The Minamisanriku Story
Beyond the Tsunami:
Minamisanriku’s “1/3 Revolution” and a Global Model for Sustainable Aquaculture
After the 2011 tsunami, the town did not simply rebuild what was lost. Oyster farmers cut their rafts by two thirds — and the bay came back stronger, earning Japan’s first ASC certification.
A Cycle of Life:
Minamisanriku, Where the Forest and Sea Resonate in Sustainability
A Ramsar-listed wetland sits beside working forests and rice terraces. Here the sea and the mountains are managed as one system — and have been for generations.

Minamisanriku is not on the tourist trail — and that is exactly the point.
This is a field where you meet the real Japan, before it has been arranged for visitors.
