Sannoiwa

A fantastically-shaped rock that boasts to be the most spectacular in the Sanriku coastal area at a height of 50m, it has continued to endure 100 million years of wind and snow

Centering upon the 50m-high Male Rock, it, along with the Female Rock and the Taiko Rock, comprise a grand picturesque beauty. It has even withstood the 2011 earthquake and its calm countenance in the sea is incredible.

Price

Due to the effects of the earthquake, part of the walking trail around Sannoiwa remains closed so please be aware that the washrooms within the area cannot be used (as of 2015)
