Kazuo Kikuta Memorial Hall/Festival Tradition Hall (Esashi City Tangible Cultural Property)

The two red brick storehouses used as memorial halls were built by Zenjiro Ohara in the late Meiji period. Tozo was used as the Kazuo Kikuta Memorial Hall, and when Kikuta and his family evacuated to Esashi, the view from the inn was the red roof of the Meiji Kinen Hall (then Iwayado Town Hall) with its pointed hat. We are exhibiting materials from his life and works, with a focus on materials from ``The Hill Where the Bell Rings''. As a ``Festival Tradition Museum,'' Saizo exhibits materials on festivals and local performing arts passed down throughout the city, centering on the ``Esashi Jinku Festival'' and ``Summer Festival.''

Miwamori Park

Located to the west of Mizusawa, Green Hill Mibunmori is a natural park-like area that takes advantage of the gently rolling hills to create athletic courses and nature trails. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn leaves in the fall, all year round. There is also an outdoor stage, a campsite, and an all-weather pool, which can be used for a variety of purposes. You can see a panoramic view of Mizusawa City from the observation deck. From Mizusawa-Esashi Station, transfer to Iwate Prefectural Transportation Haneda Ofunato Line Mizusawa Ekidori bus stop and head to Miwamori bus stop.

Hidaka Shrine

It is said to have been founded in the first year of Konin (710) in the early Heian period, and rebuilt in the first year of Shocho (1428). On the grounds is the Tachiarai River Monument, where Yawata Taro Yoshiie is said to have washed the sword with which he killed Abe Sadato. The main shrine is designated as a national important cultural property. It is also known as the shrine for the Hidaka Fire Prevention Festival.
