Daisenji Temple

Fukuda bread

This is a bakery that is so well-loved by the locals that there is no one in Morioka who doesn't know about it. It's sold at supermarkets, but if you go to a Fukuda bread shop, they'll add your favorite jams and toppings and cook it right in front of you.

Teramachi Street

The street, with its Nambu Ironware street lights, cobblestone-like sidewalks, and temple walls, was selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Roads in 1988. Nearby are Hoonji Temple, known for the 500 Rakans, and Mitsuishi Shrine, which is also a legendary place name in Iwate.

Urumi crafts

The tools used to make lacquerware, such as the lacquer bucket that collects lacquer sap, the feather that removes dust, the tools used for decoration, and the brush that applies lacquer, are on display, as well as the process of making a teapot stand. The master who has been in this business for over 40 years is a traditional craftsman of Joboji lacquerware, which is designated as a national traditional craft. Lacquerware made from natural materials has a pleasant texture. You can taste the real goodness.
