Michinoku Coca-Cola Bottling Link (Morioka City Ice Rink)

The only public skating rink in the Tohoku region that opened in September 2015. Equipped with one international standard skating rink and two car rink seats, not only those involved in the sport but also the general public can easily enjoy ice skating throughout the year.

Homespun Michinoku Akanekai

You can see the homespun process, which is all done by hand, from dyeing to weaving, and a series of panels introduce the manufacturing process. Homespun, which was popularized in Iwate by British missionaries at the beginning of the Meiji period, is a woolen fabric made from dyed wool and woven from hand-spun thread. While mass production is often done by machines, Michinoku Akane-kai is particular about creating original handmade products, in which each warp and weft of spun wool is woven by hand.
