A miniature, less crowded version of Kyoto when there there used to be significant trade between the two. The grounds are great to walk around - the big temple is free as are the shrines and the Noh stage (check schedule for performances). The golden hall and new museum require a ticket- well worth it!

Nice preservation and restoration of the golden temple, which is housed inside and behind glasses. One can imagine its full of light and hope when it was first established. No photo inside the building and take the time to observe all the fine details.

Beautiful location and the grounds are massive. The gold pavilion is a neat site to see (though photography is not allowed).

Beautiful and historical place by Fujiwara family. It’s well-maintained. You can go around with a stroller from the parking lot, and enjoy the refreshing atmosphere with greenery. Konjikido is also excellent.

8/Apr/2025; visited around 4pm closed to the closing time. Few rains; light people around the temple; so quite and peaceful moment. Ticket price 1000yen to view golden pavilion. I gave 4 stars coz no photo allowed both in museum and the gold pavilion; i think allow and ask for not using flash should be enough.

We came here hoping to see the autumn colors. There was just a tint of red. I am going to make this my yearly travel destination. It’s a jem among all shrines

Beautiful nature walking to see the shrines. Calm and peaceful feeling. Walking up and round the area is free. Only go in to see the golden ji needs the ticket ¥1000 per person.

We visited the temple on Monday, just 30 minutes before closing. The ticket fee was 700 JPY per person, which felt a bit pricey for the experience. However, walking around the garden was peaceful and offered a calming atmosphere.

A famous World Heritage garden representing the Pure Land of the late Heian period Motsuji Temple is said to have been founded by Jikaku Daishi in the early Heian period. Its garan (temple buildings) were constructed in the later years of Fujiwara no Motohira, a powerful clan leader in the late Heian period, and during the reigns of the second and third lords, Motohira and Hidehira, it boasted such scale and splendor that it was described as "unparalleled in our country." According to the Kamakura period history book "Azuma Zei," at the end of the 12th century, Motsuji Temple had as many as 40 halls and pagodas and 500 monks' quarters. However, it suffered repeated disasters from the Kamakura period through the Muromachi period, and all of the buildings were burned down. The Pure Land garden and the remains of the temple complex from the Heian period have been preserved in almost perfect condition, retaining the beauty of the former garden. The world that unfolds around Ohara Pond, which covers an area of approximately 10,000 square meters, is the Pure Land itself. The area around the pond and the island in the middle are paved with pebbles, and the sandbar creates a beautiful coastline with its soft curves, the hills made of large and small stones create a cliffscape, and the remains of the pond are used to draw water. Enjoy this precious and famous garden that conveys the ideas and techniques of Sakuki, Japan's oldest garden design manual, to the present day. Among them, Dejima, which looks like a rough shore, is on the southeastern shore of the pond and is considered one of the most beautiful sights. You will be captivated by the mystical appearance of the two-meter-tall standing stones rising out of the water. The bush clover flowers in the temple grounds are usually at their best from late September, and the autumn leaves are at their best from late October to mid-November. Motsuji Temple (Hiraizumi Town, Nishii District, Iwate Prefecture) Opening hours: 8:30~17:00 (November 5, 2025 - March 4, 2026: 8:30 - 16:30) No closed days for worship Admission fee: 700 yen, high school students 400 yen, elementary and junior high school students 200 yen [Hagi Festival] Thursday, September 25th to Monday, October 20th, 2025 A dance performance of Ennen no Mai and a special viewing of the main hall will be held. Autumn Leaves Festival: October 26th (Sun) - November 15th (Sat), 2025 Performances of Ennen no Mai and other events are planned.

Beautiful scenery and not crowded. Can enjoy the calm environment and relax. I visited twice here in summer and winter.

This was really beautiful because we had just visited Chuson-Ji temple and it was only a short walk over to this Motsuji temple. Again remarkable simplicity and beautiful especially with the snow all around. It is a Buddhist temple and is known for its beautiful Phoenix Hall which did not disappoint. The Phoenix Hall is a wooden structure built in the Amida style, which is characterized by its simple and elegant design. The hall is decorated with intricate carvings and paintings, and its interior is home to a large statue of Amida Buddha.The temple was founded in 998 by Fujiwara no Michinaga, a powerful courtier and politician during the Heian period (794-1185).

A very beautiful and scenic Buddhist temple that is designated as an UNESCO cultural/heritage site. There is a also a very large garden with a footpath that accompanies the temple and its buildings, which are placed around a scenic lake. The walk around the lake offers very different views depending on where you are on the path. You can see sites of where temples used to stand (some were burnt down in wars, etc.) as well as the ones that still remain to this day. During the walk around the lake on the footpath, there is a large bell in a belfry, a gentle stream that empties into the lake, as well as a set of strategically-placed rocks and stones made to resemble a landscape. Most definitely worth the entrance fee. Very highly recommended!

A gorgeous temple with a sprawling garden with various temples surrounding the pond. I got the chance to go on a beautiful day with blue skies, and even mid-August, you could already see the changing colors of the momiji to a fiery maroonish color and a warm, pleasant ochre. From the garden, you could peek through and see views of the town and mountains. Overall, a beautiful temple with a rich history.

There are old temples and beautiful garden. In forth Sunday of May, "Gokusui no En" is held at this temple. It reminds an events for old Japanese Nobility. There is nothing to shield the sun so that you need a blind or sunshade in summer.

This temple was very majestic, especially the one partially constructed within the mountain wall. If you are day tripping around Ichinoseki, I highly suggest stopping by. Parking is available for free just out front. It only takes you about 30 minutes to view it all.

Had a great time exploring the grounds and taking some photos. It’s a small place, but full of wonderful little nooks and crannies to look in. There was a Buddha carved i to the cliff face and a priest chanting when I visited. It’s an awesome place to visit.

It was beautiful particularly in the fall foliage season in early Nov. There were not many tourists as we came in early morning. The entry fee is 300 Yen. There’s a carpark opposite to it and it’s free.

It's an interesting temple in a small but pretty garden. Honestly, rather disappointing. It looks like nothing special, and the interior is nothing to write home about, either. If you are by car, it may be worth your while to come here, but I would recommend you spend money on a taxi here and back.

A rewarding location for taking photos on beautiful fall colors with traditional Buddhist temple backgrounds. The entrance fee is only 500 yens per person. Parking lot is right opposite to the temple and it’s free.

A not-so-grand but still very beautiful shrine not to far from the more popular and crowded Hiraizumi area in Iwate Prefecture. The shrine is embedded into the natural rock wall, which intrudes into the interior of the shrine in a asthetically pleasing and beautiful way. The Bishamon deity is honored here and is an incredibly detailed and intricate statue. The small footpath/garden/lake outside is also very pretty and is a nice place to snap some pics during the right time of the day. Entrance fee is minimal, and a good-sized parking lot is available for free across the street if you come by car. Worth a look if you're in the area.

Pureland Buddhist Temple in the side of a mountain cave which was originally built in 801 AD. ☸️ Entry admission is affordable and there is also a relief of a Buddha carved into the side of the cliff there as well. While in Hiraizumi make sure you stop to see this often overlooked national historic wonder in vermillion and white. 🙏PLEASE 🙏 be respectful and observe that there is 🚫📸 *no photography inside* 🚫📸 the Temples as it is an active temple and a sacred space. 🙏 🙏🕊️🙏 @gabrielcraft.me

Real rando glass place with a Showa vibe. There’s a gift store that sells a bunch of random glassware and it’s kind of cool. Check out the super retro cafe on the 2nd floor. Worth stopping by if you’re here, but not worth traveling here for it.

The rather dilapidated park was playing spooky music. With few visitors around, it had a sinister atmosphere—but precisely because of that, it carried a unique charm. I quite liked it.

A great place to stop on your way someplace but couldn't recommend coming here otherwise.

Nothing to see. Old and not maintained. It’s like the 80s

In love with the glass shop. Some of the best souvenirs!

