I took a morning stroll in the coastal town that Miyagi boasts about “Onagawa”

The town of Onagawa, in the Oshikagun section of the Miyagi prefecture, is a coastal town near the Pacific Ocean that is around 70km east of Sendai.

Unfortunately the town received a lot of damage due to an earthquake disaster, but thanks to the strength of all the people within the town, right now it’s been rebuilt and is brand new and attracts people from all around country. It Is popular even inside of Miyagi.

The secret to that success has to be the fresh and abundant amount of marine products.
Boasting the largest amount of Pacific saury across the entire country, as well as oyster, scallops and salmon, it is a marine product warehouse!!

During todays article, I will be reporting on my morning stroll down the town that Miyagi enjoys boasting about, Onagawa.
