Things to Do in Ofunato

Goishihama Coast is a stunning natural wonder featuring unique round black pebbles that resemble go game stones, created over thousands of years by the relentless waves of the Pacific Ocean. Located in Iwate Prefecture's Sanriku Coast area, this geological marvel offers visitors a peaceful beach experience with dramatic coastal scenery and the rhythmic sounds of stones clicking together as waves wash over them. The coast is particularly photogenic during sunset and is part of the Sanriku Fukko National Park, making it an ideal stop for nature lovers and photographers exploring northeastern Japan.
