“Ōyakaigan” Michi-no-Eki Roadside Station
This roadside station, which was devastated by the tsunami due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, had been operating as a temporary store for 10 years until it reopened in March 2021. The direct sales section offers visitors a wide selection of seafood, vegetables, and processed goods from Kesennuma City. The adjacent dining space offers a set meal made with fresh local seafood as only a port town can offer. The staff at the tourist information counter will provide information on the best seasonal tourist spots in Kesennuma City, along with dining options. Right across from the roadside station is Oya Beach, where families and friends can gather on a wide sandy beach to enjoy the sea.
The roadside station is said to be the model for a facility that appears in a certain famous animated film, and since this became a hot topic, a large number of fans have come to see the place in person.
