Fukuda bread

This is a bakery that is so well-loved by the locals that there is no one in Morioka who doesn't know about it. It's sold at supermarkets, but if you go to a Fukuda bread shop, they'll add your favorite jams and toppings and cook it right in front of you.

Morioka Tsunagi Onsen

A hot spring that is popular as the inner parlor of Morioka. It is said that the name ``Tsunagi'' came from the fact that a long time ago, Minamoto no Yoshiie would tie his beloved horse here to rest. Inns and hotels are lined up overlooking Lake Gosho, which was created by damming the Shizukuishi River. Nearby are Morioka Handmade Village, Koiwai Farm, and the area around Gosho Lake where families can enjoy nature to the fullest.
