No, Izu is Shizuoka.

And I went to Izu in the fall and it was flat.

I think, you know, it's Japan, it's inconsistent.

Anti-tsunami shelters double as recreational spaces.

The observation deck at Terraz Orange Toi in the Toi District, standing eighteen meters above ground, provides scenic views in normal times.

But it also serves another important role, safeguarding evacuees from destructive tsunami.

"We have no choice but to live alongside the sea here, always mindful of the ever-present risk of tsunami," Seki said.

"We need to create an environment where we can immediately flee to while continuing our daily lives.

Reflected in this is a relationship of coexistence and mutual prosperity." According to Izu City, Terras Orange attracted one hundred ten thousand visitors in the first fiscal year following its opening in 2024.

The figure topped one hundred fifty thousand in the next fiscal year.
