Wagagawa Green Park

Oni’s mansion

This is a themed museum that was established as a place to collect, research, and learn about various things related to demons. In Iwasaki, the birthplace of Oni Kenbu, we collect and display materials related to Oni, such as biographies, picture scrolls, and masks that have been passed down throughout Japan since ancient times. It brings to light the multifaceted existence of demons who have lived in the darkness, and asks us once again what demons are.

Kitakami City Museum (Waga Branch)

Opened in September 2016. In the history corner, you can learn about the entire history from the Paleolithic period to modern times, and there is also a corner to honor our predecessors who contributed to the development of Kitakami. There is also a wide range of exhibits in the natural field, including stuffed animals, specimens of insects, fossils, and minerals.

Ushigatayama

The mountainside is covered with beech forests, and the area around the wetlands and marshes is a treasure trove of alpine plants. If you follow the course from Natsuyu Onsen to Mt. Kyozuka, you will soon reach a turning point to Mt. Ushigata. After passing through a beech forest, passing through a wetland, and passing a steep climb on the way, you will arrive at a flower garden with flowers such as goldenrod. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. Altitude: 1,340m. The journey takes approximately 2 and a half hours. After coming down from the mountain, we recommend taking a leisurely soak in the famous Natsuyu Onsen.
