Kamabuchi Falls

Located in the depths of Hanamaki Onsen, the clear water of the Daikawa River flows down into several streams, like a tama-sudare, over a circular Oiwa stone measuring 8.5 meters high and 30 meters wide. It is said that Iwawa got its name from its shape, which resembles an upside-down rice cooker. There is a monument of Kenji's poetry.

Hayachine Daikonryu Tsuchizawa Yamabushi Kagura

The mountain worship that regards Hayachine Shrine as a sacred mountain has given rise to many schools of Yamabushi Kagura since the Kamakura period, and is now collectively known as Hayachine Kagura. Along with Take-ryu's Ishihatooka Kagura, it has been designated as an Intangible Folk Cultural Property by Iwate Prefecture, and its ancient beliefs have been passed down to the present day in their original form, and the mystical music and dance transcend time and touch the hearts of viewers.
