Torakuji Temple wooden eleven-faced Kannon statue

Nine Heian Buddha statues, including the eleven-faced Kannon statue, which were enshrined at the foot of Mt. Himegami, are preserved at Torakuji Temple. It has been designated as an Iwate Prefectural Cultural Property, and is said to be one of the best Buddhist statues in the Tohoku region as an eleven-faced Kannon statue.

Boy Takuboku statue

The area where the statue stands used to be the alley of Morioka Castle's vegetable garden. For Takuboku Ishikawa when he was in junior high school, the footpaths and castle ruins seemed to be a source of poetic sentiment. The Takuboku statue by Takashi Honda perfectly depicts the earnest figure of a young boy standing in the harsh north wind, filled with hope. The pedestal is engraved with a line from the collection of poems ``Sad Toys.'' ``I believe in the coming of a new tomorrow, but there are no lies in my words.''

Sakura Park Himegami

Morioka City Sakura Park Himegami was founded by the "Furusato Tamayama-kai," which was made up of residents of the metropolitan area who were originally from the former Tamayama Village. In response to the donation of 10,000 Oyamazakura seedlings, the project was carried out over two years in 1998 and 2011. The hometown Tamayama Association and local residents planted trees in the Hito area to create ``Japan's No. 1 Oyamazakura Village,'' a famous cherry blossom viewing spot. Through outdoor activities such as recreation in rural areas, we contribute to the health and rest of citizens, and This is a park facility established to promote interaction between citizens.
