Shiwa Rose Garden

A 3-minute drive from Roadside Station Shiwa, this rose garden is located on a hill overlooking the majestic Mt. Iwate to the north and the vineyards and countryside of the Akazawa area to the south. We have planted over 1,500 fragrant roses of about 610 species, which are rare even in Japan. The rose festival, which is held twice a year (early June to mid-July and early September to late October), is visited by many people from inside and outside the prefecture every day. Enjoy an elegant moment surrounded by the scent of roses in a special space with an exotic atmosphere reminiscent of southern France. Spring/Summer Rose Festival: Early June to mid-July Autumn Rose Festival: Early September to late October

Shiroyama Park

Shiroyama Park is a small hill located almost in the center of the town, and is said to be the site of Kosuiji Castle, the residence of the Shiba clan, built during the medieval period, and is a ruin of great historical value. In spring, the park is decorated with approximately 2,000 cherry blossom trees, and when viewed from a distance, the entire hill appears to be cherry blossom-colored. It is crowded with many visitors during the cherry blossom viewing season. You can walk or jog freely, or enjoy camping at the campsite. And the night view is also amazing. There is a monument to Kodo Nomura, the author of “Zenigata Heiji.”
