The beauty of the area, which is praised as “just like the Pure Land of Paradise,” was formed over a long period of time by volcanic eruptions, crustal movement, and sea water erosion. There are many attractions such as oddly shaped rocks and caves, which can be toured by sightseeing boats or small boats. In summer, it is a popular swimming spot and has been selected as one of the 100 best bathing spots by the Ministry of the Environment.
Served in a style unique to Sanriku seafood bowl
Lunch at Jodogahama Rest House
The style of preserving freshly caught sea urchins in milk bottles is common along the coast of Iwate Prefecture.
The advantage of doing so is that it is hygienic, and freshness is well preserved. This was the inspiration for the Bin-don.
Bin- don, which contain layers of seafood, are fun to look at, and you can even make your own seafood bowl easily. It is such a gem.
