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.

Roadside station “Mitagai Branch”

A roadside station built on the site of the former Mon Elementary School Mitagai Branch along National Route 455 from the Morioka direction. Based on the concept of an old elementary school, it has a ``purchasing department'' (store) and a ``lunch room'' (cafeteria), creating a nostalgic space. Nearby, there are limestone caves such as Ryusendo Cave, one of Japan's three major limestone caves, a nationally designated natural monument, and Yasuya Cave, the longest in Japan with a total length of over 10,000 meters.

Ryusendo Cave Wakka

The Ryusendo Cave Tourist Hall, which was located across from Ryusendo Cave, opened in April 2023 as a new exchange base, ``Ryusendo Wakka''. We sell a wide variety of products that can only be purchased in this area, including specialty products such as Iwaizumi yogurt, as well as vegetables and seafood from Iwaizumi and the surrounding area, local specialty sweets, and local sake.
