Yonai Water Purification Plant

The city's water purification plant, located in Kamiumai, on the outskirts of Morioka City, is also known as a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing, and the grounds are specially opened to the public during this season. Approximately 30 Japanese weeping cherry trees are carefully protected as city-designated preserved trees, and the sight of them in full bloom is truly spectacular, as if displaying the dignity of the queen of cherry blossoms. The red brick building of the water treatment plant, which has a strong presence, also adds flowers to the cherry blossoms. [Blooming period] Early to mid-May

There is a black stucco storehouse that is over 200 years old in Konyamachi, where many earthen storehouse-style buildings still remain. The first floor is Gallery Saisono, and the second floor is Issaryo (coffee shop). The light from the lamps gently illuminating the high-ceilinged interior and the nostalgic furniture will soothe your soul. Enjoy a relaxing moment with coffee and Chinese tea. There is also ``Aisono II'' in the back, which is a hidden art space.
