Shizukuishikawa Park

Mt. Eboshi

A 3 hour uphill and 2 hour downhill course with repeated ups and downs from Takinoue Onsen. The name of the mountain comes from its protruding shape like an eboshi. It is located on a ridge that runs from Komagatake to Hachimantai, with a vertical rock wall facing east, offering views in all directions. There are also plenty of alpine plants.

Southern puns

Its home is the Shizukuishi region near Morioka, and it is also called ``Shizukuishi Yoshire.'' The song was born with an interesting romantic feel against the backdrop of the turbulent Sengoku era, and has been passed down from village to village as a spiritual support for the local people.The emotion in the song is expressed as a dance and continues to this day. In Shizukuishi, it is sung and danced as an indispensable part of celebrations, especially wedding banquets. It is originally a zashiki dance, but during the ``Shizukuishi Yoshare Festival'' during Obon, a large parade dance by Shizukuishi Anekko is performed. The songs are lively and rhythmic in the form of jinku. It is a folk song selected as the third Iwate prefecture standard song, and is a gorgeous song comparable to ``Karame-bushi''. Additionally, the ``Nanbu Yoshare National Convention'' is held in late August every year.

Lake Gosho Kawamura Art Museum

I want to share my admiration for beauty and my encounters and impressions with as many people as possible. The Goshoko Kawamura Art Museum was born out of these dreams and wishes. Although it is a small museum, if you open your mind, the works of Lakeside Forest will tell you much more.
