Michinoku
Coastal Trail
Charter

On March 11th, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
brought unprecedented damage to the Pacific coast of the Tohoku region.
It was a major turning point: faced with the fury of nature in a disastersaid to happen at this scale only once in a thousand years, many people
in Japan and throughout the world were forced to rethink how we coexist
with nature.
After this disaster, the Ministry of the Environment started the "Green
Reconstruction Project," a set of initiatives working for sustainablecommunity planning as well as the preservation of abundant nature andlocal ways of life for the future. One such initiative is the Michinoku Coastal
Trail.
Mr. Noriyoshi Kato, who continually advocated for walking throughnatural places as a way to help reconnect humans with nature, proposeda "national trail leading through the national park of the Sanriku Coast,a team effort between government and the people." Thus this longcoastal trail was born, forming a single path along the Pacific coastfrom Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture to Soma, Fukushima Prefecture, andpassing through 4 prefectures and 28 municipalities.
We hope this national trail will live proudly on as a symbol of coexistenceof people and nature for everyone involved, that it will provide not only
natural, scenic beauty, but also a way to build interaction between those
who live and visit here, while celebrating the blessing of nature, thememories of disaster, ways of life, histories, and cultures formed fromharmony with nature. With this hope, we declare the following six rules ofour charter.

1 The trail will be a place to enjoy beautiful sights and naturallandscapes.
2 The trail will bring about connections between the people who live
here and those who visit.
3 The trail will leave lifelong memories of nature's kindness andharshness.
4 The trail will forever testify the memories of disaster.
5 The trail will pass on rich nature and culture to future generations.
6 The trail will welcome all who love to walk and will continue todevelop with everyone's help.
