Tenshoji Rest House

The Tenshochi Rest House is designed in the image of a rice storehouse from the era of boat transport, overlooking the confluence of the Kitakami and Waga rivers. Since our founding, we have been making ``Tenshojimochi'' every morning with a mortar, appreciating the variety of ingredients from the Kitakami region and valuing the wisdom of our ancestors called Shindo Fuji. The store sells products mainly from within the prefecture, souvenirs, and a restaurant.
