Michinoku Coastal Trail Rikuzentakata Section■Hirota Peninsula Round Trip : One Day Course （Distance：Approx. 24.1km）

A narrow channel flows between towering cliffs formed when rock partially sank into the ocean, eroded over the long years by the Pacific Ocean’s rough waves. Nearby is a pretty hidden spot with camellias. On the rock beyond the cliffs lining the ravine are two giant boulders, each with a diameter of about 2 meters. Tengu (a kind of legendary creature) were said to have used these boulders for juggling.

Kurosaki Senkyo

■Wakinosawa Station to Osabe Station : Half Day Course （Distance：Approx. 9.0km）

Yonesaki is an apple-producing area close to the sea, which is unusual within Japan. The apples grown on slopes on high ground get plenty of sunlight and minerals from the sea air. Here and there along the trail course on hillsides facing the sea are apple orchards blessed with copious sunlight.

A walking path goes along the coastline of northeast Hirota Peninsula from Mutsugaura Fishing Port to Kurosaki Senkyo: enjoy gazing at the ria coastline from among the trees and seasonal plant life. Kick back for a while on the beach at the water’s edge, gazing at the rock face along the coastline and the open sea.

Koiwai Beach

6Cape Hirota sits at the tip of Hirota Peninsula, which is sandwiched between the richly endowed Hirota Bay and Ono Bay. Its scenery is like a postcard, with reefs popping up here and there among the waves and the vast open ocean beyond. From the walking paths and viewpoints, you can see Aomatsushima Island and Tsubakiji-ma Island, famous as seabird breeding grounds and designated natural monuments. Worth the small side trip from the trail course.

Cape Hirota 8Otomoura was reclaimed as farmland, but during the 2011 tsunami its breakwaters were destroyed and almost half of the land was left underwater. The plan is not to return Otomoura to farmland, but to restore it to the tidal flat that local residents once liked to go to and relax.

OtomouraKesen Carpentry, one of the four great carpentry traditions of Japan, is said to have originated in Otomo, Rikuzentakata City. You can see its techniques not only at coastal tiled roof fisherman houses and Buddhist temples but in the dragon boats floating on Oizumi-ga-ike Pond in Hiraizumi’s Motsu-ji Temple. You can see many houses built with Kesen Carpentry along the trail route in Hirota Peninsula. (Photo is of Kesen Carpenters Folklore Museum in Shimin no Mori Forest, Mt. Hakone)

14The Miracle Pine monument stands where the Takata-Matsubara forest once was. This single pine tree among the trees of Takata-Matsubara forest was the only one to withstand the 2011 tsunami. It unfortunately later died, but was preserved and restored to its original place as a symbol of recovery from the disaster.

Miracle Pine11

To relay the memories and lessons of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami to future generations, Rikuzentakata City has designated and preserved four buildings as tsunami monuments: The Settlement Promotion Housing building, Michi no Eki Takata-Mat-subara, Rikuzentakata Youth Hostel, and Kesen Middle School. Inside the Michi no Eki Takata-Matsubara grounds are a memorial facility and a recovery and city planning information center.

Tsunami Monument: Michi no Eki Takata-Matsubara (Tapic 45)

The Takata-Matsubara Pine forest, with its white sands and green pines, was a nationally designated place of scenic beauty as well as a national park, and was symbolic of Rikuzentakata City. Almost all of the approximately 70,000 pine trees were washed away in the 2011 tsunami, and the sandy beach was also lost. Work is underway to rebuild Takata-Matsubara by constructing a memorial park, replanting pines, and restoring its beach.
