Former Goto family residence

Oshu Space Museum

Oshu Space Museum, which utilizes the former main building of the Latitude Observatory, is now open on the grounds of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan's Mizusawa VERA Observatory. We have a corner introducing the history of the Latitude Observatory and its relationship with Kenji, as well as a ``4-dimensional digital space theater'' developed by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan that allows you to view astronomical images in 3D. We also hold events such as nighttime astronomical observations and seminars.

Roadside station “Mizusawa”

Located at the foot of a bridge over the Kitakami River, this roadside station has a lawn and waterside plaza on the adjacent riverbed, making it perfect for walks, barbecues, and picnics. There is also a restaurant overlooking the river, a product store, and direct-from-the-farm products, and the rich ``sesame soft-serve ice cream'' made with local raw milk is popular in the special products corner. Other popular dishes include soba hatto and koji nanban.
