Ishinomaki Kawano Visitor Center - Ishinomaki

Wakame soup is a treat. It was very delicious.

You can learn about activities in the area and the surrounding environment. There are also rare specimens

Today we are in the direct market from noon. I bought whale meat.

I asked when I went to Okawako. Although it was GW, it was quiet. The facility itself is beautiful, but at the entrance, "It is a facility to learn about environmental conservation, so be sure to learn even those who use only the toilet. If you absolutely use only the toilet, please donate." There is a sticker on the toilet. I was disappointed with the attitude of disliking the use of the toilet and the text requesting donations, so I came back as it was. I don't think it should be pasted. We support the facility so that many people can come.

It is a beautiful and good facility. It would be nice if there was a featured exhibition like a stuffed sea visitor center. I want you to mow a little more around the walking deck in the center of the pond. Even though it is a public facility, there are many people who use this facility instead of a public toilet.

It just opened in April 2018, and I think it will be more and more crowded. There is also a product hall, where you can take a break and eat lunch. You can walk around the area and you will be able to do day camp in the future!

It is a facility built by the Ministry of the Environment and maintained in national parks throughout the country, and the river's visitor center here provides the opportunity to interact with nature by transmitting natural information on Sanriku Reconstruction National Park and the surrounding area. Four companies, the Ministry of the Environment, Ishinomaki City, Minamisanriku Town, and the NPO Natural History Research Institute of the Sea, have set up and managed the Field Museum Management Council. The room is a space where you can relax in a bright and friendly arrangement using wood on a white-based wall, there is a cooking training room and meeting room, and you can use the facility for free if you make an advance reservation. Ecosystem samples around Tsukihama In addition to being able to observe live eels, hazea (small fish) and shrimp in the display and the display tank, the facilities are also friendly to people with disabilities (wheelchair etc.) and large toilets and wheelchairs are also available. It also has a toilet that can be used as it is for people with an artificial anus. The adjacent product center is operated by the Ishinomaki Commerce & Tourism Division, which handles seaweed and frozen seafood. There is a vending machine for drinking water in the facility, and it offers a relaxing place with tables and chairs like a small rest area. Postscript: From the comments, ice sales have also begun! Ureshii! Postscript: "Michinoku Sea Breeze Trail" opened on June 9th, and all 28 types of trail maps are prepared and distributed free of charge here at the visitor center of the river. ※ Various trail maps are distributed free of charge, but because it costs about ¥ 200 for making one map, we also ask for donations at the time of distribution!

Before the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred, the garden where the river visitor center was installed seemed to be the city center of the old Kitakami town. It is said that the town was destroyed by the tsunami and was a place where many people were sacrificed. Those who survived have been relocated to hills, etc., and the vast land that has survived has been developed as a base for Sanriku Reconstruction National Park. The theme of this place is the restoration of nature, and the three-story waterway seems to be multi-naturalized and a facility to learn the process. It is a facility where events are held every season and you can experience and learn about the nature of the surrounding sea, mountains and rivers. In addition, it seems that the garden will be created by the users, so it is a place where the interest in creating the landscape will not be exhausted.
