Cost per person
¥2,000
Explore the scenic Kuji and Kosode Coasts, also known as 'Amachan Street,' made famous by the NHK drama 'Amachan.' This coastal area offers stunning views of the Sanriku coastline, featuring unique rock formations like Tsurigane-do Cave and Kabuto Rock. Drive along the narrow, winding Route 268 (Amachan Kaido) from Kuji City to Kosode Fishing Port, keeping an eye out for the Hamanasu observation deck. The Kosode Ama Center is a highlight, though it's quieter now than during the drama's peak. Be cautious of narrow roads, especially if driving. Parking is available for free. The best time to visit is during the summer months (July-September) to witness the Ama divers in action.
