Ishinomaki: Ishinomori Manga Museum and Manga Road Harbor Town Stroll
Head to Ishinomaki, a harbor town connected to Shotaro Ishinomori, the "King of Manga." Immerse yourself in the world of Kamen Rider and Cyborg 009 at the Ishinomori Manga Museum (石ノ森萬画館) floating on a sandbank in the former Kitakami River, stroll down Manga Road lined with character statues, and enjoy a seafood lunch at Ishinomaki Genki Ichiba (いしのまき元気いちば). In the afternoon, visit Hiyoriyama Park (日和山公園) and Ishinomaki Minami-hama Tsunami Reconstruction Memorial Park to connect with the harbor town's memory and renaissance, then finish at Marubon Maki Art Terrace (マルホンまきあーとテラス) with its striking white undulating roof. If you're a group of manga-loving friends, this sacred pilgrimage stroll will keep the conversation flowing all day long.
