## Watch-outs

The Sanriku coast was badly hit by the 2011 tsunami, and recovery work is still visible. Check local information and respect the memorials.

## Miyako City

Miyako is a fishing city in Iwate Prefecture, with a harbour and a fish market. The city is working to rebuild its waterfront.

## Sanriku coast
