Tanesashi Natural Lawn Area

Imagine soft, green grass stretching out beside the deep blue ocean, with a gentle sea breeze brushing your skin. Welcome to the Tanesashi Natural Lawn Area in Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture—a rare and breathtaking coastal landscape where natural lawn meets the Pacific Ocean.

This peaceful and picturesque spot is unlike any other in Japan, offering an open, healing space where visitors can relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.

A Carpet of Green by the Sea

The most distinctive feature of the area is its natural lawn that stretches right up to the shoreline—a sight that’s incredibly rare, even in a country blessed with natural beauty.

This is also known for the contrast in the beautiful landscape between rocky shoreline and verdant lawn.

Here, you can kick off your shoes and walk barefoot, lie down and watch the clouds drift

by, or enjoy a picnic with the sound of the ocean in the background

With the vast Pacific Ocean just beyond the horizon, it’s the perfect place to lose track of time and simply breathe.

Nature’s Beauty Through the Seasons

The Tanesashi Coast, including Tanesashi Natural Lawn Area, is located at the northern end of Sanriku Fukko (Reconstruction) National Park, Sanriku Geopark, and Michinoku Coastal Trail.

Each season paints Tanesashi coast in a new light. In spring, wildflowers bloom across the area. Summer invites families and friends to picnic and camp beneath clear blue skies. Autumn brings golden waves of pampas grass swaying in the sea breeze. And in winter, the area takes on a quiet, snow-dusted charm. Just a short walk away from the natural lawn area, the Tanesashi Coast Information Center offers engaging exhibits on the local ecosystem and wildlife. It’s a great place to deepen your understanding before or after exploring the region.
