Flower and fountain park

Mt. Hourai

Altitude: 787.8m. It has been designated as a prefectural natural park conservation area, and is famous for its abundance of serpentine alpine plants, such as the Doudan azalea that blooms in early summer. From the summit, you can see the Kitakami Plain and Mt. Iwate in the distance.

Strangely shaped rocks “Meotou Ishi”

Located at the entrance of Tennozan Park. The black granite symbolizing men is a huge rock with a circumference of 10m and a height of 5m. There is a rock symbolizing a woman nestled next to it, and its placement is quite funny. Regarded as the god of marital harmony and the god of creation, many men and women come from all over the country to worship.

Surisawa Hachiman Shrine

According to the outline of Hachiman Shrine, it was built in May of the 17th year of Kan'ei era, rebuilt in August of the 3rd year of the Jokyo era, and rebuilt in August of the 13th year of the Kyoho era, and is an outstanding structure with excellent design. 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.
