Welcome to Kamaishi
– the City of Steel, the Sea, and Rugby.

Kamaishi began as a small fishing village and went on to play a key role in supporting modern Japan through its steel industry.

The city with all its treasures is surrounded by vast mountains and a bountiful sea.

It’s also home to resilient people who continue to live with strength and grace,
despite facing natural disasters time and again.

This is why people call Kamaishi an “Open Field Museum”
— where every person and scenery is significantly valued and enjoyed.

You won’t find world-famous masterpieces here.
But you will discover moments and encounters that move your heart—things you can only notice by experiencing them with all five senses.

These may lead you to uncover your own “hidden treasures.”


Come experience the people, stories, and excitement that we are proud to share with you!
