In Kesennuma and the Karakuwa Peninsula, the "house names" given to each private home are still used in daily life. We will be holding an event where you can take a leisurely walk with a local guide along a specially designed course themed around these house names.
This is the third time the event is being held, and the focus will be on the Nakai and Kosaba areas.
Enjoy an exciting walk along the local paths lined with Karakuwa Palaces, feeling like an adventurer!
Lunch made with local ingredients is also included.
