Inubo-saki 2
(June 2, Choshi-shi, Chiba-ken)
Inubo means "The dog is barking".
The Minamoto-no-Yoshitsune(1159`1189) left his dog at the beach on the way to escape from his brother Minamoto-no-Yoritomo(1147`1199) to northern Japan. They said that the dog kept barking during seven days and nights to long for Yoshitsune and finally became a rock. They named this point "Inubo-saki" because the dog's voice reached here.
