Anmoura Waterfall

With a drop of over 100m, it is said to be the highest waterfall in Iwate Prefecture. Anmoura can be seen from the Anmoura Observation Deck, located behind the Kurosaki-so National Lodging House and descending the 262 steps. This is exactly the easternmost point of 40 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds north latitude. From the observation deck set up in a small space on the cliff, you can see the waterfall cascading down the cliff directly into the Pacific Ocean, and the thread-like flow of water adds an accent to the gorgeous scenery. . ``Anmo'' is a general term for scary things such as demons, monsters, and monsters in the Ainu language, and it is said that it was named that way because it was the place where these people lived.

Shirai Kaigan Station

An unexplored station on the Sanriku Railway, said to be the best in Tohoku. It is sandwiched between two tunnels, and there is only one forest road in front of the station, and it is far from the village. The station's nickname is "The Scent of Sea Urchins." The Shirai area was named because it is a sea urchin production area. The scene where the main characters run through the tunnel aired in the final episode of the drama "Ama-chan" is the Daisan Shirai Tunnel adjacent to the north side (downbound side) of the station. It is also said that the photo was taken in

Fudai Sluice Gate

It is a water gate with a height of 15.5m and a total length of 205m that reaches the mouth of the Fudai River. This is one of the largest flood gates in the Tohoku region, assuming a 15-meter Meiji tsunami, and it stopped the tsunami that occurred in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake from flooding into the center of the village. The water gate was completed in 1984 at a total construction cost of 3.56 billion yen. Nearby is a monument honoring Yukitoshi Kazumura, the village chief at the time, who was instrumental in this project, with the inscription ``What happened twice must not happen a third time.'' It is also certified as a geosite of Sanriku Geopark.
