Enjoy the scenic ria coastline's rocky outcrops and grand Pacific panorama along a maintained promenade
About this spot
A scenic site designated as a National Natural Monument and scenic spot, located on Ofunato City's southern coast featuring a ria coastline. The coast stretches approximately 6 kilometers with diverse features—Goishibama beach filled with smooth black pebbles like go stones, and a sea cave called Raiiwa created by wave erosion. Simply walking the maintained promenade immerses you in Sanriku's grand nature, while Goishibama Cape's observation deck reveals a sweeping Pacific panorama. This rugged yet beautiful seascape offers a stark contrast to tonight's fireworks venue at Ofunato Bay—savor Sanriku's seaside grandeur here.
