Free Exhibition Facility Where You Can Enjoy Learning About the Sanriku Sea and Land
About this spot
A free learning facility at the entrance to Jodo-ga-hama that introduces the nature and culture of Sanriku Fukkou National Park. Inside, the center features easy-to-understand displays using models and photo panels, covering everything from how Jodo-ga-hama's white rocks formed to the plants and animals of the Sanriku Sea and the lives of people who have lived alongside the ocean. Visiting here before heading to the beach makes the rocky peaks and intertidal creatures much more meaningful. Many exhibits are engaging for children, and it's also a reliable refuge on rainy or hot days. An excellent companion for families visiting the beach.
Tips
Admission is free. Located adjacent to the Jodo-ga-hama parking area, making it easy to stop by before or after your beach visit. Restrooms and vending machines are available. Check opening days and hours in advance if you want to ensure a visit.
Best time to visit
Approximately 45 minutes. Visiting before the beach walk changes how you perceive the scenery afterward
