Areas
Sanriku Coast
The deeply indented Sanriku coast is treated as one practical fishing area across Aomori, Iwate and Miyagi. Seasonal inshore fish and bottom species provide varied targets, but Pacific swell and changing weather require care. Access to ports, seawalls and rocky shores varies, so check current local signs and rules before fishing.
