Warm regional interaction × Preservation and inheritance of environmental culture × Fresh, locally produced food for local consumption

The deepest part of the Hakozaki Peninsula in Kamaishi City. The national park and the fishing village that serves as its entrance, the Hakozaki Shirahama District, are small communities with an aging population. The aquaculture industry was thriving and a number of guesthouses were operating there, but the area was hit by the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and suffered significant damage.

As marginal villages continue to suffer from depopulation and an aging population, we renovated the building of a former nursery school and started ``Mihakozaki no Yado,'' a community-style private lodging facility that is looked after by the entire community. Led by the landlady whose guest house was swept away by the tsunami, the town's residents work together to realize local production for local consumption with fresh seafood and local cuisine, providing sustainable and high-quality hospitality and warm exchanges. doing.

In addition to interacting at the inn, you can also enjoy tourism experience content that balances the use and conservation of nature and culture. By participating, you can not only help preserve the environment, but also experience fishing village culture and contribute to the local community. This is the content of 1 night and 2 days that will be realized.
