| JODOGAHAMA Beach |
JYODOGAHAMA is "pure land beach" in Japanese |
31N003 |
 |
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

| Cape TODOGASAKI |
easternmost cape of Honshu, located |
31N004 |
 |
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.

GOISHI (GO Stones) Coast is located in the southern part of the SANRIKU (Sanriku refers to the Coast, which straddles Aomori, Iwate, and Miyagi prefectures, and the KITKAMI Mountains inland from there) Coast. It is a Natural Monument with its ria coastline and pebble beaches, and has been designated as a national park. The black mudstone (hornfels) that is the basis of the GO stones stretches for about 7 kilometers. There are scenic spots called the Eight Views of GOISHI, including ANATOSIISO, which has three caves, through which a boatman can skillfully navigate (operating from June to November). The GOISHI Coast Lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula is known as the "Lighthouse of Love" for the striking contrast between the white lighthouse towering in the pine forest and the blue sky. There are walking paths around the GOISHI Coast, so it's easy to walk around the spots..

| HORAIJIMA Island |
a gourd-shaped small island |
31N007 |
 |
HORAIJIMA Island is a small island in OTSUCH Bay, with a circumference
of about 200 meters , and is shaped like a gourd with two hills, one large
and one small. The smaller hill was where the OTUCHI Port Lighthouse was
located, but it collapsed from the base in the Great East Japan Earthquake
on March 11, 2011. It was rebuilt in December 2012. The design of the rebuilt
lighthouse was chosen from among the townspeople. The red light represents
the sun rising over the horizon, expressing a wish to brighten the town's
future, while the main body, which is shaped like an hourglass, expresses
a strong will to rebuild. There is BENTEN Shrine on the island, where a
statue of Benten is enshrined, and it has long been revered as the guardian
deity of abundant catches and safe navigation. Although HORAIJIMA Island
is an island, you can walk across to it from the mainland via a breakwater.
