millennium forest

The Toyama District Living Environment Conservation Forest in Unosumai-cho, Kamaishi City is a place where we hope that Kamaishi City will forever be a city rich in greenery.We will foster a forest of giant trees, preserve and pass it on as a permanent asset of the citizens, and promote the importance of greenery. In order to widely promote it, it has been designated as the "Kamaishi City Millennium Forest." This forest has promenades and parks, and giant trees such as horse chestnuts and katsuras with trunk circumferences exceeding 4 meters are dotted along the streams, and from the top there are wind power generation sites connected to Sankan Island and the Wayama Plateau in the ocean. You can see the windmills and Mt. Hayachine between the trees, and it can be used as a place for health promotion, socializing, and learning for children, such as forest bathing, walks, and nature observation sessions.

miffy cafe kamaishi

With the cooperation of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Dick Bruna Japan Co., Ltd., this is an original cafe in Kamaishi with the theme of Miffy, the main character in the rabbit picture books drawn by Dutch picture book author and graphic designer Dick Bruna. Although it is a character cafe that incorporates Miffy's worldview with its soothing colors and warm design, it is also a gathering place that is open to local people.

Hokan Shrine

It is said that Yoshitsune and his servants, who escaped from Hiraizumi, rested at this Takarahama beach along the Torijugawa River. Hokan Shrine was built by the ancestors of this area and was named ``Hokan Okami'' in honor of Yoshitsune. The shrine was burnt down in 1899, and a stone shrine now stands.
