Tonouma no Sato

The Tono region was once prosperous as the ``Nanbu Koma production area'', and in recent years has become one of the prefecture's leading producers of agricultural horses and riding horses. Furthermore, Tono Uma no Sato, which has been developed with the aim of regional revitalization centered on horses, offers horseback riding and other petting activities, as well as breeding and training of racehorses and riding horses (up to 160 horses), and breeding of riding horses and agricultural horses. We are also making improvements. There is also a clubhouse where you can rest and stay overnight, and there is also an 810m trail course in addition to Kakubaba.

Tsuriyama Park

Ichinoseki flourished as a castle town with a tamura of 30,000 koku. Remnants of that tradition remain in this area, and there are monuments to many of our predecessors, including Kogoro Takahira, Junma Nomura, and Gotoku Nagata. It is a popular park for viewing cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn leaves in the fall, and is a popular park for families to enjoy strolling around. It will be illuminated during the cherry blossom season.

Kenji Miyazawa poem monument (lower bridge)

In 1999, a monument commemorating Kenji Miyazawa's poem ``Chagu Chagu Umako'' was erected near the bridge below where he was lodging with his younger brother when he was in his third year at the High School of Agriculture and Forestry. There are four songs, including the following: ``Even though it's still a little while before dawn, the bottom edge of the river is still open.'' It was around this time that Kenji began to devote himself seriously to literature, and the ten years he spent in Morioka from the age of 13 to the age of 24 (the end of his high school agricultural research studentship) became the foundation for his subsequent activities.

Lake Gosho Kawamura Art Museum

I want to share my admiration for beauty and my encounters and impressions with as many people as possible. The Goshoko Kawamura Art Museum was born out of these dreams and wishes. Although it is a small museum, if you open your mind, the works of Lakeside Forest will tell you much more.
