Daniel CasanuevaSo I did a bit of digging and found that the mentioned island (材木島/Zaimokujima or Timber Island) is at coordinates 38.33004, 141.06947. Now you can find it on the map.
However, the arc has collapsed since then and no longer exists.
Here's an old picture where it can still be seen, dated by the Tohoku University Archives to be from the 1910s or 1920s.

@danielcasanueva Fantastic detective work! Thanks so much for sharing this information, I totally love this. :D
@atomicker It all started when I was wondering whether I could go in person to take a picture, so I had to pinpoint the place. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible.
vga256@danielcasanueva incredible archival work - thanks for this!
@vga256 I'm glad you found it helpful!
