Michinoku Coastal Trail – Part 2

After two great weeks we sadly said farewell to Cédi in Kuji and continued the trail again just the two of us.

The section between Kuji and Oomoto of the Michinoku Coastal Trail hasn’t yet been officially opened so we continued the trail south without the comfort of the signposts and nice hiking maps. With our progress to south the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and the consequent tsunami become apparent. New massive dams are being constructed and vanished villages beeing rebuilt. In Tarō for instance we saw rows of temporary homes. Besides this sad history of the region we have seen stunning places like Kitayamazaki or the Sannoiwa rocks.
