Kenji Miyazawa’s poetry monument (Kurakake no Yuki)

Mt. Kurakake, the mountain that Kenji Miyazawa loved. The landscape, which changes its appearance with the seasons, is so beautiful that it is said to be the driving force behind Kenji's work. The monument with the poem ``Kurakake no Yuki'' stands next to the parking lot of the Takizawa Nature Information Center.

Onikoshi Sozen Shrine

In 1597, a horse in Sawauchi village became unruly while playing in the field, ran all the way to Takizawa, and died. The villagers buried him with care and built a shrine. This is said to be the beginning of Sozen Shrine, and since then, people have taken time off from work to decorate their horses and worship at this shrine on May 5th, Boy's Festival. This is the birthplace of Chagu Chagu Umako, which has been held on June 15 of the new calendar since 1968, and on the second Saturday of June since 2001.
