    Sappa Ship Adventures

    From Raga Fishing Port, board a local fisherman's small rock boat called "Sappa-bune" and take a close-up tour of the Kitayamazaki cliffs and sea caves. Because it is a small boat, you can navigate through shallow rocky areas and enjoy the impressive scenery. It's thrilling because even small waves can shake you.

    Sugakubo deer dance

    The Sugakubo Deer Dance, which has been designated as an Iwate Prefecture Intangible Folk Cultural Property, is a performing art in which participants wear a deer head that resembles a real deer and dance bravely like a wild deer. The deer dance is a performing art that can be seen all over the country, but the Sugakubo deer dance is unique in that it is a dynamic dance that alternates between the deer dance and the sword dance.
