About the WakuWaku Operation 2023 Silver Week

What are the Kesennuma Machinaka Area Platform, Area Vision, and Design Conference?
In March 2023, the Kesennuma Machinaka Area Vision was formulated, which outlines the future of the area around the site of the relocated city hall and the area around the inland bay. The aim is to create an area that people from outside the area will want to visit, and an area that is full of challenges and excitement. In the fall of 3, a social experiment called Wakuwaku Daisakusen 2022 was carried out to verify business viability and operation methods, and a second social experiment called Wakuwaku Daisakusen 2022 is being carried out this year in 2023.

Shinmeizaki Project

Shinmeizaki has been watching over the inner bay area and the sea since ancient times, and has historical, geographical and cultural characteristics. Various activities have been started to pass these on to the next generation. As a pioneer of this, a cafe called "Isuzu Sabo" designed using old materials from the shrine and other areas will open in the office of Isuzu Shrine on the 24th for weekends only (until New Year (planned))! Trees in the shrine grounds have been pruned so that you can enjoy the view of the inner bay and Kanae Bridge, and benches have been installed for comfortable relaxation. Why not take a break at Shinmeizaki while feeling the western wind and thinking about history? (Ebisu Dorayaki (100 pieces) only on weekends, two types of coffee, roasted green tea and apple juice drinks are planned.)

Date and Time: Sunday, September 9th 24:11-00:16 Open on weekends only until New Year's Day

Creating a space for citizen activities

Currently, the public and private sectors are working together to create rules and consider operational methods to make it easier to use the area around the Inner Bay area as a place for various citizen activities. This time, with the cooperation of private facilities, we have organized the facilities and spaces in the Inner Bay area that citizens can use for various activities and events. Activities can be carried out in distinctive spaces, such as the charm of cultural assets unique to the Inner Bay area and views of the sea. We have set up consultation desks for the use of each facility, so please feel free to contact us.
