Kenji Miyazawa poem monument (Jodogahama)

In July 1919, he joined the Hanamaki Town east coast observation team and visited Kamiya and Jodogahama on the Sanriku Kisen, where he wrote a poem, ``The velvet kelp of the Uruhashi sea is spread out in the darkness of the light.'' Built in October 1996 in front of Jodogahama Rest House to commemorate Kenji's 100th birthday.

Hangan Inari Shrine

To commemorate the virtue of Yoshitsune, who left Mt. Kuromori and headed north after being holed up for three years and three months, a shrine was built on top of his buried armor. This is Hangan Inari Shrine, and Minamoto no Yoshitsune is the enshrined deity.

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.
