Ishikawa Takuboku Poetry Monument (in front of Morioka Station)

In the plaza in front of Morioka Station, there is a monument with a poem engraved with the words, ``Looking toward the mountains of my hometown, I have nothing to say. I am grateful for the mountains of my hometown.'' The song was composed during his time working at the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun newspaper, and its nostalgic feel is familiar to many people. Additionally, the letters ``Morioka'' posted on the outside wall of the station are a collection of letters written in Takuboku's own handwriting.

Aya Sonoko Issaryo

There is a black stucco storehouse that is over 200 years old in Konyamachi, where many earthen storehouse-style buildings still remain. The first floor is Gallery Saisono, and the second floor is Issaryo (coffee shop). The light from the lamps gently illuminating the high-ceilinged interior and the nostalgic furniture will soothe your soul. Enjoy a relaxing moment with coffee and Chinese tea. There is also ``Aisono II'' in the back, which is a hidden art space.
