Introduction
"Pokémon GO" starts service in Japan on July 22, 2016. Inspired by the fact that it was a game based on the popular title "Pocket monster", we took in a wide range of users quickly. Everyone recognizes that influence, as of August 2016, announced cooperation with Kumamoto prefecture which is the afflicted area of ​​"East Japan great earthquake disaster" Iwate prefecture, Miyagi prefecture · Fukushima prefecture, "Kumamoto earthquake" disaster area It is.

The developer Niantic is carrying out the official event in cooperation with each local government in Ingress which is the same position information game as Pokémon GO but at Pokémon GO the official event is still held in Ebetsu City HokkaidoPokémon Go Third Saturday"only.

It was "Explore Miyagi" that was announced there. The event is organized by the Miyagi Prefecture and the Miyagi Prefecture Tourism Federation, and they will apply for themselves by searching for candidates who wish to go around themselves around Ishinomaki City, Higashimatsushima City, Onagawa Town, Minami Sanriku-cho, Miyagi Prefecture and add them to a new pocket stop.


"Explore Miyagi" official websiteAlthough there are sub events such as "shiny ☆ fever" to dance with Pikachu, there are "There is no special change in Pokemon appearing ※.As indicated by the notation, changes in the appearance rate of Pokemon at the venue and the type of Pokemon appearance were not planned.

The overlap there is "Laplace appearance increase".Contents that mobile phone Watch has heard from Niantic Japan corporation president Murai MuraiAccording to it, it seems to be "It happened to have a timing" to the last, it seems that it was carried out as one of the reasons for visiting the site.


Actually, as I had the timing, I decided to go.

To Ishinomaki
Ishinomaki City is located in the northeastern part of Miyagi prefecture. When seeing the Tohoku region on the map, the coastline on the Pacific Ocean side, which continues from Aomori Prefecture, sinks inward from the protrusion of one peninsula. This ledge is the Oshika peninsula, and to the west side of the base there is an urban area of ​​Ishinomaki-shi.


The starting point of movement is Sendai. It is 840 yen from JR Sendai station to Ishinomaki station.


Suica and other IC cards are also supported, but it seems that the fare is 842 yen and 2 yen higher when using the IC card.


Sengoku line or Sengoku Tohoku line can be reached without transfer. This time I left Sendai station at 6:26 and got on a quick ride. The vehicle is "HYBRID TRAIN" HB-E 210 series hybrid railcars written.


It was rattling at the time of getting on. After this, some seats were buried until departure.


this day isEarthquake with a maximum seismic intensity 4 with seismic off Miyagi prefecture at 6:48 amOccurred. Although I did not notice the occurrence of the earthquake at all inside the car, I finished my mistake at Takashiro-cho station and encountered a long wait for a signal on my way to Noji station, the next stop. To Nogashiri station it is about 5 minutes late arrival.


In front of and behind Noga station, after the Great East Japan Earthquake, I changed the route to inland.


At that station, you will encounter disorder in the earthquake ... ....


◆ From Ishinomaki station to the event venue
The train arrived at Ishinomaki Station about 20 minutes behind schedule. Ishinomaki City was a land he had as the second hometown of manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori, there was statue of Masked Rider and Cyborg 009 (009, 003, 001) in the station premises.


Outside the station, trying to jump off the station as much as 002, as if to protect the station front 003. this isIshinomaki manga roadAs one of the statues set up in the way to the Ishinomori Munugemikan.


For that reason, I have no idea that "Cyborg Warrior is in such a place!"


This destination is kore.


However, on the way there are mask riders ......


Ishinomori characters, such as aka rangers, are waiting, each one is stopped as it is registered as a pocket stop.


This is a stone bench of robokon.


I think that there is a monument of "the land where the tsunami struck" and I feel that it is a disaster area of ​​the Great East Japan Earthquake again.


There is "Nakase venue" in Nakasu of the former Kitakami River about 10 minutes on foot from the station. By the way, the building which is very conspicuous The building in the center is Ishinomori Munma Gallery. The monument was also a signpost to the venue.


At the time of arrival, the Munugakkan was in front of the opening.


A vacant lot near the venue.


There was Ishinomaki Hallast Orthodox here, but it was dismantled / relocated because it suffered great damage at 3.11. What is set as a pocket stop is its site, this is a "portal of memory" as a portal applied at Ingress's Tohoku Reconstruction Assistance EventPokémon GO has also appeared as a pocket stopThing.


Arrived at the venue.


◆ Venue landscape
The event summary looks like this. Subevents are prepared with the "Search for new pocket stop candidates" as the axis, and a gourmet / merchandising booth in the coastal area is set up at this site hall.


It takes about 3 hours from Tokyo to Ishinomaki and about 1 hour from Sendai. I was wondering how many people gathered, but as I saw the venue, people increased as I saw it.


Eventually, like this. Because people are scattered, I do not feel "tight" but it is quite a lot of people. Also, I saw someone moving in a direction to get away from the venue to find a new pocket stop candidate.


After 10 o'clock, the departure ceremony of the reconstruction bus tour which searched for candidate pocket stops divided into four areas of Oshika area · Ogaki area · Okumoto island area · Minami Sanriku area was held. Sendai · Miyagi tourism PR character on the stageMusubi-maruThe figure of.


