An Active Day Out in Hachinohe – Nature, Trails & Local Flavors

#cityplaybook

Hachinohe, located on the Pacific coast of Aomori Prefecture, is a hidden gem for travelers who love the outdoors. From dramatic coastal views to lively food streets, this town blends nature and local culture perfectly.

I started the day with a visit to Kabushima Shrine, known for its many seagulls and stunning views of the sea. Just nearby, Tanesashi Coast stole my heart with its wide-open grassy cliffs and ocean breeze—it’s like a dream for nature lovers.

The highlight? A scenic trek along the Michinoku Coastal Trail, where every step came with fresh sea air and gorgeous views. After all that walking, I headed into town and explored Miroku Yokocho—a bustling alley packed with tiny food stalls and izakayas. I wrapped up the day with some local seafood and sake. Perfection!

Why I recommend Hachinohe:
・Breathtaking coastal scenery and great hiking options
・A vibrant local food culture perfect for unwinding after an active day