(Translated by Google) Visited on October 6, 2025. Sahara Glass Park is a retro shop with a Showa-era feel. Various glass products are displayed and sold inside the store. (Original) 2025.10.6の訪問。 サハラガラスパーク昭和を感じるはレトロなお店です。店内には様々なガラス製品を陳列･販売しています。

(Translated by Google) Retro Glass Park The shop had a lot of fun browsing, with antique-style items and sale items. Many tour groups park their tour buses in the parking lot here and head out to see Genbikei (Kakko Dango). (Original) レトロなガラスパーク ショップ内には、アンティーク風な商品も、お買い得なセール品も、色々あって楽しく見て回りました こちらの駐車場に観光バスを停めて、厳美溪（郭公だんご）と廻る団体さんが多いようです

Nothing much to see here…. Don’t waste the ¥1000 return bus to go there. The walking path is by the road, not by the stream. The Dango shop is just at opposite side on the road, what’s the point of using the basket 🧺 fly over the dango while you just need to walk 3 mins over there 🤷🏻‍♀️. The shops and restaurants are closed by 4pm. The suspension bridge is closed at the winter time.

A very nice place that we did not expected to be that interesting. It's good for a road trip because there is a free car park around. The scene of the gorge and the park is nice but the disappointment is the Goranba-bashi Bridge is closed. Watching the Flying Dango is very satisfaction which was out of our through. There is also a Souvenir store around with a super nice owner. I have a enjoyable time there.

The more energetic and masculine visit compared with the nearby Geibikei gorge. While the crowded area with where danggo is delivered via a basket was nice, it’s also worth taking a short walk around the area with less people. Found a hut at the other side of the bridge with a clear view of the gorge and few ppl in the area (though non-slip shoes are advised as getting to the hut involved some climbing down slippery steps - see map picture for directions).

Absolutely incredible! Beautiful gorge, very kind boatman, and a fun stop at the end. I won't spoil the whole experience but it is absolutely worth your time. If you are looking for the gorge with the zip line dumplings, that is Gimbikei gorge to the west of Ichinoseki.

More spectacular than on photos. You'll have to experience the majesty of nature in person.

If you're a first time tourist in Japan & you don't speak Japanese, please give this one a miss. The buses from Ichinoseki to Genbikei are not frequent. We had a grumpy bus driver who got super angry with us more than once: moving off the seat to adjust sitting position and for the card tap not working and him needing to reset the machine to accept the Suica card tap. The gorge is not worth the challenge of figuring out how not to offend the locals. There was a long line in the hot sun for the flying Dango and that was the only activity there. The gorge is roped off so you can only see it from the bridge. Old cafe signs for places that had closed. The Sahara glass shop was pleasant enough but nothing that wowed us. The best thing about this side trip was the friendly souvenier store owner who spoke to us in English and was happy to be so helpful. There are far more amazing experiences to be had in Japan. We could have spent more time chilling in our guest house in Geibikei or walking around Ichinoseki itself.

it's a small but beautiful scenery. the flying dango shop adds fun to the nature.

Had some udon and soba here. The food is simple and rather decent.

family ran style bussiness. gd homecook and gd taste meal. Japanese style dinning room

A local eatery. Very good Soba ¥750 though is the small portion, came in a large quantity more than enough for 1 person. The fried chicken ¥500 is very good.

(Translated by Google) This was my first visit. It was a little confusing. I was first in line as they had just opened. I ordered the Kansha Udon Set (mini oyakodon). Water was self-service. I also enjoyed the pickled vegetables (kimchi) while I waited. Before I knew it, the bowl arrived. The burdock tempura was amazing (see photo) and the flavor was delicious with the dashi broth! The mini oyakodon also had a soft, runny egg and was delicious. In addition to udon, they also had ramen. By the way, they accept PayPay. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 初めての訪問です。少し分かりづらい場合でした。開店時間直ぐだったので、一番目でした。感謝うどんセット（ミニ親子丼）をオーダーしまた。水はセルフサービスでした。それと、漬物（キムチ）サービスをいただきながら待ってました。そうこうしてると着丼です。ごぼう天が凄いー（写真を）味は、出汁が効いて美味しい〜！ミニ親子丼も玉子とろんとして、味も美味しいです。うどん以外にも、ラーメンも有りました。ちなみに、ペイペイが使えます。ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) "It's not enough to just have a firm texture." Eating this udon, I learned that udon noodles aren't delicious just because they're firm. The udon was perfect. The broth was perfect. Mixing it all together gave it a whole new flavor. Also, the Hinai Jidori chicken oyakodon was delicious. The flavor wasn't strong, but the broth was well-balanced, bringing out the flavor of the Hinai Jidori chicken and egg. Thank you for the meal. "Added August 24, 2025" The bamboo steamer soba noodles were also delicious. (Original) 「こしが強ければいいというものではない」 うどんは、コシがいいだけでは、おいしくないということを、こちらのうどんを食べてわかりました。 うどん完璧。つゆ完璧。まぜまぜして食べると、また違う味が楽しめました。 また、比内地鶏の親子丼おいしいです。 味は濃くないのですが、しっかりおだしが効いて比内地鶏と卵がバランスよく引き立っていました。 ごちそうさまでした。 「2025年8月24日追記」 せいろ蕎麦も美味しい。

(Translated by Google) August 2025 I stopped by on my way to Chusonji Temple. It's located one block back from the main street, and the road is a little narrow. There's a parking lot around the restaurant, but traffic isn't heavy, so you can park without rushing. It's called a udon restaurant, but they also serve soba and ramen. Neither the udon nor the soba was particularly memorable, but the prices were very reasonable and the portions were generous, despite being near a tourist spot. It really feels like a local restaurant. Personally, I liked how the oyakodon was cooked, and it was delicious. Thank you for the meal! (Original) 2025.08 中尊寺に向かう途中で寄らせてもらいました。 メインの通りから一本奥にあって、道幅はちょっと狭めかなぁ。店舗の周りに駐車場がありますが、交通量は多くないので焦らずに駐車できます。 うどん店となってますが、そば・ラーメンもあるスタイル。 うどんもそばも取り立てて何か印象に残るものはないのですが、観光地の近くにあるのに価格がとても良心的でボリュームも十分。地元の方のお食事処という感じです。 個人的には親子丼の火の入れ具合が好みで美味しかったです。 ごちそうさまでした！

(Translated by Google) I went there for lunch. There were only two groups of customers at around 1pm. It took less than 10 minutes for the food to be served. Bukkake Udon The cold soup with a strong dashi stock and the chewy udon noodles were delicious. 😋 There are a lot of chain stores opening these days, so the prices may seem high compared to those. (Original) ランチで利用しました。 13時ころでお客様は2組いる程度。 提供は10分かからないくらいでした。 ぶっかけうどん 出汁が効いてる冷えたスープに、コシを感じるうどんが美味しかったです😋 昨今チェーン店が多く出店してるので、そちらと比べてしまうと価格面は高く感じてしまうかもしれません。

(Translated by Google) Although it is a chain restaurant, everything I ate was delicious. (Original) チェーン店ではあるものの、なに食べてもとても美味しいかったです

(Translated by Google) Even though I didn't receive an appetizer, I was charged the full amount. The free coupon was not reflected and it was treated as no order. It was an assortment of sashimi. The food didn't come out and I asked for the bill, but they came back three times just to make sure. I think the quality of employees is not good. (Original) お通しが無かったのに、しっかり請求されてました。 無料クーポンも反映されず、注文なし扱いになってました。お刺身の盛り合わせでした。 中々お料理が出て来なくて請求したのですが、確かめて来ますだけが３回もありました。 従業員の質が、良くないと思います。

(Translated by Google) It was crowded when I arrived. Even when I wanted to order, the staff never came and the food arrived late. It was supposed to be a sashimi platter service with a coupon, but they charged me a lot...I understand that they are busy, but I would like to refrain from going there next time. (Original) 来店時混雑はしてました。オーダーしたくても、なかなか店員さんは来ず、フードが来るのも遅かったです。クーポンで刺身盛りサービスのはずが、しっかり料金を取られてました…忙しいのはわかりますが、ちょっと次回は遠慮したいです。

(Translated by Google) There was a TV in the room, so I was able to eat slowly while watching the Japanese series. The burdock chips were delicious. The veal skewers, shumai, and seafood dumplings were also delicious. (Original) お部屋にテレビがあって、日本シリーズを見ながら、ゆっくり食べられました。ごぼうチップ美味しくいただきました。子牛の串焼きも、焼売、海鮮餃子、美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) The staff's response and attitude were both wonderful. The things that have become normal are that the menu has a small selection, and there is a notice saying that the menu has been renewed, but when I checked it, it was no different from the previous menu. It would be perfect if they had a wider variety of products. (Original) 店員さんの対応、態度は共に素晴らしかったです。 普通になった点は、メニューの品揃えが少ないこと、「メニューがリニューアルした｣との表記があり、確認してみましたが、前のメニューと何ら変わらなかったことです。 もっと、品揃えが豊富だったら完璧です。

