In the Tango region in northern Kyoto Prefecture, there is a legend that there was a mythical land that sank to the bottom of the sea due to a major earthquake in ancient times. The land was called Bonkaigo. It is said that in the first year of the Taiho era, a series of major earthquakes occurred, causing it to sink to the bottom of the sea overnight. In the area where Bonshima is said to have sunk, what appeared to be underwater ruins were discovered about 20 years ago, which became a hot topic. However, upon further investigation, mysterious facts came to light. Did Bonkaigo actually exist? Did it really sink to the bottom of the sea? Did a massive earthquake really occur? This time, we will look into these mysteries. #Kyoto #Tango #Ancient
