Kurosaki Senkei

A typical view of the Rias coast unfolds. Part of the cliff has caved in, creating a narrow channel between the steep cliffs, which is being 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.

Rikuzentakata City Museum

The Rikuzentakata City Museum, which opened in 1955 as the first publicly registered museum in the Tohoku region, was completely destroyed in the Great East Japan Earthquake, and valuable materials were also devastated. Afterwards, with the cooperation of specialized organizations and local people from all over the country, many of the materials affected by the disaster were rescued and regenerated, and a new facility was established with the functions of the "Sea and Shellfish Museum," which also suffered devastating damage. It opened in November 2014. This is a comprehensive museum that conveys the nature, history, and culture of Rikuzentakata to the future along with the memories of the earthquake.

Yushan Gold Mine Ruins

Tamayama Kanayama has a long history, and it is said that the gold from this mine was used to cast the Great Buddha in Nara, as well as Chuson-ji Temple in Hiraizumi. It is large in scale, with many mine shafts, town ruins, and shrines remaining. There is also a trailhead for Mt. Hikami, where you can see the ocean, mountains, rivers, and Rikuzentakata, which is rich in nature.
