At a GlanceThere are three towns that make up Watari, Arahama, Okuma, and Yoshida. Being right on the coast, Watari boasts a decent beach (by Japanese standards). Watari was nearly entirely covered in water during the 2011 Great Tohoku Earthquake. You can see the aftermath of the tsunami on Street View. Fortunately, the rebuilding efforts have allowed the town to thrive again. Unfortunately, the public transit is not so good, so you'll need a car or taxi to get there. Watari strawberries famous throughout Miyagi for their deliciousness! For the true strawberry lover, most fields have an all-you-can-pick-and-eat deal. Harakomeshi (rice topped with cooked salmon and salmon roe) in season is delicious.