(Translated by Google) Depending on the time of day and day of the week, the food was served quickly and kindly. I think everyone has their own preferences, so this is subjective. Also, if you have a steering wheel keeper, there is a parking lot, which is convenient. (Original) 時間帯や曜日にもよりますが料理も早く親切に対応して頂きました。好みがあると思うので主観です。あと、ハンドルキーパーがいれば駐車場もあるので便利です。

(Translated by Google) I went to eat with my family, and it was a private room, so we were able to enjoy the meal while taking precautions against infectious diseases.There are many menu items, and you can also use Iwate GOTU Eat meal coupons. ＼(^-^)／ (Original) 家族で食事に行って来ました、個室になっていて感染症対策もバッチリ楽しく食事が出来ました、メニューも多いですよ、いわてＧＯＴＵイートの食事券も利用できます。＼(^-^)／

I came in late winter around end Feb when there was no snow. I was expecting to see the snowy gorge/ canyon but it was just bare trees. I think it would be good to come either in the peak winter time or autumn when you can see autumn foliage. The boat was packed to the core and the seat was super cramped. Cant even cross my leg and its hard to look at the view from the boat when everything is covered with plastic that is not see through. Its a touristy place.. Overall its still nice to visit if its convenient. In my case i came from Sendai so it took me almost 2 hours and costed 4k+ yen just to come here, its not that worth it in my case. But still super nice view overall. Nothing much to do in the area.

This River Ride in Geibikei Gorge was one of the best I've ever had so far. I visited this place as part of a tour with friends guided by a Japanese driving instructor. The scenery was fantastic, ducks, fishes followed along the way, and you could purchase a small plastic bag with food in case you wanted to feed them. We did and they followed us all the way. There were many caves along the way, shadows, as the boat rider did a fantastic job with jokes, talking all the time, keeping us amused. He even sang an old song dedicated to Iwate prefecture. A must go, if you come in iwate Prefecture. I only wish we had a little bit more time in the half way rest, so i could take more pictures.

Cheery boat ride along the tranquil gorge. Perhaps it was not the best time to come (mid oct) as the autumn colours have yet to set in yet, and there was also no mist (mist is often mentioned in the description of how various parts of the gorge got its name). Still an enjoyable trip with ducklings and huge fishes accompanying the journey. The boatman was also cheerily entertaining the almost entirely domestic audience, and also serenading us with a song at the end. A pity I didn’t understand Japanese, but it was a fun experience nonetheless. I bought on klook - about a hundred yen off.

As long as you make it on time, you could just sit back and relax on the boat to take in the great view of the gorge. You could also consider buying the duck feed and feeding them along the ride!

Such a relaxing experience cruising down the river and taking in the beauty of the gorge. I loved how the guide sang to us on the way back too! Although the tour was in Japanese, an English guide map was provided for us so we could follow along.

This was an incredible time! The boat man's song was soothing. The ducks are too cute! Recommend buying the fish food!!

Incredible experience, if you take the train make sure you get a ticket rather than try to use your IC card like we did. Singing of the boat operator was a special experience. Buy fish food right before the boat to feed the fish and ducks along the way. Afterwards there is likely a 2 hour wait for the next train, this provided time to eat at Delika and see the Yugendo cave nearby.

Boring, remote, and the ticket is expensive. Very disappointed. But the view on the way to here is very beautiful, especially the cemetery outside the entrance. You may consider going straight to Ryusendo if you have time. The ticket is cheaper and amazing.

The price point felt a little high for the overall experience. But it is a nice cave to walk through with beautiful spots in and out of the cave.

Fascinating! Lots of cool fossils and formations. Definitely worth a quick stop and 1100¥ per adult. The path is narrow and often low. Stairs and ramps can be quite steep. I would not bring my grandmother. There are many shrines inside so bring enough coins to make a few offerings.

limestone cave near famous touring spot “Geibikei” (boat tour). Narrow cave, up and down stairs a lot. It is about 30min explore walk. It would be too hard for elderly parson or toddler. Admission fee is 1100yen for adult. If you like fossils, enjoyable.

Amazing cave system. Granted it was my first time in a real cave. It takes about 20 min to travel through. I’m 183cm tall and I was squatting most of the way. Don’t wear a large backpack inside! You won’t fit!Half way through there is a fork in the system. One way is for children and elderly, the other is for people who want a challenge. Go down/left for the easy way, and up/right for the hard route. Awesome experience. The ticket was around 10$ per adult.

We weren't planning on stopping by, but had some extra time and decided to visit. It's less touristy than Ryusendo and the stairs can get pretty steep, but it has its good points too. We found it really enjoyable and are glad we dropped by!

I loved it here, it is a beautiful cave with fossils hidden in the walls. It takes about 30 minutes to walk through the entire cave depending on how many photographs you take along the way. There are a few narrow sections and quite a few stairs too! It might be wise to take a hard hat with you as it could be easy to hit your head in a few places.

Be ready for long thick delicious chewy noodles with the fresh taste grilling oil for the tempura, I recommend this place to any Soba lover. I ordered tempura Soba 🍜 and as usual it’s always delicious with friendly environment and a 😊 smile. Thank you 🙏 so much for helping me order since I can’t read the menu well 🤓.

We got there 10 minutes before the opening time but the seats were already full. You first place your order in the back of the restaurant near the cash register and get a number which they'll call out as they bring your food to your seat. Also, don't be shy about sharing a table with a stranger. Due to limited space you're likely to be day wherever there is an opening. I have never seen soba as thick as the soba from this restaurant and each noodle is super long. The noodles are chewy and the taste is mild. The dipping sauce was too sweet and too strong for my preference, however. Overall, I found it a very unique soba noodle shop.

The best soba restaurant I've been to

(Translated by Google) [250520] Tempura mori (1,450 yen) cash only Today's lunch is at "Aoba Naorian"❗️ The restaurant opens at 11:00, so when I arrived 5 minutes before, I was already 15th out of 14 people waiting. The restaurant is quite large and has about 30 to 40 seats. I ordered first and was shown to my seat. I received a slip with a number on it and waited. I waited for 30 minutes. Finally, the food was served. Ebi tempura with plenty of batter. And very thick soba noodles like udon. The chewy soba noodles were a little powdery, and they became empty towards the end. The batter of the shrimp tempura is hard, so I dipped it in the soup while eating it. I entered the restaurant one after another, and by the time I left, there was a line outside. It's a popular restaurant. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 【250520】 天大もり（1,450円）キャッシュオンリー 本日のランチは「青葉 直利庵」さんへいざ❗️ 11時オープンなので５分前に店着すると、既に店内では14名待ちの15番目。店内はかなり広く30〜40席ほどある。 先にオーダーしてから席に案内。番号が書かれた伝票を受け取り待ちます。 待つこと30分。ようやく配膳。 衣たっぷりの海老天。そして、うどんのような極太お蕎麦。 歯応えのあるお蕎麦は若干粉っぽさがあり、後半には空きてしまう。海老天の衣は硬めなので、お汁に浸しながら食べます。 後から後から入店し、退店するころには外待ちまで。人気店ですね。 ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) I ordered the tempura soba...❗️The noodles were almost like udon and quite long, so it was a struggle to eat, but it was delicious!! ️The tempura, of course, and the soba soup after the meal were irresistible!! ️You pay at the cash register in the back first, then line up...! It's been a while since I last visited about 10 years ago! I'll definitely be back!! ️ (Original) 天ざるそばを注文…❗️麺がまるでうどんのようで、また長さも長いので苦労して食べましたが美味い‼️天ぷらはもちろん、食後の蕎麦湯、たまりませんでした‼️最初に奥のレジで会計を済ましてから並ぶシステム…！10年くらい前に訪問してから久しぶりの再訪！また来ます‼️

