Kesennuma is a vibrant port town living in harmony with the rich Sanriku sea, which is counted as one of the world's three greatest fishing grounds. The main attraction is the fish market and various gourmet spots where you can enjoy exquisite dishes made from freshly landed shark, swordfish, and skipjack tuna. The stunning views of the rias coastline are also not to be missed. The azaleas of "Mt. Tokusenjo," which dye the entire mountain red in early summer, and the peculiar rock formations of "Oogama and Hanzo," where you can hear the waves up close, are truly breathtaking. It is a place where you can experience the warmth of a city that has strongly recovered from the earthquake and the abundant blessings of the sea.