For the bus tour, 50 first-time participants can participate. A local tour guide accompanies it and takes around 4 hours and 30 minutes around each area. It was a pretty interesting tour, but when I joined, I came back to the venue around 14:30, so I decided to leave the departure this time.

The event on the side of the venue is quite substantial. For example, the "egg sharks tournament" is a competition for the weight of Pokemon hatched from eggs on this day, and the target Pokemon was announced on the day. Originally, many people moved around Ishinomaki city looking for Laplace, so because of the many opportunities to hatch, quite a lot of people were participating.


The booth which can be said to be essential if Pokémon GO's event is done is "charging booth".


Although it seems to be occupied only by simply placing a power tap, microUSB cable, Lightning cable, a receipt certificate is necessary at the time of use, and a rule of using each hour from 00 minutes, 20 minutes, 40 minutes to a maximum of 20 minutes Was set up. It is okay if you do not keep waiting, "When will I be free?" It is a nice mechanism to be able to use it while changing properly.


◆ Pikachu's shiny ☆ fever
"Pikapika ☆ Fever" being held in various places as an event to dance with Pikachu has come also to Ishinomaki. First of all, along with Pikachu, we performed a "Pokelech" that stretches with a movement that modeled Pokemon and then to the corner where Dr. Pikachu teaches dance.


At first, the older sisters had the dance done by Dr. Pikachu, but Mr. Oshima failed in that dance. I will show you the dance with saying "Dance like this!"


And dancing with five Pikachu.

"Shiny Pika ☆ Fever" Pikachu Corps dance - YouTube


She showed me a pretty dance.


Furthermore, after the end, a high touch group party was held, and many parent and child companions were participating here as well.

◆ Venue hood
Although it is an event held only for one day, the food booth was quite substantial.


Oyster juice enters 3 oysters at 300 yen. As a taste it is rich but extract is rich.


Baked abalone (600 yen)


Texture of "mufflippi".


Natori Nabe Nabe with Seri (300 yen)


Sendai Sandai Cider (300 yen), Octopus Chowder (300 yen), Kesenuma Hormone (500 yen).


To the solder ciderTohoku RonchoThe figure of.


I sold the solder ciderShichigahama-choThe booth has "Kannagi"Goodies are lined up and I remembered that" In the past it was a stage. " (Nagi's shrine is a model of Nonsubishi Shrine in Shichigahama-cho)


◆ Outside the venue
Remember that Ishinomaki is also included in the area where the rate of occurrence of Laplace is rising for a limited time. "Explore Miyagi" is also available, but there were so many people who aimed at Laplace, and in the town seeking for Laplace and going around, there was a "flock" of people gathering at the same place.

"Ishinomaki Manga Road" has many pocket stops, so it's a crowd of people.


Television coverage crew just discovered Laplace. Do you use it in a news program or something?


People of Laplace catch as well.


When coming back to the station, here are a lot of people here. Regardless of Laplace, there seems to be a lot of pocket stops so it seems that we are collecting Pokemon just by installing a lure.


The fact that I realized the power of Laplace was that I saw a lot of people walking around smartphones in places apparently away from main street. In other words, it is also that there are still few people who use the application to find Pokemon, but the flow of people is born towards the place where Laplace and relatively rare Pokemon got boiled, "smart phone It is rare to get disappointed if you go to places where people who have gathered are gathered "was born.

"So, in fact, how much will you get Laplace?" First of all, in the morning, the first person was found and captured on the way from the Ishinomaki station to the venue.


To the discovery too early, Laplace did not go out until the arrival of the venue from there because it was pleasant that "This can be captured as much as the goth at the time of Halloween ... ..." from there, Laplace did not go out even around the venue Even after waiting for 3 hours, only the first one. Besides, the battery of the smartphone is gone. "I still have to move positively" to switch to another smartphone I had as a spare, keeping up with the movement of those who seemed to find Laplace.

Then, at the beginning of the day we discovered and captured the 2nd Laplace again at 11:07 ......


At 11:21, the third one


4th at 11:28


At 11:37, the 5th animal


At 11:55, the 6th ... ... and about 5 hours in total in about 1 hour, I succeeded in capturing 4 of them.


I did not capture all the Pokemons I found, but it looks almost like this.


By the way, people who live locally who did not know about the event are surprised at the number of people who are so many, knowing that the event of "Pokémon GO" is being held, "This is that Pokemon! , It seems that it might have been since the earthquake. " Although it is five years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, even now the reconstruction project is being promoted in Ishinomaki City, even if the aim is "looking for Laplace", eating rice and buying a souvenir is a local You should be of help. "Explore Miyagi" has ended, but since the appearance of Laplace continues for a while still, so please visit three Tohoku districts on this occasion, not limited to Ishinomaki.


In addition, on the way back I took a high-speed bus from the central 3-chome bus stop just around the middle of the Nakase venue and Ishinomaki station.


There was also an idea that it seems to be crowded if it is from the station, but expectation was on the way, and a queue was made at the Ishinomaki bus stop in front after this. The fare is 800 yen and it is slightly cheaper than JR, but on this day it was quite congested in the city of Ishinomaki, arrival at Sendai station was 11 minutes late than scheduled.
