Reviewed By yopparai_taro - Yokohama, Japan
It's a 3-hour rental car ride from Morioka Station on the Tohoku Shinkansen. It's very far away, but it's worth a visit. I visit every year and it's interesting to see the different views depending on the weather. It is located in the Sanriku area, made famous by the Japanese TV drama "Ama-chan" that was broadcast in 2013 . I also recommend taking a ride on a cute local train from Sanriku Railway. There are several restaurants in the park where you can eat sea uni-don(urchin bowl) and ikura-don(salmon roe bowl). The food is far fresher and tastier than in Tokyo.
