Kamaishi: Great Kannon and Iron Town Harbor Stroll

Start your journey with a sweeping view of Kamaishi Bay from the 48.5-meter-tall white Kamaishi Daikannon. Visit the Museum of Iron History to learn about the city's pride as the birthplace of modern iron smelting and its connection to the UNESCO-listed Hashino Iron Mine. Enjoy a Sanriku seafood lunch at the harbor-side UOGASHI Terrace. In the afternoon, travel to Unosummai to learn the lessons of the Great East Japan Earthquake at the Inochi wo Tsunagu Mirai-kan, then finish at the Kamaishi Unosummai Fukkou Stadium, which hosted the Rugby World Cup. This full-day course through a town where the legend of "Japan's Iron Man" still lives—perfect for groups of friends who love sports and history—weaves together the stories of iron and rugby.
