神秘の鯛
The mysterious sea bream
神秘の鯛と言われる理由、それは鎌倉時代・日蓮聖人ご生誕の際の不思議な出来事の一つだからです。また鯛の浦の鯛はなぜ浅い海に生息しているのか。学術的にも未だ解明されていない不思議さ!世界でここだけしか見ることができない国の特別天然記念物(魚類)は鯛の浦の「鯛」だけです。

日本で特別天然記念物(魚類)は「鯛の浦の鯛」だけ、学術的にも大変貴重なマダイです。近海の浅瀬に生息しているだけでなく、餌をまくと水面に現れるのは大変珍しく世界的に見てもマダイがこのような行動するのは鯛の浦の鯛だけでしょう。また水温や波の状況により、マダイが現れない時もあります。それは、囲みのある生簀ではなく大海原と繋がっている海に生息しているからです。だからこそ、餌をまくだけで大海原でまるで生簀を見ているような錯覚さえする驚きの光景は見る人に大自然の不思議さを感じさせてくれる事でしょう。いつでも見れる事が出来ない鯛だからこそ人は感動をするのでしょう。

特別天然記念物
鯛の浦タイ生息地
大正十一年三月八日指定
昭和四十二年十二月二十七日昇格 内浦湾内、誕生寺前の渡船場から東南方へ船で五分ぐらいの海域で、伊貝島 弁天島などの近辺に多数のタイが群生するので、このあたりを「妙の浦」と呼んでいる。
ここに集まるタイ類は、大部分がマダイで、ほかにクロダイ、メジナ、イスズミなどが混じっている。マダイは、深さ三〇〜一五〇メートルぐらいの海中に生息し、普通はその中層あたりを泳いでいるて定着性の近海魚である。しかし鯛の浦は、一〇〜三〇メートルの浅瀬でしかも限られた狭い海域に生息し、人間の投与する餌(魚の切身など)をよく食べるのは、ほかに見られない現象である。
日蓮聖人が誕生した古来殺生禁断の聖地であり観光船の船ばたをたたくと海底から姿を浮上させあらそって餌をもとめるのは不思議なことといわれている。

通常の鯛の生息地‥‥水深約30mから、150mまでの海底が岩や砂利のところ
The typical habitat for sea breams is the seabed, ranging from
about 30 meters to 150 meters deep, consisting of rocks and gravel.
鯛の浦の鯛が不思議な理由
Why Tainoura’s sea bream is so mysterious
通常の鯛は、定着性の近海魚です。水深約30mから、150mまでの、海底が岩や砂利のところにすんでおり水温8度以下の海にはすんでいません。また、マダイは小回遊の習性があり、群れをなさないといわれています。通常の鯛と違い、鯛の浦の鯛は年中、一定海中に群れをなしてすんでいます。
鯛の浦の鯛が年間を通じて船べりをたたく音を聞くと水面近く群れをなして出現し、与えられた餌を食べるという事は、非常に珍しいことなのです。鯛の浦の現象は、科学的には完全に解明されていません。その習性が珍しいので、「鯛の浦のタイ生息地」として指定を受け保護されているのです。日本でこのような習性を持つ鯛が鯛の浦だけに生息しているのは、鯛の浦周辺に住む人々の遠い昔から続いてきた信仰の歴史と、素朴な鯛保護の精神が生きているからなのです。

日蓮聖人は、貞応元年(1222)2月16日、小湊片海の地に降誕しました。
「日蓮聖人誕生の際の不思議な出来事」 その時、庭先から泉が湧き出し産湯に使った「誕生水」、 時ならぬ時に浜辺に青蓮華が咲いた「蓮華ケ渕」、 海面に大小の鯛の群れが集まった「妙の浦」という不思議な「三奇端」が伝えられています。まさしくこの時の鯛の群れが「神秘の鯛」 の初まりだったのです。
聖人は幼名を善日麿といい、11歳の時に、勉学のために清澄寺へ登り、自ら感得した釈尊の真意を世に顕わすため布教を開始されました。その後、日蓮聖人は、「立正安国論」を唱え、幾多の逆境にあいながらも生涯、法華経を様々な形で世に広めていきました。
鎌倉時代に日蓮聖人がご降誕されて平成33年で800年になります。鯛の浦の鯛も永い年月に渡り、妙の浦の地に住み続けています。

