In Kesennuma and the Karakuwa Peninsula, the "yago" given to each private house is still in daily use.
We will hold an event where you can take a leisurely walk with a local guide along a specially designed course based on the theme of the store name.
This time, we'll be focusing on the Mōne district, which suffered extensive damage from the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and has since been rebuilt.
This is also a district where the surname "Hatakeyama" is overwhelmingly common.
You can take a walk around town and hear stories directly from local residents.
