This what the kanji says on the Japanese sign at a park along the way to the Mutsu Bay north of Misawa Japan. The sign indicates that there was a large stone with the words "Nippon Chuo" carved into it which means central point of Japan in 1949. However, this place is not the central point in Japan. In approx 750 to 1150 AD a samurai carved the words on the stone. Apparently in this time they thought this was the central point of Japan relative to the islands in the region that are now Russian soil but were claimed as Japan back then.
