Coast

Tapic 45, a white building with a beautiful pine forest in the background, was an information center for Rikuzentakata City, but it was damaged by the tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The building has been preserved as an earthquake relic to pass on the horror of the tsunami to future generations.

Hojumatsu of Kezoji Temple

This is a 20m tall Japanese black pine located within the grounds of Kezoji Temple, and its flowering habits are opposite to those of other trees. Ordinary pine trees have one or two female flowers at the tips of new branches, and the male flowers gather below, but in this pine, the female flowers gather in the center of the branches, and the male flowers appear above and below them. Therefore, it is called ``Hojumatsu'' because dozens of pine cones gather together and look like ``Hojumatsu''. Nationally designated natural monument (designated in 1933)

Kurosaki Senkyo

A typical view of the ria coastline unfolds. Part of the rock has caved in, creating a narrow channel between the sheer cliffs, which is eroded by the waves of the Pacific Ocean. Waves change the topography over many years. You can catch a glimpse of nature's creation. The nearby garden is a hidden spot for camellias.
