Unosato Exchange Hall (鵜の郷交流館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A facility developed as a community hub for the Unosumai (鵜住居) district, housing eateries that use local seafood. Sanriku (三陸) specialities such as seafood rice bowls and set meals give the whole family plenty to choose from, ideal for a solid meal before your swim. A shop selling regional specialities is attached, so calling in after your meal is also recommended. It is a warm, welcoming rest stop where locals and visitors gather side by side.

Tips

Within walking distance of Kamaishi Unosumai Memorial Stadium (釜石鵜住居復興スタジアム). It can be busy at lunchtime during the summer holidays, so arriving around 12:00 keeps things smooth. Take on plenty of nourishment, but take care not to overeat before swimming.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. The 12:00 hour before your swim is just the right timing
