Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ofunato is a city on Iwate’s Sanriku coast. Start with rocky and waterfront views along the Goishi Coast. Check weather and access with the information center, and plan separate viewpoints without assuming a short connecting walk.

This guide covers places within Ofunato, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Rock arches and sea at Anatoshi-iso in 202301

A first-visit stop

Anatoshi-iso

穴通磯

Look out at rock arches shaped by the sea. The photo shows the view in 2023. Remain within permitted viewpoints and check waves, wind and local restrictions. Confirm boat operations separately on the day.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

Waterfront rocks at Ebisu-hama in 200502

A first-visit stop

Ebisu-hama and the Goishi Coast

えびす浜・碁石海岸

A different part of the Goishi Coast. The 2005 photo shows rocks and water at Ebisu-hama, which is distinct from the black-pebble Goishi-hama beach. Choose permitted coastal paths and avoid rocks and breakwater ends.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The city’s official guide features Ofunato sanma ramen, a noodle dish with Pacific saury. Check fish, broth and noodle ingredients and availability. No restaurant endorsement, current menu, price or catch origin is guaranteed.
