Tsunami Anime
Ōtsuchi in Iwate Prefecture serves as the setting for Misaki no Mayoiga, an anime film blending post-disaster recovery with folklore. Inspired by the town’s experience after the 2011 tsunami, the story follows two girls who find healing in a mysterious coastal home called a "Mayoiga." The film’s quiet seaside scenes reflect Ōtsuchi’s real-life beauty and resilience. It’s a meaningful destination for those drawn to stories of hope and renewal.
