Korinji Temple

Hu Shio Shrine

It is said to have its origins in the Enryaku era (end of the 8th century) when Sakanoue no Tamuramaro enshrined Yakushi Nyorai when he headed to pacify Ezo. Although it temporarily declined due to a fire during the Tenbun era (half of the 16th century), it was a highly prestigious shrine that was revered from generation to generation during the Nanbu clan period and was given a shrine territory. In 1818, the principal image was changed from Yakushi Nyorai to Shonahiko no Mikoto, the great god of medicine, and it remains to this day.

Hanamaki Toy Museum

An experiential tree training facility opened in 2020 in the Marukan Building in Hanamaki City. The wood used is wood grown in Hanamaki and Iwate prefectures, and the processing and construction are carried out by craftsmen in Iwate prefecture. This is a facility where not only children but people of all ages can enjoy the charm of wood through toys and play.

Prefectural Hanamaki Regional Park

In addition to the sports field, there are many facilities that can be enjoyed by both children and adults, such as tennis courts and golf courses, and is used for excursions by children.
