| KOSODE Beach |
known as the northernmost limit of AMA (female divers) |
33N001 |
 |
The Kosode Coast is thought to have formed from the solidification of magma
during the Cretaceous Period, when dinosaurs flourished, and the complex
rocky terrain we see today was eroded by the waves of the Pacific Ocean
over a long period of time. The scenery, which combines the coastal terrace
cliffs, granite reefs, sea caves, and natural vegetation, attracts tourists.
In particular, the reef called TSURIGANE Cave allows the light of the rising
sun to pass through a hole only for about three weeks around the summer
solstice in June every year. This area is known as the northernmost limit
of AMA (female divers), who catch sea urchins, abalone, and other fish
by skin diving. The existence of the "northernmost female divers"
became famous after it was once the setting for a popular TV drama, and
now it has become one of the tourist attractions of the City, with the
"Northernmost Female Divers Festival" held on the first Sunday
of August as an annual event.

| KUJI Amber Museum |
the only museum specializing in amber in Japan |
33S002 |
 |
The KUJI AMBER MUSEUM is located in the suburbs of Kuji City, where amber
mining has been carried out since ancient times, and is the only museum
in Japan that specializes in amber. Kuji is known as the largest amber
producing area in Japan. The amber from the KUJI area is from the late
Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era, about 85 to 90 million years ago,
making it the oldest amber used in jewelry and other products in the world.
The museum consists of a new building, a main building, a shop, a workshop,
a restaurant, and a "Lithuanian Pavilion." Amber from all over
the world is exhibited and sold in the shop. As an outdoor facility, a
part of the actual mining tunnel that was used for amber mining until the
Taisho era is open to the public. There is also an "Amber Mining Experience
Site" next to the museum, where you can actually carve into Cretaceous
strata under the guidance of staff

| JOBOUJI Lacquer |
the largest place of lacquer production in Japan |
33S003 |
 |
JOBOUJI Lacquer is raw lacquer collected from lacquer trees in Iwate Prefecture and neighboring prefectures by lacquer tapping craftsmen who are based in JOBOUJI town, Ninohe City. More than 98% of the lacquer used in Japan is produced in China, where it is inexpensive, but JOBOUJI Lacquer is the most produced in Japan (about 70% of domestic production), and most of it is used to restore cultural properties such as temples and shrines. General domestic "Sakari-urushi (high-quality raw lacquer taken from lacquer trees between mid-July and early September)" contains 70 to 75 percent Urushiol (Urushiol is an oily mixture of organic compounds with allergenic properties), 20 to 25 percent water, and a few percent rubber and nitrogen-containing substances. JOBOUJI Lacquer has a high Urushiol content and is of high quality.
