Row of cherry blossom trees in Hongo, Totancho

In the spring of 1930, 2,800 cherry blossom trees were planted in the Karatan area, as a wish for the reconstruction of the former Totan Village, which was severely damaged by the Sanriku Tsunami in 1930, and as a blessing for the birth of the current Emperor in the same year. It was done. The main attraction is the row of cherry blossom trees in Hongo, and during the Amaterasu Miso Shrine Festival held once every three years, a procession of feudal lords parades under the cherry blossoms.

Former Kamaishi Mine Office

Originally the general office of Kamaishi Mining Co., Ltd. Nationally registered tangible cultural property. It is also the largest iron mine in Japan and one of the leading copper mines in Japan. This is a facility that widely promotes Kamaishi Mine. It's perfect for learning about history and geology, with a floor that recreates the Kamaishi Mining School and mining office, and an exhibition corner of ore from the mines.
