Foxbaden Spa Dome

A 100% natural hot spring where you can enjoy bubble baths and electric saunas. We recently excavated the No. 2 source (spring temperature 45℃), and sodium chloride and hydrogen carbonate springs gushed out. It is a hot spring that will make your skin smooth. Please use it for meetings, large and small banquets, karaoke, etc.

Takizawa Forest Park/Nature Center

A vast forest park and a bird-watching forest within it. The natural forest, which is a mix of coniferous and broad-leaved trees, is home to a variety of animals, including the fictive flycatcher, great tit, and squirrel, making it a paradise for creatures. Regular nature observation sessions are held on the third Sunday of every month. Binoculars are available for loan for free, so feel free to participate. Nearby are Iwate Prefectural University, Industrial Culture Center, and Umakko Park Iwate.

Onikoshi Sozen Shrine

In 1597, a horse in Sawauchi village became unruly while playing in the field, ran all the way to Takizawa, and died. The villagers buried him with care and built a shrine. This is said to be the beginning of Sozen Shrine, and since then, people have taken time off from work to decorate their horses and worship at this shrine on May 5th, Boy's Festival. This is the birthplace of Chagu Chagu Umako, which has been held on June 15 of the new calendar since 1968, and on the second Saturday of June since 2001.
