Arguably an unorthodox tourist destination (it is most famous for being almost wiped off the map by the devastating 2011 tsunami), Rikuzentakata (Iwate Prefecture) is one of the most forward-thinking, resilient places in Japan. This coastal town continues to rebuild and regenerate itself towards being an attractive, tsunami-proof hub for visitors.
One of the 100 hidden towns in Japan chosen for this publication.
