What is the Michinoku Coastal Trail?
The Michinoku Coastal Trail goes through four prefectures and 28 municipalities. This course meant for journeys on foot joins over 1000 kilometers of paths that belong to and are maintained by all kinds of owners, including local governments. This trail’s future survival depends not only on those in charge of this trail, but on cooperation and collaboration between local groups, guide organizations, individuals, lodging facilities, transportation companies, and those hiking the trail. The Michinoku Coastal Trail Charter was made to share this trail with people from all walks of life. Why was this trail made? Why do we want it to survive and flourish in the future? This charter holds the core values and thoughts that need to be jointly shared over the bounds of time and distance to sustainably collaborate on this trail over a wide area.
