Morioka Tsunagi Onsen

A hot spring that is popular as the inner parlor of Morioka. It is said that the name ``Tsunagi'' came from the fact that a long time ago, Minamoto no Yoshiie would tie his beloved horse here to rest. Inns and hotels are lined up overlooking Lake Gosho, which was created by damming the Shizukuishi River. Nearby are Morioka Handmade Village, Koiwai Farm, and the area around Gosho Lake where families can enjoy nature to the fullest.

Sakura Park Himegami

Morioka City Sakura Park Himegami was founded by the "Furusato Tamayama-kai," which was made up of residents of the metropolitan area who were originally from the former Tamayama Village. In response to the donation of 10,000 Oyamazakura seedlings, the project was carried out over two years in 1998 and 2011. The hometown Tamayama Association and local residents planted trees in the Hito area to create ``Japan's No. 1 Oyamazakura Village,'' a famous cherry blossom viewing spot. Through outdoor activities such as recreation in rural areas, we contribute to the health and rest of citizens, and This is a park facility established to promote interaction between citizens.
