#Zazenso

To the east of Inaba Shrine in the Fujine district of Waga-cho, Kitakami City, there is a colony of zazenso that has been cherished by the locals. There is a wooden path, so it is safe to tour.

The Zazengusa Festival is held in mid-March, and the area is crowded with performances of local performing arts and direct sales of local products.
