Jodogahama Beach ー
浄土ヶ浜
The place where Buddha lives:
Jodogahama Beach is a beauty spot located in the center of the Sanriku Fukkō National Park of Iwate. Sharp white rocks stand together in large numbers keenly with three inlets, and the expressions of the white rocks are different one by one. The contrast with the green of the pine and white color of the rocks, the shore of the sand bar and the sea of the azure blue is unmissable. It is named by Jodogahama (the place where Buddha lives in) and an ancient priest. The highlight is the inlet of Oku Jodogahama, where there is a promenade along the sand bar 10-minute walk away from the visitor center, the bus terminal. If you have enough time, enjoy the beauty of the shoreline on a pleasure boat. Though it was damage the big Earthquake of Tohoku, visitors are recommended to come as a support for revival.
