Soma: A Sea-Breeze Drive to Matsukawaura and Hama-no-Eki
A seaside driving course running from the castle town of Soma to the lagoon of Matsukawaura, feeling the sea breeze along the way. In the morning, visit Soma Nakamura Shrine, connected to the Soma Nomaoi festival, and stroll around Baryo Park on the former site of Nakamura Castle. Once you reach the coast, enjoy a seafood lunch of Joban-mono and souvenir shopping at Hama-no-Eki Matsukawaura. In the afternoon, take a relaxed lakeside walk at Matsukawaura Environmental Park, and finish by driving the Osu-Matsukawa Line to Unoosaki Lighthouse for a sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean and Matsukawaura. Seaside roads, spectacular views, and great food make this a perfect day for couples who enjoy driving.
