Kesennuma fishing port

The port features multiple docking areas, processing facilities, and a market complex dedicated to marine product distribution in northeastern Japan.

The port infrastructure underwent complete reconstruction following the 2011 tsunami, which destroyed vessels and facilities with waves reaching 10 meters in height.

The fish market opens daily at dawn, presenting the regional fishing methods and seafood processing techniques that define the local maritime traditions.

Visitors can observe the morning fish trading activities from the market's observation deck between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM throughout the year.

The port specializes in processing shark fins, maintaining dedicated facilities that handle various shark products alongside tuna and other marine catches.
