Suga Shusai Spirit Tower

Fukujuzan Anrakuji Temple (Matsumori, Iwashimizu, Senmaya Town) was founded over 1,070 years ago by Shusai Suga, the fourth son of Michizane Sugawara, the Minister of the Right, to enshrine the spirit of his father.In the back mountain, there is a statue of Sugawara, the god of learning. The spirit pagodas of Michizane and Michizane's fourth son Shusai Suga are standing side by side. In the memorial tablet hall at the back of the main hall, there is enshrined a memorial tablet of Shusai Suga with the name ``Fukujuinden Yasmine Shoraku Daikoji'' engraved on it. This is the spirit tower of Michizane Sugawara, the god of learning, and Shusai Suga, Michizane's fourth son, where parents and children who died far apart in Fukuoka and Iwate prefectures are lined up in the land of Senmaya.

Ichinoseki City Designated Cultural Property “Former Numata Family Samurai Residence”

The former Numata family samurai residence is the former residence of the Numata family, who served as the chief retainer of the Ichinoseki clan in the late Edo period. It has a history of about 300 years and has survived the repeated floods of the Iwai River that flows nearby, without collapsing until today. In Ichinoseki City, the building has been restored and the environment has been improved since 2000, and this residence, which is one of the prefecture's best remains of a senior samurai family, has been open to the public since April 2003.

Iwai Shimizu

It is said that Fujiwara Hidehira had Wakamizu drawn from here and carried on the morning of New Year's Day. A stone monument has been erected that reads, ``The forgotten water of Iwai in the shadow of the Tokiwa tree is a name that does not remember summer,'' and is where Iwai District got its name.
