It is said that the name of Kiku Port is derived from "Kikuhime," who married into the Kawamoto family, the local village head, and was the daughter of the uncle of Matsue domain lord Horio Tadaharu. Just behind Kiku Port lies a townscape, which tells of the area's former prosperity centered around the port. Today, the famous sculpture "Nami Shigure Sandogasa" by world-renowned sculptor Masayuki Nagare stands facing the rough waves of the Sea of Japan.
