Hei River

Tsugaru Ishikawa

It is a clear stream that flows into the innermost part of Miyako Bay and is known as the river where most salmon swim upstream in Honshu. The salmon catching event, which was first held on the Sanriku coast in 1973, is held every year at the beginning of the new year and is crowded with many participants. It is popular because it not only serves salmon-based dishes, but also salmon-based dishes. The origin of the river dates back to the time of the Motoki and Tensho eras, when many salmon were coming up in the shallow Ishikawa area of ​​Kuroishi, Tsugaru, so the sacred stones were divided and inherited, and in the fall, large schools of salmon started to come, just spilling out of the river. Eventually, it became the number one salmon river fishing ground in the south. It is said that the name Tsugaru Ishikawa came to be called Tsugaru Ishikawa, meaning Tsugaru's stone river, from the Marunaga River, which had previously been called the Marunaga River, thanks to the strange stones that were brought from Tsugaru. It is also known as a visiting place for swans in winter.

Kukai Plateau

A plateau that spreads out at the foot of Mt. Kabuto Myojin (1,005 m above sea level), which is characterized by its triangular pyramid-shaped top pointing toward the sky. The contrast between the beautiful white birch forest and the light green grassland is attractive. There are five walking courses, and it is a popular recreational area for families and groups. You can easily get in touch with nature by taking a walk while observing wildflowers or bird watching. Stop by the Kukai Kogen Walking Center at the foot of the mountain to pick up courses and information before heading out.

Namiuchizaki

Namiuchi is a dynamic rocky reef where the rough waves of the Pacific Ocean wash over you with spray. This reef is the end of the Sannoiwa Promenade, and the upper part is almost flat. When you look down at the ocean from atop an unfenced reef, the sound of the rough waves that resonates deep in your chest makes you feel once again the majesty of nature.
