Ishinomaki

Marina and I are making plans to visit Ishinomaki in the Miyagi prefecture during my trip to Japan. Ishinomaki is one of the cities very hard hit by the Earthquake and Tsunami of just over a year ago.  Do not worry it is quite a distance north of Fukushima.  They are still in recovery time but there was so much damage it appears it is very slow going. Here is a link on Japan-Guide that shows how the recovery is going.

It is not something I had initially thought of doing I'll admit. But will be outside the standard tourist concept.
