*''Japanese'': 鞆の浦 ''(Tomonoura)''

Tomonoura is a harbor in modern-day Fukuyama City, [[Hiroshima prefecture]], which historically was a significant [[Inland Sea]] port.

A temple near the harbor called Komatsuji (小松寺) is home to the grave of Yoseyama Peechin, <!--与世山親雲上朝易(向道亨)--> a musician and member of the [[1790]] [[Ryukyuan embassy]], who died on the way to [[Edo]] on 10/13 in that year. A plaque or piece of calligraphy was later donated to the temple in his memory, by Yoseyama's grandfather, Fukuyama ''[[ueekata]]'' Chôki<!--譜久山親方朝紀-->
