Who This Tour Is For:

Travelers who enjoy scenic landscapes, ocean views, and walking in natural parks.
Mature guests with an interest in geology, coastal formations, and photography.
Anyone wanting to connect with Japan’s natural beauty in a quiet, contemplative setting.
Begin your journey from Miyako Port with a warm welcome from your English-speaking guide. Travel comfortably by chartered vehicle along the scenic Sanriku coast.
Your first destination is Ryujinzaki, a dramatic cape whose name means “Cape of the Dragon Deity.” This rugged headland juts boldly into the Pacific, offering commanding views of waves crashing against dark cliffs. Feel the power of the ocean breeze as your guide shares the local folklore behind this mythical site.
Next, visit the Tategasaki Observation Deck, where a short, pleasant walk leads to a stunning coastal lookout. Here, massive sea-eroded rock formations rise like ancient fortresses along the shoreline, showcasing the raw geological drama of the region. It's a perfect stop for photos and quiet contemplation.
Conclude your journey in one of Miyako’s most iconic spots: Jōdogahama (“Pure Land Beach”), named for its resemblance to the Buddhist paradise. This area is known for its striking white volcanic rocks, turquoise waters, and peaceful pine-dotted coastline.
From here, you’ll explore the Aonodōkutsu (Blue Cave) by small sightseeing boat (weather and sea conditions permitting). As the boat drifts into the narrow sea cave, sunlight filters through the water, turning the interior a glowing shade of blue - a hidden gem of serene beauty and natural wonder.
After a refreshing encounter with the sea and stone, return to the port feeling invigorated by Japan’s coastal splendor.
Note:The order of visits may vary depending on traffic and opening hours to ensure the smoothest experience possible.