(Translated by Google) Arrived at 11:30 on a weekday, and the first parking lot next to the restaurant was full. When you enter the restaurant, you go to the counter in the back, order first, and then sit down. The restaurant was full, probably because it was lunchtime, and it seems to be a popular restaurant. I ordered a large bowl of tempura (1,550 yen). Perhaps because it was busy, it was served 30 minutes after ordering. Since it was my first time, I was surprised at how thick the soba was. It was so thick that I didn't think it was soba, and it was so thick that I thought it was udon. Perhaps because the thickness of the noodles raised my expectations, the taste was only so good. Because it was so thick, it didn't mix well with the noodle soup, and I felt like I was tasting it separately🙇 The noodle soup was also very lukewarm, and the shrimp tempura also had a feeling that the batter was adding to the flavor. However, the soba soup after the soba was very delicious, so I will give it 3 stars this time. The staff worked efficiently despite being busy, and it was very pleasant to watch them serve customers! Thank you for the meal😋 (Original) 平日11時30分現着、お店横の第一駐車場は満車状態。入店すると、奥のカウンターまで行き、先に注文してから着席するスタイル。 店内はお昼時もあってか満席、人気店なのがうかがえます 天大ざるを注文（1,550円）。忙しさもあってか注文から30分で提供。 初見ということもあって、そばの太さにびっくり。そばとは思えない太さ、なんならうどんかと思うくらい太さでした 麺の太さに期待値が上がってしまったためか、味はそこまででした。太いが故にめんつゆに絡みにくく別々で味わってる感じがしました🙇 めんつゆもとてもぬるく、また海老の天ぷらも衣で傘増ししてる感じが否めませんでした ただ、蕎麦後の蕎麦湯がとても美味しかったです、そのため今回は星3とさせて頂きます 店員さんは忙しいなかテキパキと動いており、接客対応は見ててとても気持ちよかったです！ ご馳走様でした😋

(Translated by Google) Tempura soba ¥1,250 Arrived at 11:30 on Tuesday. It was almost full, but luckily there was a table for two and we were able to sit down right away. We ordered at the register and sat down and waited for 15 minutes (there were many other customers, but it was pretty fast). The noodles were so thick you wouldn't think they were soba! And the soup was thick. The condiments were white spring onions and dried radish (spicy). It was a perfect match✨ They often say that soba is easy to swallow, but this soba is different. Chew on it and enjoy the flavor of the soba, the saltiness and sweetness of the soup, and the spiciness of the condiments😍 It was about an hour and a half from Miyagi, but I have no regrets about going! It came with shrimp tempura and was a very satisfying soba💯. I've tried a variety of soba, but this is the only one. Even after I ate, customers continued to come in one after another. I heard that if the soba runs out, the store closes early. I recommend coming early. (Original) 天もりそば　¥1,250 火曜日11:30到着。ほぼ満席だったが、運良くテーブル2名席が空いており、すぐに座ることができた。レジで注文をして、座して待つこと15分（他の客も多くいたが、割と早かった）蕎麦とは思えない太さ！そして、濃いめのつゆ。薬味は白ネギと紅葉おろし（辛め）。絶妙にマッチしている✨よく蕎麦は喉越し、というがこの蕎麦は違う。噛んで、蕎麦の風味&つゆの塩味、甘味、薬味の辛味を味わう😍 宮城から約１時間半でしたが、行って悔いなし！海老天が付いて、満足度💯のお蕎麦でした。様々な蕎麦を食べましたが、ここは唯一です。食べた後にも続々と客が入っていました。聞くところによると、蕎麦がなくなると早めの店仕舞いごあるとのこと。早めの来店をオススメします。

Very friendly staff. We had the hot pot set. They guided us well and explained as good as possible how to eat. The broth was well balanced. You get to tear off small dough chunks and cook it like small noodles. We also ordered the set of mochis with difference flavors which were not all to our liking. The mochi itself was very pillowy. Thank you.

Great craft beers Decent assorted mochi Okay prices... Recommend trying the beer sampler, as each style/type of beer is quite different. Lots of salty, sweet, and umami types of mochi to enjoy here as well.

The local food at the restaurant was so gewd, and the beer flight was amazing as well. The architecture of the goods building was resuited with more beams for support, since it toppled over during the 2011 earthquake. I really want to come back for more beer, and to check out that dark and mysterious cafe. 5 stars for sweet staff members, food, and beer.

Free guided brewery tour, non-alcoholic beer tastes good.

Nostalgic restaurant with rice cake and hot pod. Design of building is beautiful. still same condition and used for restaurant. Souvenir shop is next to restaurant.

This is an old nihonshu brewery with a number of interesting old buildings, a museum, a gift shop with limited tasting, a cafe, a beer brewery, and a restaurant specializing in local delicacies. The nihonshu and beer are great -- especially the light and refreshing ale flavored with the peppery sansho herb. The food is great -- I got mulberry leaf udon, mixed mochi dishes, and tempura for a reasonable 1600 yen. Just the museum was not so interesting for 300 yen and I wish there had been more information about things to do there, tastings, and the food -- and I can speak and read Japanese. There are other interesting things nearby, though, including an old samurai home next to a quaint 19th century church.

Was there some time ago. Hope they bring back the night tour soon

River mist and old bridges, the air full of stories. Ichinoseki feels like a chapter from an old novel — full of warmth, slightly melancholy, yet proud. Tourist Tip: Transfer point for the Ofunato Line and Shinkansen. Visit Genbikei Gorge for dramatic scenery. Excellent soba and mochi at local shops.

Big station with many eateries. The pokemon train runs here on selected dates! Bus area is just outside the station, there is a visitor infomation centre just opposite the Police station where you can ask for directions. You can store your luggage here too, for 500yen for the entire day if I remember correctly, if you're just doing a day visit. Staff speaks english and is helpful!

They have Pokémon train but please check the schedule when is it available. Only specific time periods of the year is running.

The kind employees saved our trip by helping us with a last minute reservation (he made it while the train was arriving)

Nice !!

Thank you so much for your services and co-operation .specially the young staff (2021/05/18) (16:25) who helped us to get the train in time😊😊😊Appreciate the customer service of Ichinoseki station😊

I think I need to see a doctor. My noseki is really itchy

Sauce Katsu Donburi is tasty, only costs 870 Japan Yen.

Good fried pork and curry available right outside the station for a good price. The inside was quaint with friendly staff who provided fast service and an English menu.

(Translated by Google) I visited Shochiku, a Japanese-style restaurant in Ichinoseki. I ordered the sauced pork cutlet bowl, which I'd heard is a specialty, as well as pork fillet pork cutlet bowl, deep-fried tofu, beer, and unpasteurized sake. Everything was carefully prepared and delicious, and the pork cutlet in particular had a light and crispy texture that went perfectly with the sauce. The restaurant had a calming atmosphere, and the staff were very friendly and helpful, so I had a very comfortable time. I feel this is a restaurant loved by both locals and tourists. I'd like to try other menu items next time. (Original) 一関の「和風レストラン松竹」さんを訪問しました。 名物と聞いていたソースカツ丼をはじめ、ヒレカツ丼、揚げ出し豆腐にビールと生酒を注文。どれも丁寧に作られていて美味しく、特にカツはサクッと軽い食感でソースとの相性も抜群でした。 店内は落ち着いた雰囲気で、スタッフさんも親切に対応してくださり居心地の良い時間を過ごせました。地元の方にも観光客にも愛されているお店だと感じます。次回はまた別のメニューも試してみたいです。

(Translated by Google) This store has been in business for 104 years since 1919. The traditional sauce-flavored cutlet bowl and eel dishes that have been going on since the establishment of the restaurant are the signature menu items. The sauce soaks into the rice and the bottom of the bowl. This seasoning is similar to Nagoya's miso katsudon! And the cabbage has a thin and soft texture. Three tender and simple loin cutlets. It wasn't particularly flashy or delicate, but it had a flavor that was quite addictive. The name of the menu is "Sauce 'Aji' Katsudon". It's called this because it's a sauce, not a sauce. The sauce is made using the Worcestershire sauce method♪( ´▽｀) The more I learned about this, the more interesting it was. If you are interested, please enter the store name in the search window and look it up. (Original) 大正9年から104年も続く店。創業当時から続く伝統のソース味カツ丼、うなぎ料理が看板メニューらしいです。 ソースが米、椀の下までしっかり染みています。 この味付けは名古屋の味噌カツ丼並み！そしてキャベツは細く柔らかい食感。柔らかくシンプルなロースカツが3枚。 特にこれといった派手さや繊細さはないのですが、かえって中毒になる味わいがそこにはありました。 メニューの名前が「ソース『味』カツ丼」。使っているのはソースではなくタレだからこんな名前に。タレをウスターソースの製法で作っているんだとか♪( ´▽｀) これは知れば知るほど面白い内容だったので気 になる方は検索窓に店名を打ち込んで調べてみてください。

