Koshi persimmon

Koshigaki is a specialty of Kashicho in the western part of Kamaishi City. When persimmons begin to grow in the gardens of Koshi Town, it feels like autumn in Kamaishi. Koshigaki is a type of persimmon that has been harvested and smoked in a persimmon room at an appropriate temperature for about a week to remove its astringency. After smoking, the color changes from brown to bright red, and the texture is soft and jelly-like, similar to a tomato. In autumn, the Koshigaki Festival is held around the roadside station Kamaishi Sennintoge. Please come and enjoy the taste of autumn in Kamaishi.

Roadside station “Taneyamagahara Poran”

Taneyamagahara, also called Mt. Mt. Mt. Miyazawa, is a plateau that Kenji Miyazawa loved very much. Kenji wrote ``Night on the Galactic Railway'' and ``Kaze no Matasaburo'', as well as many poems and tanka, based on the scenery and weather here. Roadside Station Taneyamagahara Poran is located near the entrance to Taneyamagahara, which is located at a relay point on National Route 397 that connects the southern part of the prefecture with the coast. The rest facility "Poran" is designed to resemble a star, and was built by Kesen carpenters who are proud of their traditional skills using wood sourced within the town. It is a great place to find souvenirs, with a variety of specialty products grown in the rich natural environment.
