Yotoke market

A long-established confectionery shop that represents Iwaizumi Town. There are a variety of sweets made with chestnuts, such as chestnut yokan, chestnut squeezed, and chestnut chestnut marron. All of them have a simple taste that makes the most of the chestnut flavor.

Roadside station “Iwaizumi”

The roadside station "Iwaizumi" is located along National Route 455, a 15-minute drive from Rikuchu Coast, and a 10-minute drive from Ryusendo Cave, making it a great location for Sanriku sightseeing spots. There is also a wide variety of local souvenirs on display, including Matsutake mushrooms from Iwaizumi in the fall.

Ryusendo Cave water

Rain and snow water is purified through the deciduous strata of broad-leaved trees such as beech and oak that spreads throughout the mountains of Iwaizumi Town, and is further filtered through limestone layers over many years. Ryusendo Cave water has by far the highest calcium content of any mineral water in Japan, and is rich in minerals in a well-balanced manner. The minerals in the water are inorganic, and the rate of absorption into the body is extremely high.It is said by the locals that ``if you drink a sip, you will live three years longer,'' and the water is popular as a long-lived water.