(Translated by Google) [250311] Sauce cutlet bowl (950 yen) takeout For dinner today, let’s go to “Japanese style restaurant Shochiku”❗️ Take out the sauce cutlet bowl. While saying this, the customer took out the food. I never thought I would eat sauce katsudon in Ichinoseki. Three large cutlets. Full of volume. The taste is also quite delicious. I wanted it piping hot. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 【250311】 ソースカツ丼（950円）テイクアウト 本日の夕飯は「和風レストラン松竹」さんへいざ❗️ ソースカツ丼をテイクアウトでいただく。 と、言いながら、お客様がテイクアウトしてくれました。 まさか一関でソースカツ丼を食べるとは思いませんでした。 大ぶりのカツが３枚。ボリューム満点。 味もなかなか美味しいですね。 熱々で頂きたかった。 ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) I enjoyed the pork loin in sauced pork cutlet bowl. The sauce was not too strong and had just the right amount of seasoning. Next time I'll go for the fillet. (Original) ソースカツ丼ロースを美味しくいただきました。タレは濃すぎず丁度よい味付けでした。次はヒレを食べに行きます。

(Translated by Google) The fried chicken is flat like a tonkatsu. The katsudon lunch menu is also available for dinner. Both were delicious. (Original) 鶏の唐揚げがトンカツのように平べったい。ランチのカツ丼は夜も食べられます。どちらもおいしかった。

(Translated by Google) I came here for the first time shortly after it opened. It's a hot summer day, so I decided it right away! I ordered hiyashi chuka. The vinegar and soy sauce on the noodles melted away the heat and cooled me down from within. It was very delicious♪ (Original) 開店早々、初めて来店しました。 夏の暑い日なので、即決！冷やし中華を頼みました。 酢醤油のタレが麺にあって、暑さも吹き飛び身体の中から涼みました。 とても美味しく頂きました♪

(Translated by Google) The tanuki soba and miso ramen were both listed as 800 yen, but the bill came to 1,650 yen. The waitress or owner was a very calm and gentle lady. There seemed to be many regular customers. The food was rich and sweet, and the portions were slightly smaller than average. I think the prices could be cheaper, and it took quite a while for the food to come out. (Original) たぬきそばと味噌ラーメン、どちらも800円と書いてありましたが会計は1650円でした。店員か店主の女性はとても穏やかで優しい雰囲気の方でした。常連さんが多いようでした。料理の味は濃く甘めで、量的には普通からやや少ない位です。値段はもっと安くてもいいんじゃないか？と思いますし、料理が出てくるまで結構時間がかかります。

(Translated by Google) Visited on this Saturday. I wanted to eat ramen, but it was 1pm and they had already run out of soup. I ordered Gomoku Soba (*ˊᵕˋ*) Soft soba noodles in a sweet and salty soup. It's a topping of green onion, chicken, egg, and bamboo shoots ☻ It went well with chili pepper (*´ч`*) (Original) この日は土曜日に訪問。ラーメンが食べたかったのですが13時ですでにスープが切れたとの事で。五目そばを注文してみました(*ˊᵕˋ*)甘塩っぱいスープに柔らかめのお蕎麦。ネギ、鶏肉、玉子、タケノコのトッピングです☻一味唐辛子が合う1杯でした(*´ч`*)

(Translated by Google) Entered the store for the first time. For now, I'll order curry soba. It's melty and piping hot with the ankake curry. It was sweet, but the soup stock was strong and delicious. The slightly thick noodles also coat well and have a deep flavor. Since it was over 30 degrees Celsius, I ordered a mori soba set for 900 yen. Soba noodles are thick and soft. The soup was delicious. Two pieces of sashimi and one bowl of rice was a pain... (Original) 初めて入店。とりあえずカレーそば頼む。あんかけカレーでトロトロ熱々。甘めだが出汁がしっかりしてて美味しいったです。少し太めの麺もよく絡んで味わい深い。 30℃超なのでもりそばセット900円注文。蕎麦は太くて柔らかい。つゆは美味しかった。刺身2切れでご飯一膳は苦行だった…

(Translated by Google) This is an udon and soba restaurant that serves delicious, thick, flat udon noodles. I ordered the popular Hana Udon, which is an exquisite combination of sweet soup and spicy momiji oroshi (grated radish with dried momiji leaves). This is my second favorite udon restaurant in Iwate Prefecture. (Original) 太めの平打ちうどんがとても美味しいうどんそば屋さん。 人気のはなうどんを頼みましたが、甘めのスープと辛いもみじおろしが相まった極上の味です。 私の中で岩手県２番目のうどん店です。

(Translated by Google) A restaurant in Ichinoseki City. I visited around 11 o'clock on a weekday. They have a full menu of udon and soba noodles, but they also have ramen, donburi, curry, and fried set meals. I wanted to eat ankake udon, but I also wanted to eat soba! So, I asked if it was possible to order a side dish that wasn't on the menu, and apparently it was possible! I ordered at ・Ankake (udon/soba) side dish 800 yen The rice bowl arrives in about 10 minutes. Mom, it's hot, so be careful! He will leave you a tissue. This unusual donburi is filled with chicken, bamboo shoots, shimeji mushrooms, and other ingredients, so you can't even see the noodles. There's a boiled egg on top. At first, the sticky, piping hot filling that resembles Japanese-style Tenshin rice is delicious, and although it takes a while, you slurp it up, then pull the noodles up from the bottom. The soba is thick and chewy, but it has a strong soba aroma that overwhelms the flavor of the bean paste. The udon noodles are flat noodles similar to houto noodles and have a chewy texture. Regular customers start coming in one after another around 11:30, so it's a popular restaurant. Thank you for the meal (^~^) (Original) 一関市にある食堂。 平日の１１時頃に訪問しました。 うどんと蕎麦のメニューが充実しているけど、ラーメン、どんぶり、カレー、揚げ物の定食もあります。 あんかけうどんが食べたかったけど、蕎麦も食べたい！ なので、メニューに乗ってない相盛りが出来るか聞いてみたら出来るみたい！ で注文したのは ・あんかけ（うどん・そば）相盛り　８００円 １０分程で着丼 お母さんが、暑いので気をつけてね！っとティッシュを置いてくれます。 イトジリの高い変わったドンブリに鶏肉、タケノコ、しめじ、などが入った並々に盛られた餡で麺が見えません。 上にゆで卵が乗ってます。 初めに和風の天津飯みたいなドロドロ、アツアツの餡は美味しく、時間はかかりますがズルズル飲んで、次に底から麺を引っ張り上げます。 蕎麦は太めでヤワヤワだけど、餡の風味に負けずシッカリ蕎麦の香りがします。 うどんはホウトウのような平打ち麺でモッチリした食感。 １１時３０分頃になると常連さんが続々と入ってくるので、人気店なんですねー。 ごちそうさまでした（＾～＾）

(Translated by Google) I was traveling from Kansai and wanted to eat udon or soba from Iwate, so I looked it up online and stopped by here for lunch 🙂 The store has a somewhat nostalgic feel, with the smell of the good old Showa era, which is rarely seen in the city. I ordered Hana Udon and Ankake Udon. I had the Hana Udon noodles cold, and my husband had the Ankake sauce hot. The noodles are extremely thick, about wider than kishimen, but they are moderately thick and soft, so they go down easily and are easy to eat. The soup stock is sweet, but the grated daikon radish with a hint of chili pepper makes it a light meal 😄 When you finish eating the noodles, add the udon boiling water and drink the soup stock. It's like soba-yu. The ankake is really hot, so be careful not to burn your tongue 😆 I finished it with a lot of fuss and a struggle! Both were delicious with a gentle taste, thank you for the meal ✨ (Original) 関西から旅行に来ていて、岩手のうどんかそばが食べたいと思い、事前にネットで調べて、お昼にこちらに立ち寄りました🙂 都会ではあまり見かけなくなった、古き良き昭和の匂いのする、どこか懐かしい感じがする店構え。 花うどんとあんかけうどんを注文しました。 私は花うどんで冷、主人はあんかけで熱々。 麺はきしめんよりも幅があるぐらいの極太ながら、厚みはほどほどなうえに、柔らかいのでのど越し良く食べやすい。 出汁は甘めながら、唐辛子がピリリと効いた大根おろしであっさりいけます😄 麺を食べ終わったら、うどんの茹で汁を入れてお出汁を飲む。 まるで蕎麦湯のよう。 あんかけは本当に熱々で、舌をやけどしない要注意😆 フウフウしながら、悪戦苦闘しつつ完食！ どちらも優しいお味でおいしかった、ごちそうさまです✨

