ISSUE03 発行です！

www.onagawadays.jp

ISSUE03のテーマは「ふゆに、ございん。」 冬に来てください、と女川弁で言われると、ほっこりしませんか。 東北の冬は雪深い印象があるかもしれませんが、女川では雪はめったに降りません。降っても、あまり積もらない。海に面した港町の特権と言えますね。 ぜひ冬こそ、女川へ。

Welcoming Prince William - Cafe Cebolla in Onagawa

As Prince William walked through Kibo No Kane, the local shopping center, he was greeted by handmade signs like this one by Cafe Cebolla's Doga family. "He pointed and laughed at the sign!" says Ms. Doga, the owner and chef of the cafe serving lunch made with local seafood and other seasonal ingredients. Mr. Doga, the husband, is quite the artist; he drew this sign with crayons. 

Be sure to stop by and check out this cute and cozy cafe when you are in Onagawa.

Prince William taking a tour of Onagawa

Prince William in Onagawa! He met and spoke with local business men and women. Here, he is seen taking a tour of the local shopping center, Kibo No Kane (Bell of Hope). We wonder what he had to say about the fun posters...if, someone was able to translate the punchline, that is.

Recovery in Onagawa

Great piece by an New Zealand paper on recovery in Onagawa.

One line stands out:

Yet those we met were unbelievably positive about the future and staying in the town, despite losing family members in the most terrifying experience imaginable.

Onagawa, moving forward to a new future for the town.

Train in Onagawa, once again

On February 2nd, 2015, a diesel train running on the tracks was a welcome sight to the people of Onagawa. It was the first time in four years, ever since the day of the Eastern Japan Earthquake on March 11th, 2011. 

The sound of the whistle blowing, heard throughout the town, brought many to near tears.
