Honedera Village Manor Ruins

Not only do temples and shrines still exist exactly as depicted in the Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property, Mutsu Kokukotsuji Village Picture Map, but the surrounding environment and landscape are extremely well-preserved, making it a great place to stand on the spot and experience the world depicted in the map. As a very rare ruin that can be known, it was designated as a national historic site in March 2005, and in July 2006, it was selected as the second important cultural landscape in the country.

Flower and fountain park

The ``peony garden'' in the park of flowers and springs boasts 4,000 peony flowers of 320 types, which are said to be the king of flowers, making it one of the largest in Japan in terms of variety and number. In May, when the flowers are in full bloom, the Peony Peonies Festival is held with 3,000 peonies of 40 different species. At the ``Botan House'' in the park, you can try your hand at making stone oven pizza, and at the ``Community Plaza'' you can also try making herbariums and terrariums. The kids' land "Morley" in the park has an indoor playground for infants to early elementary school children, making it a facility that parents and children can enjoy together. There is also a dog run next to Botan House.

Ichinoseki City Designated Cultural Property “Former Numata Family Samurai Residence”

The former Numata family samurai residence is the former residence of the Numata family, who served as the chief retainer of the Ichinoseki clan in the late Edo period. It has a history of about 300 years and has survived the repeated floods of the Iwai River that flows nearby, without collapsing until today. In Ichinoseki City, the building has been restored and the environment has been improved since 2000, and this residence, which is one of the prefecture's best remains of a senior samurai family, has been open to the public since April 2003.
