Hanamaki Toy Museum

Tannaiyama Shrine

This is a shrine where Fujiwara Kiyohira is said to have donated Buddhist statues and sacred treasures, and to which he believed deeply. It became the general guardian of the southern territory, and the current shrine building was rebuilt in 1810. The transoms on both sides of the shrine hall, the side shoji screens, and the front lattice doors are decorated with beautiful carvings. It is said that if you can pass through the large stone at the back of the main shrine without hitting the wall, you will receive blessings. This is a mysterious shrine with the ``Seven Wonders.''

Kamabuchi Falls

Located in the depths of Hanamaki Onsen, the clear water of the Daikawa River flows down into several streams, like a tama-sudare, over a circular Oiwa stone measuring 8.5 meters high and 30 meters wide. It is said that Iwawa got its name from its shape, which resembles an upside-down rice cooker. There is a monument of Kenji's poetry.
