Shiroyama Park

Shiwa Town

Central Iwate

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.”

Yamaya’s skunk cabbage

The skunk cabbage in the Yamaya district in the northeast of Shiwa Town is located at an altitude of 250 meters, so it usually blooms later than in the flatlands, from late April to early May. The Yamaya Skunk Cabbage Festival is held in late May when the skunk cabbage blooms.
