Map of the study area in the southern Izu Peninsula. The locations of core sites and predictions of wave heights for a Level 2 tsunami and the 1854 Ansei-Tokai tsunami are shown (after Shizuoka Prefectural Government 2013; Kitamura and Kobayashi 2014a; Kitamura and Kawate 2015). a Topographic map of central and eastern Shimoda. The base map is the Shimoda 1:25,000 topographic map published by the Geospatial Authority of Japan. b Prediction of the wave height of a Level 2 tsunami around Shimoda. c Wave heights (above mean sea level, unit: meters) of the Ansei-Tokai tsunami in Shimoda (modified from Hatori 1977). d Tsunami boulder on a wave-cut bench at Nabeta Bay. The inset shows well-preserved small barnacles on the tsunami boulder. e Topographic map of Minami-Izu and Kisami. The base map is the Mikomojima 1:25,000 topographic map published by the Geospatial Authority of Japan. f Prediction of the wave height of a Level 2 tsunami around Minami-Izu and Kisami. g Wave heights (above mean sea level, unit: meters) of the Ansei-Tokai tsunami in Minami-Izu. Modified from Hatori (1977)
