Southern Iwate

History / Culture

    Not only do temples and shrines still exist exactly as depicted in the Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property, Mutsu Kokukotsuji Village Picture Map, but the surrounding environment and landscape are extremely well-preserved, making it a great place to stand on the spot and experience the world depicted in the map. As a very rare ruin that can be known, it was designated as a national historic site in March 2005, and in July 2006, it was selected as the second important cultural landscape in the country.

    Choshoji Temple

    The drum in the main hall of Chosho-ji Temple was created during the Ichinoseki domain era by Takeaki Tamura, who asked Rojuku Abe Bungonokami to grant him permission to play the ``Taiko of Time'', which was previously restricted to the Imperial Palace, the Shogunate, and the three major families. At that time, it was envied by the neighborhood and was even described in songs as ``too much for Ichinoseki''. Currently, the second-generation drum is on display at the Shinkansen Ichinoseki Station concourse.

    Wine Muroneju

    Muroneju is a wine made from apples and plums, a specialty of Murone-cho, Ichinoseki City. Apple wine is fruity and sweet, so it is recommended for people and women who don't like alcohol. In addition, plum wine is a wine that does not have the sweetness of plum wine, but takes advantage of plum's unique acidity, and is recommended for those who like aperitifs and alcoholic beverages.
