Abundant Sea Part 2: Sanriku Coast
The Sanriku Coast of northeastern Japan is a beautiful area with stunning scenery. It was devastated by the great earthquake and tsunami of March 2011. But life is gradually returning to normal and people are rebuilding their communities and their lives. On this edition of Journeys in Japan, JJ returns to visit another stretch of the Sanriku Coast. His first destination is the Kita-Yamazaki Cliffs in Iwate Prefecture, the most spectacular section of this scenic coastline. He is taken out on a boat by a local fisherman to observe the cliffs close-up, from the sea. Next, JJ takes the train further north on the Sanriku Railway. He travels in a special car that has seats warmed by kotatsu under-table heaters. In Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, JJ stays at a family-run inn that is famous for the quality of its food. He samples plenty of local seafood. He also meets with people living in this area, to find out more about their lives, and the fertile ocean that has always supported them.
