Visit to Iwate from Ichinoseki to Rikuzen Takada


This is a picture of Kamaishi, Iwate about 3 months later from the March 11th earthquake and Tsunami.


We had an occasion to visit in Iwate which had a huge impact of Tsunami. The inner area of the prefecture is untouched by it, so it remains green and beautiful.

Even we noticed the change of air which is clear and clean once we reached Iwate. I wonder why!? Maybe it is because the abundant amount of chlorophylls the greens produce??? 


Unfortunately, I couldn’t take beautiful inland scenery pictures due to a limited time we had. The reason why we headed for Iwate is to take some goodies to children who attend 3 kinder gardens in two cities. It was our mission to get there this time. But if there is another opportunity, we definitely want to visit there! There are many hot springs to enjoy.


After finishing delivering the goodies to the children, we had a quick time to see the coastal area of Iwate. We traveled down there to go back home.
What a contrast it makes between the coastal and the inner areas!
The coastal area showed the brutal scars of Tsunami.










But in Ohfunato, I found a hope. The green shrub is coming back from the attack of deadly Tsunami.

Though the branches are bent down, the root remains strong and healthy. Its leaves are reviving in green!


A shot of a peaceful inland. The stand sells horse manures.



We never forget the March 11th, but all the Tohoku area shall remain strong and bounce back no matter how long it takes!
I do hope so.
