Omonomi Park

This is the castle ruins of the lord of Maezawa Castle, and the row of approximately 200 cherry trees that are over 60 years old has become a famous spot representing the southern part of the prefecture. Additionally, there are many large trees along the 800m stretch of road that climbs from the bottom of the park to the entrance, making it feel like a tunnel of cherry blossoms. From mid-April to early May, the park will be illuminated with 250 paper lanterns and lighting.

Samurai housing

In the early modern period, Mizusawa was a castle town with a population of 16,000 koku, and the townscape still remains reminiscent of those days. Mizusawa Castle was a flat castle, also known as Wagyu Castle, but it was surrounded by samurai residences, and was a key point for the defense of the northern part of the Sendai domain, with key-shaped roads and squares that served as key points of defense in battle. . Even now, there are still remains of the castle ruins, including the Ubagisugi, samurai residences, Hibagaki streets, and merchant storehouses.