(Translated by Google) [Parking is free for 1 hour in the municipal parking lot in front of the store with your back to the right] Jaja noodles (medium) 630 yen, Chitan (egg soup) 140 yen In Morioka, mix the leftover noodles with a new egg on the plate where you used to eat the jaja noodles, add the boiled jaja noodles, I used to add miso to adjust the taste, but the chitang (egg soup) at this restaurant is served ready-made in a separate bowl. I like the difference between the plain beaten egg and the beaten egg mixed with miso because the flavor changes. Jajamen's miso is not just miso, it's quite complex and delicious. It has a very strong taste, so you don't need to add miso, and adding garlic will enhance the flavor and I like it even more. I should have made it bigger lol (Original) 【駐車場は店を背にして右前市営駐1時間無料】 じゃじゃ麺（並）630円、チータン（玉子スープ）140円　　盛岡だと、じゃじゃ麺を食べてたお皿に、残した麺と新たに玉子をかき混ぜ、じゃじゃ麺の茹で汁を加え、味噌を入れて味を整えてたけど、こちらの店のチータン（玉子スープ）は出来上がった状態で別器で提供される。素の溶き玉子と味噌が絡まった溶き玉子の違いで、風味は変わるから好み。 じゃじゃ麺の味噌はただの味噌じゃなくて、結構複雑で美味い。かなりしっかりした味で、味噌追加は必要なし、にんにくを加えたら味わいが増してより好きな味。大盛りにしとけば良かったw

(Translated by Google) I decided to go here instead of a yakiniku restaurant because the reviews of their hiyashi noodles were good, but to be honest, I was disappointed. The noodles were not very cold, like udon, and the soup was different from what I expected. It is different from the Morioka hiyashi noodles that you get at yakiniku restaurants. The chicken char siu and kakuteki toppings were delicious. Since it's called Jajamen Honpo, maybe I should have just ordered the jajamen... (Original) 口コミで冷麺の評判が良かったので、あえて焼肉店では無くこちらへ伺ったのですが、私は正直ガッカリしました。あまり冷えていない、うどんのような麺でスープも思っていた味とは違っていました。焼肉店などで出てくる盛岡冷麺とは別物です。トッピングの鶏チャーシューとカクテキは美味しかったです。じゃじゃ麺本舗というくらいですから、じゃじゃ麺を食べれば良かったのかもしれません…。

(Translated by Google) A rare restaurant in the southern part of the prefecture where you can enjoy Morioka's specialty Jajamen. The portions are good and the cost performance is great. Please be careful as the satiety set is quite large and will definitely make you feel full. The stewed udon type is also quite filling, so if you make a large serving, it will be about 4 or 5 balls, so be careful. Cold noodles are recommended because they have a good amount of volume and are delicious! The yakiniku bowl is like a challenge menu, so be careful. (Original) 盛岡名物じゃじゃ麺を県南で食べられる貴重なお店。盛りも良くコスパ最高です。 満腹セットは本気で満腹にさせに来るかなりのボリュームなので気を付けてください。煮込みうどん系もかなりボリューム有ります、大盛にすると４、５玉の量になるので気を付けましょう。冷麺はボリュームも程よく味も美味いのでお勧めです！焼き肉丼はチャレンジメニューみたいな盛りなのでこれも注意です。

(Translated by Google) This is a Jaja noodles specialty store. The store is located along Iwate Prefectural Route 260. There is a parking lot. There is a municipal parking lot (municipal parking lot) diagonally across from the restaurant, and if you use your meal, you will receive a free 1-hour service ticket. There were 3 counter seats and 5 raised seats inside the store. The menu was posted on the wall. Jajamen also had a variety of seasonings. There was also a menu of cold noodles, rice bowls, and stewed udon. There seems to be a student discount, so you can get 100 yen off on selected menu items. This time I received the 2-color set. It was a set menu of jaja noodles with a half egg and cold noodles. As for my impressions of eating it, the Jaja noodles arrived first. It was a simple dish with miso, green onion, and cucumber on top of the noodles, but the chewy noodles combined with the rich miso gave it a consistently delicious taste. Cold noodles were served later. It was probably delicious, but I was disappointed that I couldn't really taste the cold noodles because the seasoning of Jajamen was stronger. The cucumber had a grassy smell, which was especially painful when eating cold noodles. I thought it was reasonable to be able to enjoy two local gourmet dishes from Iwate for less than 1,000 yen. Restaurants specializing in jaja noodles are rare in southern Iwate, and I think you can enjoy a wide variety of jaja noodles. I think it's also good for people who want to eat local gourmet food while sightseeing or on a business trip. (Original) じゃじゃ麺専門店です。 岩手県道260号線沿いにお店があります。 駐車場は有りです。 お店の斜め向かいに自主町駐車場(市営駐車場)があり、食事を利用すると1時間無料のサービス券がもらえます。 店内はカウンター席3席と小上がりの席が5席ありました。 メニューは壁に貼っておりました。 じゃじゃ麺も様々な味付けのメニューがありました。 冷麺や丼もの、煮込みうどんのメニューもありました。学割もあるようで指定のメニューが100円引きになるようです。 今回は「2色セット」をいただきました。 じゃじゃ麺半玉と冷麺並盛がセットのメニューでした。 食べた感想として先にじゃじゃ麺が届きました。 麺の上に味噌とネギとキュウリがのったシンプルなものでしたが、モチモチとした麺に濃い味噌が相まって安定の美味しさでした。 冷麺が後から提供がされました。 多分普通に美味しかったですが、じゃじゃ麺の味付けのほうが濃いせいで冷麺の味をしっかりと感じることができず残念でした。 キュウリが青臭さがあり、特に冷麺を食べるときに辛かったです。 1000円いかないお値段で岩手のご当地グルメ2品を楽しめるはお手頃だと思いました。 じゃじゃ麺専門の店は岩手の県南だと珍しいですし、様々なレパートリーのじゃじゃ麺を楽しめると思います。観光や出張でご当地グルメを食べたいかたにもいいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I used it for lunch when I was on a business trip to Ichinoseki City. Jajamen is a specialty of Morioka, but this is apparently the only shop in southern Iwate Prefecture. I was hesitant because there were so many unusual menu options, but I chose kimchi jaja noodles and the dish was served in about 10 minutes. As additional seasonings, grated garlic, sesame paste with spices, and grated ginger were served on the table together, and we mixed them with the vinegar and chili oil that were originally on the table to our liking. I ate jaja noodles for the first time in over 10 years, and they were still delicious, so I finished them all in one go. The Yakiniku Jajamen that my companion chose came in a bowl and was quite filling. They also have mega-sized Jajamen for big eaters, so if you want to eat a lot, give it a try. The store owner's customer service was kind, courteous, and pleasant. I would like to try the natto jaja noodles the next time I visit. (Original) 出張に来た一関市のランチで利用しました。じゃじゃ麺は盛岡の名物ですが、岩手県県南の唯一のお店だそうです。 変わり種のメニューが色々あって悩みましたが、キムチじゃじゃ麺をチョイスし、10分ほどで料理が提供されました。追加する調味料として、おろしニンニク、スパイスが入った練りごま、おろし生姜が一緒にテーブルに出され、元々テーブルに置いてあるお酢や辣油をお好みで混ぜて食べました。10数年ぶりにじゃじゃ麺を食べましたが、変わらず美味しいお味で、一気に完食しました。連れがチョイスした焼肉じゃじゃ麺は丼に入っていて、かなりボリューミーでした。大食いの方用にメガサイズのじゃじゃ麺もあるようなので、沢山食べたい方はトライしてみて下さい。店主の方の接客は親切丁寧で感じが良かったです。次回来店時には納豆じゃじゃ麺にトライしてみたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) You can enjoy Jaja noodles and cold noodles! You can choose the amount of noodles from 1 to 5 servings! You can choose from regular Jaja noodles to cheese, butter, tuna mayo, curry, spicy, and more! Chitan also comes in 7 different flavors. If you can't decide on the taste, try the Yokubari set, which comes with 3 types of toppings! You can also take out. Please note that the quantity of the full set is quite limited. (Original) じゃじゃ麺、冷麺楽しめます！ 麺の量も1人前から5人前まで選べます！ 普通のじゃじゃ麺からチーズ、バター、ツナマヨ、カレー、辛口など選べます！ チータンも7種類と豊富な味です。 味迷う方はよくばりセットで3種類のトッピング出来ます！ テイクアウトもできますよ。 満腹セットは量、半端ないのでご注意を。

