Along the Kitakami River, from the foot of Sango Bridge, there is an approximately 2km line of cherry blossom trees that has been selected as one of the ``Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots.''
There are 10,000 cherry trees and 100,000 azaleas in the park, which soothe the hearts of visitors.
In addition, there is a rest house modeled after the rice storehouse of the Nanbu clan, a monument to the Kitakami Yokyoku song, a restored large sailing ship of the Nanbu clan's ship "Hirata-bune" in the Kitakami River cove, and 29 historical buildings such as old folk houses, merchant houses, and samurai residences. There is also the ``Michinoku Folk Village,'' a relocated and restored building, the ``Hachiro Sato Memorial Museum,'' the ``Toneyama Mitsuto Memorial Museum,'' promenades, and cycling paths, which can be enjoyed throughout the year.
