Kasuga style Hachiman deer dance

You can see it at the Yahata Shrine annual festival and Kochi Kumano Shrine annual festival. This deer dance, which prays for peace in the world, the fulfillment of five crops, and happiness for all people, was transmitted from Towa Town (formerly Ochiai Village). It is considered to be the northern limit of Taiko-style deer dance. There are a wide variety of events, including the first garden, scarecrow dance, robami dance, and gun dance.

British coast (Kitakami River)

It is located near the confluence of the Kitakami River and Segawa River, and tuffaceous mudstone is exposed along the river. Currently, they are not often seen, but they can sometimes be seen during the dry season. Kenji Miyazawa named it the ``English Coast'' because he said, ``It feels like I'm walking on the chalk coast of England.''

Usui Falls

About 15 minutes from Shidodaira Onsen, the waterfall is 20m high and 7m wide, and hangs over strangely shaped rocks, giving it the appearance of a thin layer of clothing.
