Deep city walk with a museum curator

Kesennuma Town Walking Tour "Numa Sanpo" October/November

"Numa Sanpo" is an activity tour that takes you on a walk around the city from the inner bay to the area around City Hall, which is packed with history and culture. You will take a walk of about 2 km while listening to a guide from a museum curator.

We will explain everything about Kesennuma's geological, historical and cultural attractions and how to enjoy it, which you won't find in ordinary tourist guides, while comparing old photos and maps with the current scenery. If you join us, we're sure you'll be more satisfied with your Kesennuma trip! We'll also stop at a local shop for a cafe break along the way. We look forward to your participation ♪

Point!
A wide range of information will be explained, from the basics to more niche topics, so this tour is recommended for both first-time visitors to Kesennuma and those who already know the area well.
[Guide] Chief Curator of the Rias Ark Museum of Art
Masamitsu Kayaoka was born in 1990 in Fukui Prefecture. After working as a cultural property investigator for Morioka City, he is currently a curator of historical and folklore materials at the Rias Ark Museum of Art. His purpose in life is to walk around the town and find old things, and to listen to old stories from the local elderly. He is often found staring intently at buildings, roads, and stones in the grass in the town, but he is not a suspicious person.
