室積 (Murozumi)

Also known as: 室積・Murozumi

A town-area name in Hikari City, read Murozumi, an example of rendaku in which 積 voices to zumi. Murotsu (室津) in Kaminoseki does not voice, so one changed character changes the reading. The area is also known for Zobigasaki, which stretches from the eastern end of the Murozumi peninsula.
