Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kesennuma is a coastal city in Miyagi. See rocky shores at Cape Iwai and the sea around Kesennuma Oshima Bridge. Treat these as separate destinations and check current access, weather and return services for each. Photographs show views from 2021.

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

What could you try?

Official tourism guidance features seafood including oysters. Catches, farmed produce, availability and menus vary by season and shop. Check actual origins, ingredients, allergens and preparation; this guide does not imply every seafood item is local.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
