Miyako, Japan


Despite being engulfed by a 125-foot wave, Miyako has miraculously reemerged completely revitalized from the devastating tsunami of 2011. You’ll find the area’s natural beauty remains unspoiled, including stunning Jodogahama Beach, a white-pebbled stretch of coastline enhanced by jagged offshore rock formations that has been declared a national Place of Scenic Beauty. Navigate the picturesque, Japanese red pine-swathed coast in a sightseeing boat to Hachinohe-ana, an ethereal sea grotto that grants wishes, and cap your exploration at the bustling Miyako Fish Market for a taste of local delicacies including crab, salmon and uni.
