Nakamura Hankando

It is a historical site related to the legend of Yoshitsune's northward journey, and it is said that the master and servant of Yoshitsune, who escaped from Hiraizumi, stayed at the Hachiman family in Nakamura on the way and left behind fans and other items as a token of gratitude. After that, the ancestors of the same family built a shrine and began to enshrine Yoshitsune.

Hokan Shrine

It is said that Yoshitsune and his servants, who escaped from Hiraizumi, rested at this Takarahama beach along the Torijugawa River. Hokan Shrine was built by the ancestors of this area and was named ``Hokan Okami'' in honor of Yoshitsune. The shrine was burnt down in 1899, and a stone shrine now stands.
