Okubo Valley

Kubizaki

A huge rocky peak that rises to the east of the Ekiki Peninsula. At its base, white waves are splashing, and it's powerful enough to remind you of the maritime Alps. It is said that this name came from the head of an Ezo chief who washed ashore. At the tip of the cape is the Kubizaki Lighthouse, and the view of the series of capes from here is spectacular.

Choanji Temple

A temple of the Otani sect of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism that was built approximately 900 years ago in the city. It is one of the most famous temples in Tohoku and is a branch temple of Higashi Honganji in Kyoto. The original building was destroyed by fire, and the current one was later rebuilt. Among them, the Sanmon gate is approximately 20 meters high and is made entirely of zelkova, and the Taiko-do hall was built approximately 270 years ago in the style of Momoyama architecture.

Goyo Onsen

It is the first natural hot spring on the Sanriku coast, located at the foot of Mt. Goyo, and is gaining popularity for its abundant hot water and ``hot springs for beautiful skin.'' The spring quality is a simple alkaline hot spring, which is effective for neuralgia, muscle pain, sensitivity to cold, recovery from fatigue, etc. In addition, the exchange building is equipped with an agricultural, forestry and fishery product direct sales corner, a cafeteria, an exchange hall, and a rest room. The original kibi soft-serve ice cream that can only be eaten here is also becoming increasingly popular.
