    Kakitsubata community on the mountain shore

    Kakitsubata is also the flower of Morioka City. This colony is located in Taihei, a mountain bank about 4 km northeast of the city, along National Route 455, which connects the city and Iwaizumi. During the flowering season, refreshing blue-purple flowers bloom all over the 931-square-meter grounds, and they stand out against the yellow-green leaves, making for a spectacular sight. There is also an arbor and parking space on the premises, making it a relaxing spot for citizens. It is a prefecture-designated natural monument, and conservation efforts are being actively carried out. Flowering/early June to mid-June