「鯛の浦」と「妙の浦」
2つの名前になったわけ
明応・元禄の二大津波によっていちじるしい変化をとげた当地の奇岩、奇島、名眉な風景、不可思議な現象の鯛の浦等に、日蓮宗門の一高僧が、聖人の主唱された妙法蓮華経の五字を配し妙の浦、法が台、蓮華が淵、経巻掘と名づけました。鯛の出現するこの“鯛の浦”は、ほぼ発音が同じなので、妙の浦と名づけられたといわれています。住民はこの命名以後、この浦を“妙の浦”と呼び親しんできたのですが、観光的な名声は“鯛の浦”のほうが高く、特別天然記念物指定での名称も文化庁は“鯛の浦”としております。観光的名称は“鯛の浦”地名的名称は“妙の浦”とご理解いただきたいと存じます。

Tinshu-kominato is the birthplace of the Saint Nichiren. The "Tai of Tai-no-ura" is one of the miraculous events that occurred when Saint Nichiren was born. Since the Kamakura period, villagers have revered and protected Tai as the "incarnation of Saint Nichiren". Despite the numerous difficulties, the "mysterious Tai" continues to inhabit Tai-no-ura, even though it is a species that only resides in the deep sea. Tai is seen only in Tai-no-ura, making it the only place in the world where you can see Tai in the open ocean. You may be surprised and moved by this mysterious experience, and perhaps luck will come your way.
× From the Ta no Ura sightseeing boat, you can visit the Da Benten and Ko Benten, both designated as national parks. These shrines are dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of water. Ko Benten has a torii gate on the land side, while Da Benten has one on the sea side. You can visit Ko Benten by walking along the promenade from the land, while Da Benten can be accessed by taking the Ta no Ura sightseeing boat from the sea side. It is said that by visiting both shrines, you can receive various blessings. By taking the Ta no Ura sightseeing boat, paying respects to the deities, and catching a glimpse of the sea bream, you may experience wonderful fortune.
× Benzaiten is the only female deity among the Seven Lucky Gods, often depicted playing the biwa (a traditional Japanese lute). She is believed to bestow various blessings, including success in music, arts, academics, financial fortune, and beauty. The character "財" (zai) in her name suggests her association with wealth, leading to her popular association with improving financial luck and business prosperity. Additionally, she is believed to offer blessings related to traffic safety, romantic fulfillment, fertility, skill enhancement, and longevity. Benzaiten is considered a versatile deity, granting a wide range of benefits in this world.
× In Japan, the "Tai of Tairaura" is the only Special Natural Monument (Fish) and represents the highly valuable red seabream, scientifically known as Madai. Not only is it found in the nearby seas, but its behavior of appearing on the water surface when food is scattered is extremely rare worldwide, a behavior observed only in the red seabream of Tairaura. Additionally, depending on factors such as water temperature and wave conditions, there are times when the red seabream does not appear. This is because it resides in the open sea, connected to the vast ocean rather than being confined to a fish pen. Therefore, the sight of red seabream gathering as if in a fish pen simply by scattering food is a remarkable phenomenon that evokes a sense of wonder at the mysteries of nature. The fact that the red seabream cannot be seen at any time makes people even more impressed and moved by its presence.
×Special Natural Monument
Red Seabream Habitat of Tairaura
Designated on March 8th, 1922
Promoted on December 27th, 1967 In the area around the islands of Iwai and Benten, about a five-minute boat ride southeast from the ferry terminal in front of Tanjo-ji Temple in Uchura Bay, there is a concentration of tai (sea bream), earning this area the name "Myo no Ura." Most of the tai found here are red sea bream, with other species such as black sea bream, yellowback seabream, and Japanese horse mackerel also present. Red sea bream typically inhabit depths of 30 to 150 meters and are known as nearshore fish with some degree of habitat fidelity, often swimming in the midwater layer. However, in Tainoura, they inhabit shallow waters of 10 to 30 meters in a limited area. It is a unique phenomenon that they readily consume bait provided by humans, such as fish fillets. Legend has it that it is mysterious how they emerge from the seabed and compete for bait when tourist boats arrive, considering that this is a sacred site where the taking of life has been prohibited since ancient times, and it is believed to be the birthplace of Nichiren Shonin.

