Mt. Orizume (mountain summit observation deck)

Nature / Scenery

    Mt. Orizume is a folding screen-like mountain (852m above sea level) that separates the Pacific coast from the inland area. The Orizume course on the Ninohe side is about 8 km from the base of Tate Bridge on the Ninohe/Kunohe Line to the top, and takes about 3 hours. For this reason, we are blessed with a 360-degree panoramic view of the Hachinohe sea and the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. Also, due to the large temperature difference between the coastal and inland areas, seas of clouds often occur, and you can see Mt. Iwate floating in the sea of ​​clouds from the observation deck. [Period] May to November

    Hydrangeas at Tendaiji Temple

    Tendaiji is an ancient temple with a history of 1200 years. When Jakucho went to work as chief priest at Tendaiji Temple, he called on people to start planting hydrangeas in order to revive the temple grounds, which had fallen into disrepair after the war with cedar trees being cut down. Now, in early summer, deep purple hydrangeas bloom on the stone steps leading up to the shrine and within the precincts, adding a noble color to the ancient temple.
