The trail tour starts at a picturesque spot “Jodogahama” and lets you enjoy walking through Miyako City/Iwaizumi Town in Iwate Prefecture toward the goal of Iwaizumi Omoto Station on the Sanriku Railway while feeling the sea breeze. 

By proceeding and enjoying the outstanding views of the coastal terrace, you are introduced to the local and peaceful fishing village and the beautiful beach where the waves come and go quietly. 

The remaining buildings damaged by the earthquake here and there are passing on the memory of the disaster to people. 

The intermediate mountaineering skill and legs’ strength are required due to some steep landforms with repeated ups/downs, so-called “Ocean Alps”.