Kamogawa City Board of Education × The usual sea bream is a sedentary deep-sea fish. It lives in seabeds with a depth of about 30 meters to 150 meters, where there are rocks and gravel, and it does not inhabit seas with temperatures below 8 degrees Celsius. Also, sea breams are deep-sea fish with small migratory habits and are said not to form schools. Unlike ordinary sea breams, the sea breams in Tainoura live in groups in a certain area all year round.
It is very rare for sea breams in Tainoura to appear in groups near the surface of the water and eat the provided bait when you hear the sound of tapping on the stern throughout the year. The phenomenon of Tainoura is not fully understood scientifically. Because of its unusual behavior, it is designated and protected as the "Tainoura Sea Bream Habitat." Sea breams with such behavior live only in Tainoura in Japan due to the longstanding history of faith among the people living around Tainoura and their simple spirit of sea bream protection.
× To be designated as a Special Natural Monument: Under Article 109, Paragraph 2 of the Cultural Properties Protection Law, natural monuments of exceptional worldwide or national value are specially designated as Special Natural Monuments.
× Nichiren Saint was born on February 16th, 1222, in the area of Kotominaoshi in Kosode no Kuni.
"The Mysterious Events Surrounding the Birth of Nichiren Saint" At that time, a spring gushed from the garden, which was used for the baby's first bath as "Birth Water." In an untimely manner, blue lotus flowers bloomed on the beach, known as "Ren'ge no Fuchi," and a school of large and small sea bream gathered on the sea surface, known as "Myo no Ura," creating the mysterious "Three Wonders." It was indeed at this time that the school of sea bream marked the beginning of the "Mysterious Sea Bream."
The saint's childhood name was Zennichimaro, and at the age of 11, he climbed Mount Kiyosumi to study, beginning his missionary work to reveal the true meaning of Shakuson that he had realized. Subsequently, Nichiren Saint advocated the "Rissho Ankoku Ron" and, despite numerous adversities, spent his life spreading the teachings of the Lotus Sutra in various forms.
In the Kamakura period, Nichiren Saint was born, and it has been 800 years since then in the

At the age of 12, Nichiren Shonin pursued his studies on this mountain and was ordained at the age of 16 in front of the Bodhisattva Kokuzo for training.
× The renowned landscape of this area, with its peculiar rocks, islands, and picturesque scenery, including the mysterious phenomenon of Tainoura, underwent significant changes due to the two major tsunamis during the Meio and Genroku eras. In response to this, a distinguished monk of the Nichiren sect adorned the area with the five characters from the Lotus Sutra, which was advocated by the saint: "妙" (myou) for "Myounoura," "法" (hou) for "Hounodai," "蓮華" (renge) for "Renkafuchi," and "経巻" (kyoukan) for "Kyokanbori." It is said that since "鯛" (tai), which means "sea bream," sounds similar to "妙" (myou), the area where sea bream appear was named "Tainoura." Although the residents have affectionately referred to the area as "Myounoura" since its naming, its tourist reputation is higher under the name "Tainoura," and even the official designation as a special natural monument by the Agency for Cultural Affairs is under the name "Tainoura." We hope this clarifies that while it is known as "Tainoura" for tourism, its local name remains "Myounoura."
