Located at the tip of the Hakozaki Peninsula, you can see Yamada Bay from Otsuchi Bay to the north, and Kamaishi Bay from Sankanjima to the south. On the south side is Senjojiki, which is made up of gigantic, strangely shaped granite rocks. It is a walking course with information boards.

Hokan Shrine

It is said that Yoshitsune and his servants, who escaped from Hiraizumi, rested at this Takarahama beach along the Torijugawa River. Hokan Shrine was built by the ancestors of this area and was named ``Hokan Okami'' in honor of Yoshitsune. The shrine was burnt down in 1899, and a stone shrine now stands.

Wasan Plateau

Located in the northwest of the city, it is a plateau with an altitude of 800 meters and an area of ​​approximately 1,500 hectares, where you can enjoy a rich variety of scenery including magnificent fields, ranches, and valleys. The wetlands are home to rare flora and fauna, and in spring, water cabbage grows in clumps. In 1974, the ``Through Green Line'' drive course connecting Niiyama Ranch, Wayama Ranch, and Sadato Ranch was constructed. Currently, the Kamaishi wide-area wind power generation project is being developed, and 43 large wind turbines have been installed.
