British coast (Kitakami River)

It is located near the confluence of the Kitakami River and Segawa River, and tuffaceous mudstone is exposed along the river. Currently, they are not often seen, but they can sometimes be seen during the dry season. Kenji Miyazawa named it the ``English Coast'' because he said, ``It feels like I'm walking on the chalk coast of England.''

Shogyoin

At Shogyo-in Temple, there is a seated statue of Amida Nyorai, a nationally designated important cultural property, with a sitting height of 186.3 cm and a total height of about 1 m from the pedestal to the ring of light, with the Gochi Nyorai enshrined in the ring. It is thought to have been created in the Kamakura period, and was brought to Japan by Sakon Masuda of Higashiyama, Kyoto in the Genroku period (end of the 17th century), along with statues of samurai on both sides, and is said to have been enshrined in Hanamaki after having his eyes opened by Yuten Shonin in Edo.
