    During the feudal period, there were markets all over Morioka Castle. Much of it has been lost to the times, but Morioka still has a market of simple humanity. Ihatov Avenue, lined with monuments to Kenji Miyazawa, is 400 meters long. The streets are lined with shops, and the streets are filled with shoppers. In addition to selling fresh vegetables, fruits, and pickles at bargain prices, you can also enjoy local sake and beer while walking.

    Yoshikuni Footwear Store (Nanbu Kiri Geta)

    Paulownia is the prefecture's flower, and Iwate Prefecture is known as one of Japan's leading producers of paulownia. It has long been called the "purple paulownia of the south" and is loved for its beautiful, slightly purplish skin. You can feel the culture of Morioka through the Nanbu paulownia geta, which is made by the only geta craftsman in Morioka and has fine grain and is light and comfortable to the touch.
