The Michinoku Shiokaze Trail is a long trail that connects the 1,000-km Pacific Ocean coast from Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture to Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture.

Its greatest attraction is the abundance of spots where visitors can experience the dynamic seascape.

Along the route, there are the most beautiful cliffs in Japan, the unique scenery of the Rias coast, the world's three major fishing grounds rich in bounty, people's lives, culture and history, natural threats, and inherited food culture, and you can also enjoy the human interaction that is created while walking along the trail.

As you continue through the overwhelming beauty of nature, swaying in the sea breeze, you will experience an unforgettable sensation.
