Stupidity is an elemental force for which no
earthquake is a match.

Kinkasan ( Kinkasan, or Kinkazan) is a small
sacred island in Miyagi Prefecture in north-eastern
Japan. It is considered one of the Three Holiest
Places of the Thoku region, along with Dewa
Sanzan and Osorezan. It lies in the Pacific Ocean
off the Oshika Peninsula.
There is a Shinto shrine in the island, called
Koganeyama Shrine which is devoted to the gods
of wealth, Ebisu and Daikoku. Women were
previously not allowed on the island. It is
traditionally said that if you pay a visit to this
shrine once a year for three consecutive years,
you will have no financial difficulties for the rest
of your life.

Kinkasan is 9.5 km2 (3.7 sq mi) in area, and its
highest point is the pyramid-shaped Mount Kinka,
which stands at 445 m (1,460 ft). It has a human
population of a few dozen, mostly people
connected with the shrine or the handful of shops
around the harbour, and is home to a number of
deer and Japanese Macaque (monkeys).
Kinkasan was hit by the 2011 Thoku earthquake
and tsunami, the island being one of the closest
pieces of land to the epicenter at approximately
68 km (42 mi) away; only one or two minor islands
are slightly closer.
