    The city's water purification plant, located in Kamiumai, on the outskirts of Morioka City, is also known as a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing, and the grounds are specially opened to the public during this season. Approximately 30 Japanese weeping cherry trees are carefully protected as city-designated preserved trees, and the sight of them in full bloom is truly spectacular, as if displaying the dignity of the queen of cherry blossoms. The red brick building of the water treatment plant, which has a strong presence, also adds flowers to the cherry blossoms. [Blooming period] Early to mid-May

    Morioka City Protected Garden “Ichinokura House”

    "Ichinokura House" was designated as a protected garden in 1971 based on the Morioka City Natural Environment and Historic Environment Conservation Ordinance. This garden and building have a long history, having been built in the late Meiji period by Morioka-born politician Hiroshi Abe (member of the House of Peers and governor of Tokyo). It was later transferred to Mr. Ichinokura and acquired by Morioka City in 1992, and even today it still gives us a glimpse of the past. In addition, the Ichinokura residence, which is located in Abedate, which has deep ties to the Oshu Fujiwara clan, has Chusonji lotus plants divided, and you can enjoy beautiful lotuses from late July to early August.
