Hayachine Dam

It is a prefectural multipurpose dam completed in 2000.

There is a ``Friendship Bell'' donated by the Friendship City of Austria, and it is crowded with families, young people, and groups returning from mountain climbing.

Usui Falls

About 15 minutes from Shidodaira Onsen, the waterfall is 20m high and 7m wide, and hangs over strangely shaped rocks, giving it the appearance of a thin layer of clothing.

Lake Tase

Lake Tase, created by damming the clear Sarugaishi River, is a large artificial lake with a circumference of 45 km. Not only does it have beautiful scenery in each season, but it is also a treasure trove of freshwater fish, such as carp, carp, and winter smelt fishing. Approximately 200,000 irises decorate the lakeside from mid-June to early July, and in the summer you can enjoy lake sports such as canoeing and sailing. You can also get there from the Kitakami Ezuriko IC on the Tohoku Expressway.
