Facts & Figures

Tanesashi Seaside of Hachinohe is the perfect place for hiking, surfing or having a relaxing picnic at the beach. During summertime the place can get very crowded. Tanesashi Coast is also considered as one of the nation's places of scenic beauty.

Since 2004 I have traveled nearly every year to Japan. The rail pass made my life easier to discover all those amazing places in my favorite country.
