Wagagawa Fureai Square

Sakura Hall

Kitakami City Cultural Exchange Center "Sakura Hall" opened in November 2003. The exterior of the building is made of glass and has a modern look, with three halls: large, medium, and small. In particular, the stage in the large hall, which spans three floors and has six ``auctions,'' is expected to provide impressive stage productions for various performances. Additionally, there is a recording studio, an acting room for ballet lessons, an atelier for making stage props, a multi-purpose room, a meeting room, and a Japanese-style room. There is a restaurant on the first floor of the building and a counter where you can drink alcohol on the second floor.

Kitakami Station Tourist Information Center

It distributes tourist pamphlets for Kitakami City, provides information on tourist facilities, products, events, and transportation in the city, promotes tourism in neighboring municipalities, and lends out tourist information magazines.

Swan flying area (new embankment/Sango Bridge)

Swans begin flying around the new embankment and Sango Bridge (Kitakami River) from around late October, and stay until around April of the following year. More than 1,000 swans spend the winter here each year, bringing a sense of peace to visitors. The number of visitors is the highest in the prefecture. To get to the new embankment, take the JR Tohoku Shinkansen Kitakami Station and get off at the Iwate Prefectural Transportation Kitakami Noh High School/Hikashita Line Minami Junior High School bus stop.
