Hayasaka Highland Visitor Center

Hyoto Exchange Facility

Located on the banks of the Yasuegawa River, where rare creatures such as the Japanese kingfisher and the Japanese white-spotted duck live, there are mainly mountain huts hand-built by local people, as well as bungalows, a kitchen, and an administrative building. The mountain hut, which looks like it was handmade, has a hearth and terrace, and can accommodate a large group of 20 or more.

Roadside station “Mitagai Branch”

A roadside station built on the site of the former Mon Elementary School Mitagai Branch along National Route 455 from the Morioka direction. Based on the concept of an old elementary school, it has a ``purchasing department'' (store) and a ``lunch room'' (cafeteria), creating a nostalgic space. Nearby, there are limestone caves such as Ryusendo Cave, one of Japan's three major limestone caves, a nationally designated natural monument, and Yasuya Cave, the longest in Japan with a total length of over 10,000 meters.

Roadside station “Iwaizumi”

The roadside station "Iwaizumi" is located along National Route 455, a 15-minute drive from Rikuchu Coast, and a 10-minute drive from Ryusendo Cave, making it a great location for Sanriku sightseeing spots. There is also a wide variety of local souvenirs on display, including Matsutake mushrooms from Iwaizumi in the fall.
