Located at the easternmost point of Aomori Prefecture, Hashikami Town is first to see the sunrise each day. In the west rises Mount Hashikami (elevation 739.6m). In the east is the Pacific coastline. These regions combine to form Sanriku Fukko (Reconstruction) National Park. The Michinoku Coastal Trail crosses the town from mountain to sea, totaling about 33km. Hiking, camping, seaside exploration, and other outdoor activities are all readily available. You can also enjoy a tour of ancient, giant trees, as well as tours of local heritage and historical sites.
