Owase located on the east side of Kii Peninsula has been hit by many tsunamis. Sources of most tsunamis were off Tokaido along the Nankai Trough. The 1960 Chile tsunami that propagated across the Pacific Ocean also hit Owase City. There remain even now traces of the inundated level on many houses in Owase caused by the 1944 Tonankai and 1960 Chile tsunamis. Based on these traces, the inundation heights of the two tsunamis run-up on land were surveyed, using the automatic level from Nov. 4 to 7, 1980. The relation between the geographical distribution of the inundation heights and the damage to houses was investigated. The results of the present surveys are as follows: 1) The inundation heights of the 1944 Tonankai tsunami at the harbor were 5.0-5.5 m above M.S.L. Ground about 3.0 m above M.S.L. was inundated. The inundated area stretched along the Kita River. The water level decreased in height as it moved inland. The topography of the ground controls the damage to houses. Fifty percent of the ordinary Japanese wooden type houses were damaged when the water reached 1.5 m above the ground. From the inclination of the water surface along the Kita River, the mean water velocity is calculated as 3.5 m/sec. 2) The inundation heights of the 1960 Chile tsunami at the harbor were 3.0-3.5 m above M.S.L. Although the water reached 1.0-1.5 m above the ground, hardly any houses were washed away. The traces of the inundated level into land are nearly flat, suggesting that the velocity of the incident flow was small. 3) Based on old documents, the inundation height of the Ansei Tokai tsunami (Dec. 23, 1854) is estimated as 6.5 m above M. S. L. The heignt is 0.7-1 m higher than that of the 1944 Tonankai tsunami. Ground above 4 m high was inundated.
