| JODOGAHAMA Beach |
JYODOGAHAMA is "pure land beach" in Japanese |
|
|
Jodogahama beach is a scenic spot representative of the Sanriku region
(Sanriku refers to the Coast, which straddles Aomori, Iwate, and Miyagi
prefectures, and the Kitakami Mountains inland from there). Sharp, white
rhyolite rocks stand in a forest, providing a magnificent landscape. The
rocks of Jodogahama beach are said to have been formed approximately 52
million years ago. The contrast between the green of the pine trees, the
white of the rocks, and the blue of the sea truly evokes the feeling of
paradise. From April to October, only taxis and large buses are allowed
on the road from Parking Lot 1 to Oku (inner) -Jodogahama. The road is
closed at night (from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.) throughout the year. |

| Lighthause at Cape TODOGASAKI |
easternmost cape of Honshu, located |
|
|
|
Cape TODOGASAKI is the easternmost cape of Honshu, located on the OMOE
Peninsula in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture. The surrounding rocks are the
result of volcanic activity that occurred in the nearby Kitakami Mountains
about 130 million years ago, and are also a geosite of the Sanriku Geopark.
There is no road to the lighthouse, so you have to walk 3.8 kilometers
one way from the starting point, ANEYOSHI Campsite (the end of the road),
on the Michinoku Sea Breeze Trail for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. First,
you will climb to an altitude of 110 meters, and then the road is almost
flat until you reach the lighthouse. There are toilets at the campsite
and on the lighthouse grounds. Bears may appear, so you will need to bring
some protective goods. |
