Close to Hachinohe, you can follow the coast round from the Ashigazaki lookout to the Tanesashi lawn along the Promenade, a 5km path that takes you through a diverse range of captivating scenery. There's rugged, rocky coastline, a long expanse of soft, sandy beach, then finally a cool forest of tall trees, some of them sprouting from fissures in huge rocks. Every step of the way there's lush greenery and colorful flowers, and the Promenade ends at the Tanesashi lawn, a grassy expanse overlooking the ocean.

Tanesashi Coast Promenade
A relaxing coastal walk through a diversity of scenery
By Peter Sidell

The start of the Promenade
There can be some strong winds coming off the sea at times
Bright flowers and greenery add color to the walk
The path sometimes follows hard by the rocky shore
The path is separate from the beach: I followed the beach
Looking inland from the beach
It's a long, long beach
All along the Promenade the rocks are covered with greenery
This big rock seems to be popular with seagulls
Here the path takes you into a shady forest
Trees have grown right through some of the large rocks
A short side path takes you to a small cave with a miniature shrine inside
The forest is lushly green and full of flowers
The end of the Promenade, and the start of Tanesashi lawn
The long expanse of lawn, a good place to walk barefoot
