Southern puns

Its home is the Shizukuishi region near Morioka, and it is also called ``Shizukuishi Yoshire.'' The song was born with an interesting romantic feel against the backdrop of the turbulent Sengoku era, and has been passed down from village to village as a spiritual support for the local people.The emotion in the song is expressed as a dance and continues to this day. In Shizukuishi, it is sung and danced as an indispensable part of celebrations, especially wedding banquets. It is originally a zashiki dance, but during the ``Shizukuishi Yoshare Festival'' during Obon, a large parade dance by Shizukuishi Anekko is performed. The songs are lively and rhythmic in the form of jinku. It is a folk song selected as the third Iwate prefecture standard song, and is a gorgeous song comparable to ``Karame-bushi''. Additionally, the ``Nanbu Yoshare National Convention'' is held in late August every year.

Kunimi Onsen

A famous hot spring in Michinoku located at Kunimi Pass at the southern foot of Mt. Komagatake on the border with Akita Prefecture. There are Ishizuka Ryokan, Mori Sanso, and Kunimi Sanso (day trip). It has the efficacy of both sulfur spring and hydrogen carbonate spring, and even among sulfur springs, it is hydrogen sulfide type. Yuiro is famous for its rare green color. When I took a little bite, I was surprised at how bad it tasted. The hot springs are 100% fed directly from the source and are yellow-green in color, with a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide. A lot of Yunohana is precipitated. The source is 50 degrees, and 200L gushes out per minute. It is very popular among mountain climbers, hot spring enthusiasts (due to the special quality of the water), and spa visitors.
