Hanamaki Onsen

A hot spring developed in 1923 by drawing water from Dai Onsen. It has an elegant and calm atmosphere, with rows of cherry blossom trees, red pine forests, and a rose garden with a sundial flower bed designed by Kenji Miyazawa. It is known throughout the country as a hot spring resort in northern Tohoku. The hot springs are effective against rheumatism, neuralgia, etc.

Toriyazaki Shrine

Rebuilt in 1313, Toriyazaki Castle had three castle guardian shrines, but in 1536, the castle lord at the time (an ancestor of the Hidenuki clan) merged them and created Toriyazakiza Sanhashira Shrine. It was renamed. During the Keicho period (around 1600), Kitamatsusai, the lord of Hanamaki Castle, prayed to the main shrine at the start of the war and won the war, so he built a new shrine and held a grand festival during the annual festival, inviting the people of the county to take a break from work to worship. .
