Keywords:Michinoku Coastal Trail, Reconstruction from Great East Japan Earthquake
The long-distance nature trail that the Ministry of the Environment has developed nationwide aims to deepen the understanding of nature, history and culture, refreshment of mind and body, and nature conservation by walking on its own feet. As the tenth trail, the Tohoku Pacific coast nature trail, nicknamed "Michinoku Coastal Trail," which started maintenance in 2013, was fully opened in June 2019. It is a long distance trail stretching over 1000 km and covering 4 prefectures and 28 municipalities from Hachinohe City in Aomori Prefecture to Soma City in Fukushima Prefecture.
If you walk along this trail that connects the areas affected by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami from north to south, you will not only enjoy the spectacular scenery unique to Sanriku region and places that you can only walk to, but you will also be able to interact with the local residents you meet. You can touch the history, traditions and culture of the area and trace the memories of the earthquake. Each person walks differently, but the real pleasure of long-distance trails is to enjoy walking while staying overnight.
Here, we report on our efforts so far and future issues.
