[O08-P77] Relationship between tsunami arrival location and shrine distribution in Tateyama City, Chiba

Keywords:Tsunami, Shrine, Tateyama City

The tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake caused significant damage, but most shrines escaped tsunami damage. As a result, research on the relationship between shrines and tsunamis has been actively conducted since then. The research areas have mainly focused on the Tohoku region and the Nankai Trough region, with very few studies conducted in the Kanto region. Therefore, this study focused on Tateyama City in Chiba Prefecture, which did not suffer tsunami damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake but has been repeatedly affected by tsunamis in the past. We examined shrine distribution in each of the seven former municipalities, including coastal areas, created maps divided by construction period and enshrined deity, and verified the relationship with the predicted tsunami inundation zones for each past earthquake. As a result, characteristics were revealed for each of the seven districts, such as a deeper relationship with the Genroku earthquake or with temples rather than shrines in certain districts.