(Translated by Google) I came across this restaurant by chance while looking for lunch spots on Map in Ichinoseki and decided to go there. I'd eaten here before in Morioka, but it was my family's first time and they were very satisfied. I ordered the spicy jajangmyeon, which was just to my liking and delicious. The chitan is a must, but the portion is large so I think two women should share one. When I left at 1pm they had run out of noodles and there was a sign saying they were closed. If you're visiting from afar, it might be dangerous to take your time as they close at 3pm. (Original) 一関で昼ご飯をMapで探していたら偶然見つけて行くことにしました。 自分は盛岡で食べたことはありましたが、家族は初めてで大変満足してくれました。 辛口じゃじゃ麺を注文しましたが、自分好みで美味しかったです。 チータンは必須ですが、量が多いので女性は2人で一つをシェアするくらいがいいかなと思います。 13時に店を出る時は麺が無くて終了の看板が出てました。 遠くから観光で行く方は15時までの営業時間だからとのんびり行くと危険かも。

At risk of artificially inflating ratings with foreigner opinions, we stopped here after visiting Geibikei gorge and had the geibi soba here - nice refreshing and very tasty, the curry and tonkatsu was also delicious and better than expected

good place.

Permanently closed

(Translated by Google) I bought a meal ticket and sat down. I ordered tempura and soba noodles. Both the tempura and soba noodles were delicious. (Original) 食券を買って席に着きました。 天ざる蕎麦を注文しました。 天ぷらも蕎麦も美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I ordered Geibi Soba at Geibi Rest House. It was 100% buckwheat soba, and the toppings of nameko mushrooms, eggs, sashimi, and wild vegetables were very delicious. There was almost no waiting time. I even got some soba soup, and was very satisfied. (Original) げいびレストハウスにて、げいび蕎麦を注文。十割蕎麦で、トッピングのなめこや卵、お刺身、山菜も非常に美味しい。待ち時間ほぼなし。蕎麦湯までいただき、満足。

(Translated by Google) There was a sweetfish rice dish, limited to 10 servings per day. The appearance was very appealing, but the taste was average... I think it would be nice to eat it as a memory😌 (Original) 1日10食限定で鮎の炊き込みご飯がありました。見た目にすごく惹かれるものがありましたが、味は普通かな…思い出として食べるのはいいと思います😌

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time on a Sunday in mid-July 2022. We arrived around 11:30 and went in for lunch. Using the system where you pay first, this time I ordered Geibisoba, which is a specialty of our restaurant. The soba noodles were topped with various toppings such as sashimi, raw eggs, tempura, wild vegetables, mushrooms, green onions, and seaweed, and were eaten by mixing them with mentsuyu. When I first ate the sashimi and then mixed it with raw egg and mixed it with beaten mentsuyu, it turned out to be much more delicious than I expected. It's true that they are commonly used as ingredients for soba noodles, so there's no way they wouldn't go well together. It's only natural that it's delicious because you can taste it all at once. It was really delicious. I was the type of person who had to pick up water, tea, and soba hot water by myself, but the tea and soba hot water had a disinfectant or rather medicinal smell, which was very disappointing. If it was just tea, it would be fine if I didn't drink it, but I was in a state where I felt that way even with soba hot water, so even if I added mentsuyu, it smelled so bad that I didn't want to drink it. The soba noodles were delicious, so I wish they would have paid a little more attention to that aspect. (Original) 2022年7月中旬の日曜日に初めて訪れました。 到着したのが11:30頃でお昼ご飯を食べに入りました。 先に会計をするシステムで、今回は当店の名物となっていた、げいびそばを注文。 お蕎麦の上に、お刺身、生卵、天かす、山菜、きのこ、ネギ、海藻類などいろんな具が乗っていて、めんつゆをかけて混ぜて食べるというスタイルでした。 刺身だけ先に食べて、生卵を溶きめんつゆをかけながら混ぜて食べてみると、思ったよりもかなり美味しい。 確かにそれぞれお蕎麦の具としては通常使われている物なので、合わないはずがない。 それが一気に味わえるんだから旨くて当たり前なのかも。 本当に美味しかったです。 水やお茶、そば湯などセルフで取りに行くタイプでしたが、お茶とそば湯が消毒臭いというか、薬臭いような感じがして、とても残念でした。 お茶だけなら飲まなければ良いだけですがそば湯までそう感じてしまう状態だったので、めんつゆを入れても臭くて飲むのが嫌になりました。 お蕎麦は美味しかったので、その辺ももうちょっと気にしてもらえればなと思いました。

We visited during the weekday around noon, and there were very few people around. The place is large, but as it's a historical theme park, there’s not much to do beyond exploring. The ticket price, about 1,000 JPY per person, seems reasonable if you enjoy this type of attraction. The activities available include archery (which seems geared towards kids), taking 3D photos, and wearing traditional Heian clothing for photos. These activities are self-guided, and we only encountered staff at the gate and construction site—there were none near the activities themselves. A place you might enjoy if you have plenty of time to spare.

An experience of the culture of Japan and Tohoku region of 10 centuries ago. Used as a filming location for numerous TV dramas and movies. This theme park in the style of a capital city exudes a rich cultural heritage with its magnificent red buildings and exquisite landscapes gardens. The atmosphere here evokes memories of the heyday of Kyoto or Hiraizumi.

Very nice place and very good service staff and kindly to explain and introduce the facilities of the village. It can experience good old Japan dressed styles. Very enjoyable on it.

Fun and interesting place to visit. You can explore where several popular movies were filmed.

Strictly for Japanese history buffs but also good for the average tourists who want a taste of ancient Japan and the lifestyle of that time. The full course is over 2 hours but there is a shorter route of about 50 minutes which also includes a free photo in traditional costume. You get a packet of peanuts and a KAIRO (pocket size warmer) with the entrance ticket. I visited the place in winters and had the place to myself on a Saturday afternoon. It looks beautiful when covered in snow and the contrast with the blue sky/orange buildings is quite good.

Here it is possible to imagine what it was like in the era of 1100s' Japan. The rulers here tried to maintain peace and prosper. Before visiting Hiraizumi, where many spots are registered as world heritage, it is good to come here first as an introduction.

Visited there at 15:30, but the gate would close at 16:00. Better to visit this heritage park in the morning.

(Translated by Google) I went to see the ruins of Muryokoin Temple in Hiraizumi Town. The water surface was sparkling and beautiful. (Original) 平泉町の無量光院跡を鑑賞してきました。水面の水面が、輝いて美しく綺麗でした✨

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on Sunday, September 28, 2025 on my way to Chusonji Temple. The site has been well maintained. (Original) 2025年9月28日(日)に中尊寺に行く途中に寄りました。 跡地でもしっかり整備されています。

(Translated by Google) There used to be a 12th century temple here, called Muryokoin, that was built by Fujiwara Hidehira, the third head of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, who ruled the Tohoku region around the end of the Heian period. The temple itself no longer exists, only the remains, and it seems that the state of the building at that time is unknown. However, after excavation of the remains, the scale and ancillary facilities (gardens, earthworks, etc.) at that time have been clarified to some extent, and what is visible above ground seems to be a reproduction of the pond garden at that time based on that investigation. Apparently, the pond is sometimes filled with water depending on the season, but there was no water when I visited in early spring. For this reason, at first glance it looked like just a flat area of ​​grass. There is a signboard where you can read the explanation of the historical site, and there is no admission fee, so it is nice that it doesn't cost anything to see it. (Original) 平安時代の末頃に東北地方を版図に収めていた奥州藤原氏の三代目、藤原秀衡が建立したという12世紀の寺院がかつてこの場所にあり、無量光院と呼ばれていたらしい。 伽藍そのものは残っておらず、遺構のみが残されており、当時の建物の様子は不明らしい。ただ遺構の発掘調査を経て当時の規模や附属設備（庭園や土塁など）についてはある程度判明したようで、いま地上に見えているのはその調査をもとに当時の池泉式庭園を再現したもののようだ。 季節によっては池に水を張ることもあるらしいが、私が訪ねた春先には水は張っていなかった。このため一見するとただの芝の平地のように見えた。 一応、案内板があって史跡の説明を読むことができるのと、特に拝観料の類はないので眺めるのにお金がかからないのもよい。

