Tsuriyama Park

Ichinoseki flourished as a castle town with a tamura of 30,000 koku. Remnants of that tradition remain in this area, and there are monuments to many of our predecessors, including Kogoro Takahira, Junma Nomura, and Gotoku Nagata. It is a popular park for viewing cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn leaves in the fall, and is a popular park for families to enjoy strolling around. It will be illuminated during the cherry blossom season.

Flower and fountain park

The ``peony garden'' in the park of flowers and springs boasts 4,000 peony flowers of 320 types, which are said to be the king of flowers, making it one of the largest in Japan in terms of variety and number. In May, when the flowers are in full bloom, the Peony Peonies Festival is held with 3,000 peonies of 40 different species. At the ``Botan House'' in the park, you can try your hand at making stone oven pizza, and at the ``Community Plaza'' you can also try making herbariums and terrariums. The kids' land "Morley" in the park has an indoor playground for infants to early elementary school children, making it a facility that parents and children can enjoy together. There is also a dog run next to Botan House.

Itsukushi Dango no Taka

``Itsukushi Dango'' is a fluffy and soft dango that uses non-glutinous rice instead of glutinous rice or dango flour. At Itsukushi Dango no Yakata, you can try your hand at making dango by cutting your own dango, skewering it, and adding flavor to it.
