First Sunrise (Iwazaki)

It is designated as the Sanriku National Park. A cape representing the coastal beauty of Kesennuma Bay, along with Oshima and Ryūmazaki on the opposite bank. Fossils-laden limestone of corals and foraminifera from 200 million years ago were washed by waves and eroded jagged to form the current oddity. In the old days, it was called "Konezaki" due to its landscape and the presence of a dangerous reef that can be seen and hidden under the waves, but it was changed to "Kakizaki" during the fifth-generation head of the Date Domain, Kimi Yoshimura.
