Point of Interest

Visitors to Minamisanriku may also wish to visit Kaminoyama Park on the hilltop at the center of town from where they can survey the extent of the damage caused by the disaster. The small, grassy park lies on the grounds of a former castle and served as a refuge during the tsunami. Other casualties of the tsunami include Shizugawa Station, Minamisanriku's former train station, and the railway line that ran through the town. A Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system has since been set up with the new Shizugawa BRT Station further inland. Next to the bus station is the Sun Sun Shopping Village, a recovery market of about 30 shops and restaurants set up in temporary buildings, which serve both locals and tourists. {article from japan guide com}
