Shichigahama, Coastal town in Miyagi district, Japan
Shichigahama is a coastal town in Miyagi district situated on a peninsula between Tagajō and Shiogama. Seven distinct beaches line the shoreline along the Pacific Ocean and Matsushima Bay.
The area contains significant archaeological findings from the Jōmon period, including one of Japan's largest shell mounds. These discoveries are preserved and displayed at the Shichigahama Jōmon History Museum.
The name reflects seven traditional fishing villages that merged to form this community, and fishing remains woven into daily life here. Visitors can see boats along the shore and understand how the sea has always shaped this place.
The Guririnko bus service connects the town to railway stations in Tagajō and Hon-Shiogama throughout the day. Buses run regularly and make it easy to explore the area and reach larger towns nearby.
The town has maintained sister city ties with Plymouth, Massachusetts since 1990, fostering ongoing cultural exchanges. This connection demonstrates how communities with shared maritime heritage find common ground across the globe.
