Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore local history and coastal scenery in Watari, Miyagi. The opening aerial photograph shows Torinoumi and the Abukuma River mouth in 2013, not the hot-spring building or current recovery conditions.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Castle-like Yūrikan beside the station in 201301

A first-visit stop

Yūrikan local history museum

悠里館・郷土資料館

The castle-like building is a public complex containing a library and local history museum, not an old castle. The 2013 photograph includes the station and Yūrikan. Check museum closing days and last entry, and follow indoor photography rules.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Watari Onsen Torinoumi

わたり温泉鳥の海

This hot-spring facility stands on the coast near the entrance to Torinoumi lagoon. Consider it for a visit in this coastal area. Bathing, meals and accommodation have separate conditions; check each service’s prices and availability, and follow coastal weather and evacuation guidance.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Harakomeshi with soup photographed in 2012
A serving photographed in 2012; check the current menu and price.

Harakomeshi is Watari’s autumn speciality of rice with salmon and salmon roe. The photograph records one serving in 2012, not a current menu or price. Check the season, stock, fish, roe and seasoning ingredients; recipes differ between households and shops.
