Onagawa is situated on the beautiful Sanriku coastline at the top of the Oshika Peninsula. It is an ideal location for building a healthy community that can live not in competition, but in harmony with its natural surroundings.

INFRASTRUCTURE:
roads make up an essential network that connects Onagawa with neighboring regions. The improvement and maintenance of major roads, such a s the access road to the Sanriku Expressway and the major route 398 are a major focus of activity, in addition to bridge-building, shipping routes, and the easing of traffic congestion.
IT: Onagawa recognizes the vital importance of information technology and is in the process of analyzing and installing communications networks.

ENVIRONMENT:
Onagawa's location in unspoilt natural surroundings makes us particularly aware of the importance of an environmentally friendly lifestyle, from societal issues such as waste products and exhaust fumes down to the awareness of the individual. Municipal actions in the form of sewage system improvements and waste disposal center construction assists in the preservation of the natural environment.

DISASTER PREVENTION:
to ensure the safety of its citizens, every household in Onagawa is fitted with a wireless intercom for emergency transmissions. In addition, the Onagawa nuclear power plant is subject to numerous rigorous safety checks.
