longevity village, representative. Also in the Guinness Book.

Original Text

Kamato Hongo was also the longest woman in the world who also wrote in the Guinness Book of Records. That person was born. Since Shigechiyo Izumi was born and raised nearby, this area is a longevity village.

Guinness, longevity.

Original Text

It is just off Mr. Izumi's birthplace. It's not as famous as Mr. Izumi, but this one is also a long-lived person who was listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

Another longevity in the world

Original Text

Chiyo Izumi is famous for being from Tokunoshima and the longest life in the world, but this island has produced another Guinness longest life in the world. Hongo Kamato. A small monument remains on the site of the birthplace of the cherry blossoms, which lived until the age of 116. It's not particularly true, but if you visit the statue of Chiyo Izumi as a set after visiting, it must be profitable (laughs)
