Kitayamazaki is eight kilometres of cliff on the Sanriku coast, two hundred metres straight down to the water, and it is usually called the Alps of the sea. There are three viewing platforms. The first is level with the car park and reachable by wheelchair; the second and third are down flights of steps; and if you take all 736 steps to the bottom you look up at the whole thing from sea level, which is a different experience and a serious climb back.

The other way to see it is from a sappa — the small open boat Sanriku fishermen use for urchin and abalone. A fisherman takes you along the base of the cliffs for an hour, through a rock arch and into a sea cave. It is ¥3,800 for junior high school age and above, minimum two adults, and the visitor centre at the top is free.

인사이더 가이드

**736 steps to the bottom.** Going down is easy and coming back is not. The second platform gives most of the view for a fraction of the effort. **Book the sappa boat.** Sixty minutes at the foot of a two-hundred-metre cliff in an open fishing boat, through a rock arch and into a cave. It needs two participants of junior high age or above. **The first platform is step-free.** Level with the car park and usable with a wheelchair or pushchair, which is rare on this coast. **The visitor centre theatre is free.** Worth ten minutes before walking out, particularly if the weather has closed the view. **The Michinoku Coastal Trail passes here.** The long-distance path along the whole Sanriku shore runs through Kitayamazaki, and the section either side is among its best.
