Michinoku Coastal Trail (みちのく潮風トレイル): 05 Natori to Shiogama

Here’s the latest stage of our trek on the Michinoku Coastal Trail (みちのく潮風トレイル). We’ll be doing about 500 kilometres, all on foot and carrying everything we need in backpacks, from Soma (the southern trailhead) and heading north to Ofunato, which near the midpoint of the 1,000 kilometre MCT trail.

Today’s walk takes us from NATORI to SHIOGAMA, a lengthy 30+ kilometer walk that surprises us with numerous tsunami related sites, cute pastel cars and a surf and turf lunch….literally!
