Kesennuma, Port settlement in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan
Located on the eastern coast of Honshu island, Kesennuma extends over 332 square kilometers and includes residential areas, commercial districts, and maritime facilities.
The area transformed from an ancient settlement in Mutsu Province to an official town in 1889, later achieving city status in 1953 through municipal mergers.
The Rias Ark Museum exhibits local artworks and maintains records of regional traditions while documenting the effects of natural disasters on the community.
The Kesennuma Fish Market provides observation decks where visitors can watch the processing and trading of marine products, including tuna and swordfish.
Mount Anbasan rises 239 meters above the city, offering walking paths that lead to observation points overlooking Kesennuma Bay and its maritime activities.
