A Trip to Visit the “Miracle Pine Tree” and Rikuzentakata, Currently in the Thick of Its Reconstruction Efforts [2 Days, 1 Night]

This tour offers views of both the beauty of Kurosaki Senkyo, shaped by the rias coastline, and the awe-inspiring power of the massive tsunamis generated by that same coastline. You can feel the vitality of the “new Rikuzentakata,” which is steadily recovering. Staying at a minshuku and experiencing the hot springs allow you to get a closer look at Japanese culture, making this tour highly recommended for international visitors interested in the earthquake and tsunami.
