One of Tohoku's leading bar districts is in Hachinohe.
The bar districts is in Hachinohe looks quite large for the population by the effect that bars gather in one place.
The first attraction is an alley. Signs stick out from the bars lined up on narrow alleys, and tipsy customers pass through under those. People can wander around with confidence there. The second is many small and unique bars by locals, that is, a bar district of locals, by locals, for locals and tourists. The third is the dingy streetscape. Due to the law, a new building must be impossible to build with the current narrow alley. Hachinohe advertises such bar district that may seem negative as tourism content. A good business-entity!
Miroku Yokocho Alley is recommended for unfamiliar visitors. The old building's site became a food stall village by the Chamber of Commerce. The store is glass-walled. You can see the number of customers, the price, and the compatibility of an owner at a glance. It's always crowded. But an owner told me that the tsunami by the Great East Japan earthquake killed a lot of customers. Hachinohe was also damaged but doesn't look painful, maybe because it doesn't rely much on tangible factors. Hachishoku Center like a temporary building, Tatehana Morning Market reopened once the peer had been repaired, the simple Miroku Yokocho, and the festivals, and etc are all intangible factors. So, those don't surrender to damage by disasters.
Hachinohe is a disaster-resistant town with excellent intangible factors.
