Journey along the dramatic Oshika Peninsula to discover monumental contemporary artworks embedded in tsunami-recovery landscapes — a living gallery where art, resilience, and wild Pacific coastline converge in an utterly unique experience.
What to expect
Your guide collects you from the port and drives the Oshika coast, stopping at site-specific installations by internationally acclaimed artists commissioned as part of the Reborn-Art Festival's permanent legacy. Each site carries both aesthetic and deeply human significance — a sculpture garden overlooking a rebuilt fishing village, a luminous installation inside a repurposed storehouse. A freshly prepared local seafood lunch (optional upgrade) is served at a participating community kitchen, where you meet the cooks who rebuilt their lives through the project. The finale is a panoramic clifftop viewpoint above the Pacific.
Good to know
Advance reservation essential — group sizes are kept to 6–10 guests. The full tour runs ~5 hours; pair with the 11 am ferry window to be back before all-aboard. Flat walking shoes recommended; some sites involve short coastal paths.
