Hayachine Daikonryu Tsuchizawa Yamabushi Kagura

The mountain worship that regards Hayachine Shrine as a sacred mountain has given rise to many schools of Yamabushi Kagura since the Kamakura period, and is now collectively known as Hayachine Kagura. Along with Take-ryu's Ishihatooka Kagura, it has been designated as an Intangible Folk Cultural Property by Iwate Prefecture, and its ancient beliefs have been passed down to the present day in their original form, and the mystical music and dance transcend time and touch the hearts of viewers.

During the Kunohe Rebellion in Tensho 19 (1591), Asano Shigekichi, whose family was defending Toriyazaki Castle, left all but 30 men in one group under his command and formed the Hanamaki Doshin-gumi, moving to the castle's Ninomaru Babaguchi Gomon Shimoba. He was given a residence and lived in the area (today's south of Toriyazaki Shrine). It was relocated in March 1980 for preservation purposes, and is a highly valuable building from the late Edo period as a samurai residence in the style of a curved house from the feudal period. It has been designated as a cultural property by the city.

Hu Siwang Mountain

Since Kenji Miyazawa wrote in his notebook that this mountain is ``the mountain where you should bury your sutras,'' the Kenji Memorial Hall and Ihatov Hall were built on the same site, which is one of the mountains with which Kenji has the deepest connection. Kenji wrote a poem about Hu Shiwang, and also mentioned Mt. Hu Shiwang in his unfinished literary poem ``The Hill.''
