Ichinoseki City Designated Cultural Property “Former Numata Family Samurai Residence”

The former Numata family samurai residence is the former residence of the Numata family, who served as the chief retainer of the Ichinoseki clan in the late Edo period. It has a history of about 300 years and has survived the repeated floods of the Iwai River that flows nearby, without collapsing until today. In Ichinoseki City, the building has been restored and the environment has been improved since 2000, and this residence, which is one of the prefecture's best remains of a senior samurai family, has been open to the public since April 2003.

squirting hole

When waves crash onto the coast north of Jodogahama, between the Hidejima area and Kokuminkyukamura, seawater sprays out in the form of mist from a 65cm wide gap in the rocks. This is a squirting hole. It was designated as a national natural monument in September 1939. This hole opens up and down (to the bottom of the ocean), and the pressure of the surging seawater causes the seawater to blow up in the form of mist from the hole at the top.When the sea is rough, the height of the tide can reach up to 30 meters. .

Fudo Falls

Fudo Falls, which seems to break the silence of the surrounding area, is called Otaki Falls on the right side and Onna Falls on the left side, and Fudoson, one of the five great kings, is enshrined next to it. The height of the Otaki Falls is approximately 15 meters, and when there is a lot of water, it looks just like the Oirase Valley. Fudo Falls has also been certified as one of Iwate's top 20 famous waters.
