Natureʼs bounties and wrath: A symbol of reconstruction and coexistence between people and nature Sanriku Fukko (Reconstruction) National Park was established in May 2013 to contribute to the reconstruction of the Sanriku region, which (reconstruction) was devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011. The park extends from north to south for approximately 250 km. Sanriku-Fukko The northern part, also known as the "Alps of the Ocean," features dynamic cliffs, while the southern part offers beautiful ria coasts with 05 a complex topography. The coast serves as a breeding ground for seabirds such as the black-tailed gull and streaked shearwater, and is also a habitat for a diverse collection of maritime plants that have adapted to the unique coastal environment. Visitors have countless National Park opportunities to observe wildlife up close. The park is home to some of Japan's leading fishing ports, including Hachinohe, Miyako, Kamaishi, Ofunato, and Kesennuma, and fixed nets are set on the ocean. A multitude of floating rafts for farming oysters and scallops, and buoys for farming wakame seaweed are placed in the ria coastal bay area located in the southern part of the park, offering visitors a chance to enjoy scenes of everyday life in a fishing community. The Tanesashi Coast is covered by a vast grassland that has been maintained through horse grazing and other human activities. This national park is unlike any other in Japan as it was created for the purpose of demonstrating reconstruction from a natural disaster, and people from all over the country visit this park to learn about disaster prevention. ■Access Misawa Airport Aomori Airport Hachinohe Station Aomori Prefecture Tanesashi Kaigan Station Owani JR Hachinohe Station Line Odate Ninohe Station Station Kuji Station Iwate Kitayamazaki Prefecture Sanriku Railway Akita Fudai Station Rias Line Prefecture Tohoku Shinkansen Morioka Station Miyako Station Jodogahama JR Yamada Line Hachinohe Station Ninohe Station Shin-Hanamaki Station Iwate Hanamaki Morioka Station Airport Shin-Hanamaki Station Ichinoseki Station Sendai Station JR Kamaishi Line Kamaishi Station Tokyo Station The southeast view Sakari Station from the summit of Mt.
