Recommendations from a local perspective

My name is Wae. I run a "town pharmacy" in Kesennuma. Kesennuma has a lot of amazing seafood! The freshness and nutrition are impeccable! I would like to talk about the amazing nutritional value of Kesennuma's seafood and specialty products. That is my ambition. My hobbies are boasting about Kesennuma and grilling delicious saury. I am really looking forward to next year's NHK morning drama "Okaeri Mone" ♬

After the earthquake, I stayed in Kesennuma for three years for work, then returned to Tokyo, but I still wanted to live in Kesennuma! After much deliberation, I decided to move. Every year, many friends and acquaintances come to Kesennuma to visit, so on weekends when I'm not working, I often go around the city accompanying them... I personally enjoy experiencing different things and making new discoveries in Kesennuma. I hope to introduce the various faces of Kesennuma from both a local and an outsider's perspective, so I hope you'll enjoy it.

Born in the lush Yase area of ​​Kesennuma, her primary and junior high school commute took an hour each way along a mountain path. She loves trees and wildflowers. She is fascinated by Sayaka, the owner of the mountain. It has been almost half a century since she married into the Takeyama rice store in Uomachi, near the former ferry terminal. She is striving to remain active throughout her life. Her hobbies are gardening and bird watching.

My name is Yohei and I am a citizen writer. I was born and raised in Kesennuma, so I am a true Kesennuma resident. I usually wear a suit and work in sales, and on my days off I help out at events in the city (I want to go grill some pacific saury soon!). Kesennuma is a treasure trove of food, with seafood and mountain produce alike! That's why I love Kesennuma! By the way, my favorite view is the view from Mount Anba. I would like to share information so that as many people as possible can learn about the charms of Kesennuma!

I'm Kazumi, a citizen writer! I'm originally from Shizuoka Prefecture, but I moved to Kesennuma after getting married. The family I married into was a surf shop, so I love being in the ocean, bodyboarding, surfing, and so on. And I love eating just as much as I love the ocean! I don't know much about Kesennuma yet, so I'd love to explore it and introduce you to the charms of the ocean and the delicious food. I'm also a mother raising two small children, so I'd like to tell you about places that families can enjoy and activities that children will enjoy♪ Thank you!

Born and raised in Tokyo, she first came to Kesennuma as a student volunteer after the disaster. She was attracted by the strength of the fishermen she met for the first time in her life, and their way of life, and wanted to work alongside such cool adults! She moved there after graduating from university. She now works to support fishermen from the land while sharing a house with other women who have relocated to the Karakuwa Peninsula.

I'm a Kesennuma fan living in Tokyo. I want to do fun things.

I'm Miki, a citizen writer. I was originally an employee of Meguro Ward, Tokyo, which is a sister city of Kesennuma. I became involved with Kesennuma through work, and after the earthquake, I was sent there for short and long-term assignments, before moving to Kesennuma in 2018. In Kesennuma, I was able to meet many different people from both inside and outside the city, and my world has expanded more than when I was in Tokyo. Every day, I post about my beloved Kesennuma on social media from an outsider's perspective, and I hope to convey the charm of Kesennuma to as many people as possible, so please follow me!
