Open on Sundays and public holidays. Approximately 50 shops are on-site offering everything from seafood and processed marine products to fruits and vegetables.

Arahama Elementary School, where 320 students, teachers, and residents evacuated after the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, still retains the scars of the tsunami that swept up to the second floor. The school building has been opened to the public as ruins of the disaster in order to pass on the threat and lessons of tsunami to future generations and prevent further loss of life.

Ruins of the Great East Japan Earthquake: Sendai Arahama Elementary School is located in the Arahama area on the Pacific coastline approximately 10 km east of central Sendai. The Teizan Canal flows through the area, where once approximately 800 households and 2,200 people settled. The Arahama Elementary School was established in 1873, located about 700 m inland from the shoreline. The school had 91 students in attendance at the time of the disaster. The earthquake damaged the school building, but directly after the earthquake struck, 320 people, including students, school personnel and residents, evacuated to the rooftop and survived being stranded.
Because of this moving story, the school building was left in its damaged state as far as possible to convey to future generations the destructive threat and power of a tsunami, aided by an exhibition inside the school of photographs taken in the aftermath of the tsunami. Visitors will also learn about the history and culture of the Arahama area and discover remembrances of the elementary school. In the exhibition room on the 4th floor, visitors can watch a 17-minute video, “27 Hours Arahama Elementary School March 11, 2011,” which includes interviews and footage of the fire department helicopter from the time of the earthquake to the rescue of all evacuees 27 hours later.
Within walking distance of the school, visitors will find Kaigan Park Adventure Field, a place to have fun and learn more about the natural disaster, as well as the “Arahama Memorial Bell,” a monument built in memory of the victims of the natural disaster.Languages available: English, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Korean, Thai

This is a complex featuring a hot spring spa plus two patisseries, a bakery, Japanese and Italian restaurants, a café, farmers’ market, greenhouse, nursery school, and other facilities. It is located in the Fujitsuka area, south of Kaigan Park Adventure Field. Before the earthquake, the Fujitsuka area, located on the eastern coast of Sendai City, had a vibrant community in a tranquil rural setting, with ferry boats running to and from the Yuriage area, as well as boat transportation via the Teizan Canal across the Natori River. After the tsunami, this area could no longer as a residential district. This facility was constructed here to offer a place for local people and visitors to gather and to enjoy the attractions of food, agricultural produce, and hot springs.
The hot spring building stands on a hill overlooking the coast and houses the hot spring “Fujitsuka no Yu,” which includes a dry sauna and private bath space. The facility also includes a library café, a relaxation space, Japanese restaurant, and shop with a variety of goods related to Sendai and Miyagi. Next door is the café and marché. The market offers fruits, vegetables, and processed foods from local producers in Sendai and Miyagi, as well as from producers in other locations who maintain valuable ties with this region. The patisserie, bakery, and restaurants are supervised by renowned chefs who aim to promote local production for local consumption. Of particular note is that the hot spring facilities incorporate a system that utilizes geothermal and wastewater heat, among other technologies that contribute to a sustainable regional future.

With Natori River in front of you and Yuriage Port in the immediate vicinity, it is the perfect location to enjoy panoramic views of the Zao Mountain Range and Sendai City. The area is lined with restaurants and fresh fish markets, so you can enjoy meals using local ingredients like Shirasu-don (raw whitebait bowl) and Akagai (surf clam) sushi, as well as trying sweets, and shopping for local specialties. 

The Kanezaki Sohonten Sasakamakan is a hands-on facility where visitors can enjoy not only fish paste but also Miyagi's food and culture to the fullest, with the themes "only here you can see," "only here you can experience," and "only here you can taste.
