4.5Jodogahama Beach(260 reviews) - Paradise for Seagulls Bodies of Water • Beaches
If I was here for the first time I would have been seriously wowed. But I have walked 500 miles (literally, I'm on a walking pilgrimage from Hachinohe to Fukushima) so perhaps there are more majestic places along the Coast of Tohoku, but this is a little gem in itself. The Japanese call it the Pure Land Beach. The seagulls call this the Free Crackers Beach. When the tsunami came, the sea had receded so much the people knew to run away. The ferry area has a place where they play videos about the tsunami. If you take the ferry, they'll bring you to the Blue Cave and you can see a hole in the rocks, where water from Hachinohe flows in and try to squeeze their darndest past a hole, resulting in a spray of water that had escape their confines, like fats after a corset. The colours of the water change according to season, but the seagulls that perch on your ferry will not. They remain the same, winter, spring, summer or fall. All you have to do is call. And throw them a cracker. For the best views of the Pacific Ocean and the Coastal Area of Tohoku...follow my reviews because it's easier that way. I want you to come to Tohoku! Spend your money here and go back richer for the experience! It's a marvelous part of Japan!See more..
4.5Tanesashi Coast(190 reviews) - Varied and striking landscape meets the ocean Beaches
The Tanesashi Coastal Route is a gem. In a 10-km stretch, very walkable, you will find huge boulders, sand beaches, natural lawns, tranquil pine forests. The beauty is otherworldly and the variation in such a short distance are really unusual. Get to Same on the train and start there. If you want to walk the length, you can catch a bus or the train back. If you want to walk a specific stretch, take the scenic bus and get off at one end, picking up the return bus or the train at the other end of your walk.See more..
