The birthplace of transportation in three countries: Japan, Mexico, and Spain
In 1609 (Keicho 14), the San Francis, en route from the Philippines to Mexico, sank at Tajiri Beach in Onjuku Town, and local people offered help. This marked the beginning of exchanges between Japan, Mexico, and Spain in Onjuku Town. To commemorate this, the Monument Commemorating the Origin of Transportation Between Japan, Spain, and Mexico (commonly known as the Mexico Monument) was built.
