anthill park

Ichinoseki City

Southern Iwate

Antzuka Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot located halfway up Mt. Murone. There are 200 cherry trees in the park, which bloom from late April to early May, and the ``Antizuka Park Cherry Blossom Festival'' is held, as well as other events, so it is crowded with many tourists. It is also the entrance to the Mt. Murone mountain trail, and many climbers begin their climb from the park to the summit of Mt. Murone.

In addition, the ``Hachiman Shrine Monument'' in the precincts states that Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, who had a difficult time in the War of the Nine Years, prayed for Hachiman Shrine in Yamashiro and was victorious in battle, so the shrine was built and enshrined here. The main hall is a cultural property designated by the prefecture, and houses the town-designated cultural properties, such as the Warabite sword and the armor of Surisawa Hachiman Shrine.
