Kitayamasaki, located in Tanohata Village, Iwate Prefecture, is the premier scenic spot on the Sanriku Coast, where cliffs reaching $200text{ meters}$ in height stretch for about $8text{ km}$.The way to enjoy this dynamic coastline up close from the sea is through the "Sappa Boat Adventures," which utilizes local small fishing boats. Guided by the boatman, the experience is full of thrill and power—you navigate through sea caves (kaishokudō) at the base of the cliffs and experience powerful waves.You can enjoy the stunning view from zero meters above sea level and experience fishing culture, which offers a completely different perspective than the view from the observatory.
