Natsuyu Valley

Natsuyu Valley is located in the upper reaches of the Natsuyu River and is known as a famous spot for autumn leaves. During the fall foliage season, the prefectural road leading to the secret hot spring, Natsuyu Onsen, is bustling with activity. After viewing the autumn leaves, it is fun to soothe your fatigue in the open-air bath along the mountain stream.

Kitakami City Park “Tenshochi”

Along the Kitakami River, from the foot of Sango Bridge, there is an approximately 2km line of cherry blossom trees that has been selected as one of the ``Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots.'' There are 10,000 cherry trees and 100,000 azaleas in the park, which soothe the hearts of visitors. In addition, there is a rest house modeled after the rice storehouse of the Nanbu clan, a monument to the Kitakami Yokyoku song, a restored large sailing ship of the Nanbu clan's ship "Hirata-bune" in the Kitakami River cove, and 29 historical buildings such as old folk houses, merchant houses, and samurai residences. There is also the ``Michinoku Folk Village,'' a relocated and restored building, the ``Hachiro Sato Memorial Museum,'' the ``Toneyama Mitsuto Memorial Museum,'' promenades, and cycling paths, which can be enjoyed throughout the year.
