Sansaikan Fujisei

Ichinoseki's specialty "Hitokuchi Mochizen" is a registered trademark of Fujisei. In 1991, we devised the ``Hitokuchi Mochi Zen'' to make it easier to enjoy mochi dishes. We pound the highest quality glutinous rice, ``Koganemochi,'' at our restaurant, and create handmade mochi dishes made with local ingredients. Of course, no additives are used. As a specialty of Ichinoseki, it is enjoyed not only by locals but also by customers from far away. When you come to Ichinoseki, be sure to enjoy freshly made mochi cuisine, the best hospitality in this region. We believe that our spirit of hospitality will be conveyed to you.

Former Tohoku Crushed Stone Factory

It has been registered as a heritage site of Japan's industrial modernization, and currently exhibits lime-related materials from the early Showa era to around 1930. It is also known as the factory where Kenji Miyazawa worked as an engineer in his later years.

Genbikei

A place of scenic beauty and a natural monument. The Iwai River, which flows from Mt. Kurikoma, erodes the huge rocks, creating a 2km-long beautiful valley that changes its appearance from a hole to a waterfall to an abyss. As you stroll along the promenade, you can see the contrasting views of the turbulent flow upstream from the suspension bridge and the calming depths downstream. In the spring, you can see cherry blossoms in full bloom and the beauty of the valley flowing with melting snow, in the summer you can hear the cool sound of a mountain stream, in the fall you can see the changing colors of the mountains, and in the winter you can see a landscape reminiscent of an ink painting. You can enjoy the atmosphere of each. There is a shop on the other side of the mountain stream that sells Kakko Dango, a specialty of Genbikei.When you place your order and payment into a basket hanging from a rope stretched over the river and hit a mallet, the basket is pulled up and replaced. It comes with the dumplings and tea I ordered. [Best time to see cherry blossoms] Late April to early May [Best time to see autumn leaves] Mid-October to early November
