Gongen Falls

As you follow Kurasawa from Matsusa to Mt. Omori, a large waterfall suddenly appears. It has a drop of nearly 10 meters and is divided into three stages, creating a splash of water. This stream, which has been around for a long time in secret, looks great with the fresh greenery and autumn leaves. [Best time to see autumn leaves] Mid-October to early November

Kukai Plateau

A plateau that spreads out at the foot of Mt. Kabuto Myojin (1,005 m above sea level), which is characterized by its triangular pyramid-shaped top pointing toward the sky. The contrast between the beautiful white birch forest and the light green grassland is attractive. There are five walking courses, and it is a popular recreational area for families and groups. You can easily get in touch with nature by taking a walk while observing wildflowers or bird watching. Stop by the Kukai Kogen Walking Center at the foot of the mountain to pick up courses and information before heading out.

Baked pineapple

Seaweed from Otsuchi and Kamaishi that is only known to those in the know. Enjoy the aroma of the ocean and the crunchy texture. It is a seaweed shaped like a pine needle that is picked by hand from rocky areas along the Sanriku coast in early spring.
