Sightseeing Spots

Swan flying area (new embankment/Sango Bridge)

Swans begin flying around the new embankment and Sango Bridge (Kitakami River) from around late October, and stay until around April of the following year. More than 1,000 swans spend the winter here each year, bringing a sense of peace to visitors. The number of visitors is the highest in the prefecture. To get to the new embankment, take the JR Tohoku Shinkansen Kitakami Station and get off at the Iwate Prefectural Transportation Kitakami Noh High School/Hikashita Line Minami Junior High School bus stop.
