Sanriku Volunteer Divers
Since the 3.11, the Sanriku coastline has been on a path to recovery. Yet, the rich marine ecosystem is now facing a critical threat due to sea desertification.
Rising water temperatures and grazing damage are causing the kelp beds to disappear, which leads to fishes losing their habitats, and further leading to damage to the fishing industry.
We, Sanriku Volunteer Divers, conduct marine research, carrying out surveys, and developing methods for ecosystem restoration.
Rider's House Horei
A place where travel enthusiasts and motorcycle lovers can gather, share information, help build a community, and relax for a short break.
Sanriku coast is named for its rich oceans, but the mountain range is something you cannot forget! The mountain side road that takes you in and out of the woods with the ocean view just around the corner is perfect motorcycle tour route!
