Totsukamori Forest Park

Ishidoriya History and Folklore Museum

It houses sake brewing tools that tell the story of the history of sake brewing in the south, and introduces the sake brewing process. 1,788 of the sake brewing tools have been designated as important cultural properties of the country. Also on display are Jomon pottery excavated from within the town, clay bear figurines that are rare in Japan, ancient documents such as umbrella-shaped complaints, and personal accessories that reflect that era. We also exhibit sake vessels from Japan and around the world.

Hayachine Dam

It is a prefectural multipurpose dam completed in 2000. The dam, which was named "Hayachine Lake" after many public applications, has a roadside station "Hayachine" attached to it, as well as a water and green contact park and the Yamamura Cultural Exchange Center nearby. There is a ``Friendship Bell'' donated by the Friendship City of Austria, and it is crowded with families, young people, and groups returning from mountain climbing.

Hidehira lacquer

The fixtures used at Chuson-ji Temple and Motsu-ji Temple in Hiraizumi were handed down to the folk, and they are also made in Hanamaki. The lacquer from the southern region is of the highest quality in the world and is used in high-quality lacquerware. Also, as the birthplace of Kenji Miyazawa, lacquerware related to Kenji's works are also made.
