  • Hayachine Shrine
    Travel / Tourism
    Iwate Pref. Hanamakishi Ohasamamachiuchikawame 1-1
    A 50-minute drive from the Hanamaki Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway. This Shinto shrine is believed to have been established on top of Mt. Hayachine as a small hokora wayside shrine in 807 by Fujiwara no Narifusa, a descendant of politician and Fujiwara clan founder Fujiwara no Kamatari. The current main shrine building, a prefecturally-designated Tangible Cultural Property, was erected in 1612 and is an example of the architectural techniques used at the time, including a framework built around central pillars, and the carving and ornamentation around the eaves. The Hayachine kagura, a style of Shinto music and dance passed down via a shrine ritual, has been designated a National Important Intangible Folk-Cultural Property as well as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and each year on January 3 a stirring performance is offered to the gods here.

    Iwate Tono-shi Otomocho 33-4
    A shrine dedicated to Buddhist deity Fudoson. Fudoiwa–an enormous rock formation towering like a small mountain behind the shrine–is the principle object of worship. It has a long history and has been designated Tono Heritage Site No. 31. You reach the shrine by crossing a beautiful bridge with vermilion railings over a river flowing in front of the shrine. Every year in August, local volunteers put on the Otomo Matsuri and Ganryu-jinja Shrine Festival with a parade of participants in colorful costumes.

  • Unedorisama Shrine
    Travel / Tourism
    Iwate Pref. Tonoshi Shimokumichou
    A Shinto shrine dedicated to the god Unedori Myojin located a five minute drive by car from Tono Station. The shrine is said to have been built after Minatoya Heibei, an Edo period merchant from Tono, prayed to Unedori Myojin at a torii gate in the village of Fudai. The shrine is famously believed to provide luck in the fulfillment of love and is visited by many couples. Red strips of cloth are sold at an unmanned stand on the grounds, and it is said that you will marry your sweetheart if you are able to tie one to a tree in front of the shrine using only your left hand. Accordingly, the trees on the shrine’s grounds are covered in red cloth strips, creating a mysterious and magical atmosphere.

    Iwate Hanamaki-shi Atagocho 384-1

    花巻神社は、愛宕神社と稲荷神社が昭和30年に合祀され、改称されてきた神社とのことです。愛宕神社は花巻城の祈願所として創建された八幡寺の鎮守の神として祀られた神社です。八幡寺は神仏分離に際して廃寺となってしまって、説明板があるだけで、面影は残っていません。花巻神社は複雑な歴史があるようで、そのような歴史を感じるような神社でした。

Iwate Areas

around-area-map

A northern Tohoku prefecture promising peace and quiet, Iwate is sparsely populated, replacing people with snow-capped mountains, history-rich sites, and fields of crops that are to thank for the region’s delicious local cuisine. Meander along the three-city Golden Route, where you’ll visit the grand Buddhist temples of Hiraizumi and the Tono folk villages before tasting the three famed noodle dishes of Morioka.
