Shiwa Rose Garden

A 3-minute drive from Roadside Station Shiwa, this rose garden is located on a hill overlooking the majestic Mt. Iwate to the north and the vineyards and countryside of the Akazawa area to the south. We have planted over 1,500 fragrant roses of about 610 species, which are rare even in Japan. The rose festival, which is held twice a year (early June to mid-July and early September to late October), is visited by many people from inside and outside the prefecture every day. Enjoy an elegant moment surrounded by the scent of roses in a special space with an exotic atmosphere reminiscent of southern France.

Shiwa Inari Shrine and Shiwa Old Inari Shrine

Shiwa Inari Shrine is visited by many worshipers as it is believed to be the guardian deity of good harvests, big catches, and traffic safety. In the precincts, there is an old cedar tree that is said to be 1,000 years old and is a place of worship. In addition, the neighboring Shiwako Inari Shrine became a hot topic when a mummy fox was discovered in a sacred tree that fell during the Aion Typhoon.
