Visit the Sanriku Coast, witness and witness how landscape processes
intertwine with the local lifestyle, culture and cuisine. Its ferocious
nature created exquisite coastal landscapes and dramatic cliffs not seen
elsewhere in Japan. A unique cultural identity and a rich food culture
built on the sea and its treasures fluorished.
Excellent seafood breakfast at the morning market by the wharf,
beautiful natural grassland by the sea, dramatic 200m high
cliffs stretching along the coastline as far as the eye can see.
Enjoy unique local cuisine and sceneries that only the
Northern Sanriku region can offer.
Catch the "Ama" (traditional female freedivers) in action
bearing delicious sea urchins and abalones from the sea, marvel
at the 200m high Kitayamazaki cliffs, the mysterious white rocks
of Jodogahama, serene Ria coastal inlet of Yamada Bay and
enjoy the excellent oysters, abalone, scallops and other
aquaculture products of this region.
This region bore the worst brunt of the 2011 Tsunami but it
also hosts the rugged Goishi Coast and its beautiful walking trail,
the Karakuwa Peninsula and the Kesennuma Oshima Island.
Find your inner fisherman (woman!), join local ecotours and
experience activities while aiding in the recovery of the
local fishery community.
