Sugakubo deer dance

The Sugakubo Deer Dance, which has been designated as an Iwate Prefecture Intangible Folk Cultural Property, is a performing art in which participants wear a deer head that resembles a real deer and dance bravely like a wild deer. The deer dance is a performing art that can be seen all over the country, but the Sugakubo deer dance is unique in that it is a dynamic dance that alternates between the deer dance and the sword dance.

Tanohata milk, ice cream, and yogurt are popular for their rich flavor and are made from milk produced with great care by Tanohata dairy farmers, and are the specialty products of Tanohata Village.

Roadside Station “Tanohata” Wind of Thought

“Roadside Station Tanohata” was relocated and reopened in April 2021, 300 meters north of Shizuo Bridge. We carry a wide selection of products from Tanohata Village, which is blessed with the natural beauty of the sea, mountains, and land. There is also a fast food corner that uses plenty of ingredients from Tanohata Village, such as ``Tanohata Raw Milk Softsoft'' and ``Shiitake Frank,'' as well as a restaurant where ``Milk Noodles with Lots of Seaweed'' is popular. In addition, there is a quaint simple lodging facility "Shishisokan" in a renovated old folk house nearby, and there is also a parking lot for 5 campers, making it a new base as a "roadside station where you can stay overnight." .