(Translated by Google) This temple was built by the third lord, Hidehira. There was a pond in the center of the vast grounds, and the main hall, the Amida Hall, was built on an island in the pond. Although all of the buildings have been lost, excavations have been carried out and restoration work is currently underway, focusing on the pond. (Original) 三代 秀衡が建立した寺院。広大な境内地の中心に池があり、その中島に本堂となる阿弥陀堂が建てられていた。建物は全て失われたものの、発掘調査を進め、現在は池を中心に復元整備を行っている。

(Translated by Google) Muryokoin was built by the Oshu Fujiwara clan during the Heian period. After the fall of the Fujiwara clan, the temple was burned down in wars and wildfires and was never rebuilt. Currently, only the ruins remain. (Original) 平安時代に奥州藤原氏によって建立された無量光院。藤原氏の滅亡後に戦火や野火で伽藍が焼失してしまって再建されることはなかったそうです。現在では跡地だけです。

(Translated by Google) The Muryokoin Temple Ruins were registered as a World Heritage Site in 2011 as part of the "Cultural Heritage of Hiraizumi." These are the remains of a temple built by Fujiwara Hidehira, the third head of the Oshu Fujiwara clan. It was modeled after the Phoenix Hall of Byodoin Temple in Uji, Kyoto, but excavations have revealed that it was larger than Byodoin Temple. Muryokoin Temple's complex was a Pure Land garden centered around the Amida Hall, with Mount Kinkei located behind it (to the west). This layout was calculated to allow visitors to experience the sight of the sun setting over the ridge of Mount Kinkei twice a year, in spring and autumn, as a Buddhist paradise. This unique expression of Hiraizumi's Pure Land philosophy, distinct from Byodoin Temple, has earned it international acclaim. After the fall of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, the temple was destroyed by repeated fires, and now only the remains of the pond, the island, and foundation stones remain. (Original) ​2011年に「平泉の文化遺産」の一部として世界遺産に登録された『無量光院跡』です。 奥州藤原氏三代・藤原秀衡が建立した寺院の跡です。京都の宇治平等院鳳凰堂を模して造られましたが、発掘調査により、平等院よりも規模が大きかったことが判明しています。 ​ 無量光院の伽藍は、阿弥陀堂を中心とする浄土庭園で、その背後（西方）には金鶏山が位置していました。この配置は、春と秋の年2回、金鶏山の稜線に夕日が沈む様子を、仏教の極楽浄土の光景として体感できるよう計算されたものです。これは平等院とは異なる平泉独自の浄土思想を表現しており、世界的にも高く評価されています。 ​ 奥州藤原氏の滅亡後、度重なる火災によって建物は焼失し、現在は池の跡や中島、礎石などが残るのみとなっています。

(Translated by Google) East Byodo-in Temple This is the remains of a temple built by Fujiwara Hidehira, modeled after the Phoenix Hall of Byodo-in Temple in Uji. Most of the ruins have been turned into rice paddies, and only the remains of the pond, the island, and the foundation stones remain. The center line of the temple, which runs north to south, passes through the east gate, the island, and the main hall, and is connected to Kinkeiyama in a straight line. Twice a year, in spring and autumn, the sun sets over the ridgeline in the evening, and the most majestic sunset of the day appears. This space was designed and calculated to allow visitors to experience a paradise that is different from the scenery of Byodo-in Temple. Since it was registered as a World Heritage Site, excavation surveys of the historical site and development of the surrounding area have been carried out, and the scenery of the area is being preserved. There is nothing there now, so you can visit for free, but if you imagine East Byodo-in Temple standing here, a wonderful scene comes to mind. (Original) 東の平等院 藤原秀衡が、宇治平等院の鳳凰堂にならい建立した寺院跡です。遺跡のほとんどが水田化し、池跡、中島、礎石のみが残っています。南北に長い伽藍の中心線は、東門・中島・本堂を貫いて、その先の金鶏山と直線で結ばれます。春と秋の年2回、その稜線上には、夕刻になると日輪が下がり、一日のうちで最も荘厳な落日の一瞬が現れます。平等院の景観とは異なった、極楽浄土を体感できるよう計算し設計された空間です。世界遺産登録をうけて、史跡の発掘調査および周辺の整備などが行われ、一帯の景観保全が進められています。 今は何も無いので無料で観ることが出来ますが、ここに東の平等院が建っていたことを想像すると、素晴らしい光景が頭の中に浮かんで来ます。

7/7/2023 Ticket 1000 Few walking path with a lot of flowers

(Translated by Google) First visit to Michinoku Hydrangea Garden (July 1, 2025) This was another place I wanted to visit for the Tohoku Hydrangeas, and it was about a 15-minute drive from Hiraizumi Roadside Station. Entrance fee: ¥1000 Cart: ¥800 (reservations recommended) The Hydrangea Pond is scheduled to open from July 4th to 21st this year, and I couldn't see the photos on the poster. Overall, it's still early, and it's expected to be in full bloom around this weekend. The hydrangea garden was built by cutting down cedar trees, and it is one of the largest hydrangea gardens in Japan, boasting an area equivalent to four Tokyo Domes (about 3km around the garden on the mountain path). I had expected to go up and down the mountain, so I wore trekking shoes, but after looking at the route on the signboard, I got on the cart, which costs extra (lol) (Cards cannot be used to get off mid-way) Well, I guess it's like viewing it on the Hakone Tozan Railway's Hydrangea Train. The driver explained things to us in Iwate dialect, so it was fun to chat while admiring the flowers (lol). It would take more than half a day to walk around and enjoy the flowers, and since they bloom at different times, it might be best to take a cart around and then walk to the spots that interest you to take photos. I saw some varieties I had never seen before, such as variegated hydrangeas with white bands around the leaves and climbing hydrangeas that wrap around trees and grow upwards. (Original) みちのくあじさい園に初出没(2025.7.1) 今回の東北紫陽花で行きたかったもう一つのところで、道の駅平泉から車で15分ほどでした。 入園料¥1000 カート¥800(予約をオススメします) あじさいの池は今年は7月4日〜21日の予定で、ポスターの写真は見れませんでした。 全体的にはこれからで、今週末位からが見頃になると思われます。 杉山を採伐しながらアジサイ園を作り上げたらしく、東京ドーム4個分(山道の園内周回約3km)の広さを誇る日本最大級のあじさい園です。 山のアップダウンは想定していたのでトレッキングシューズは履いて来ましたが、案内板のルートを見て、別料金のカートに乗りました(笑) (カードは途中下車不可) まあ、箱根登山鉄道のあじさい電車で観賞するイメージかな。 ドライバーのおっちゃんの岩手弁解説付きで、雑談しながらの鑑賞も楽しかったです(笑) 全て徒歩で観賞しながら一回りすると半日以上はかかりそうで、開花がバラバラなのでカートで一回りして、気になるポイントに徒歩で写活に向かうのが正解かも知れません。 葉の周りに白い帯の有る斑入(ふいり)あじさいや、木に巻き付き上に伸びたつるあじさい等初めて見た品種も有りました。

(Translated by Google) Visited on July 13th. The grounds are well maintained and the hydrangeas are in full bloom. The walkways are paved with crushed stone and have some ups and downs, so we recommend bringing water and a towel and wearing comfortable clothing. For older people, there is a paid cart service that will take you around the garden, so you may want to consider using this. We visited at a good time, and the sight of the various hydrangeas in full bloom was truly spectacular. The pond with hydrangeas floating in it was also beautiful. (Original) 7月13日訪問。全体的に手入れが行き届き、紫陽花も見頃。 歩道は砕石が敷き詰められ、アップダウンもあるため、水分やタオル持参のうえ、歩き易い格好で行く事を薦めます。 年配の方は、有料カートで園内を周回するサービスがあるので、利用を検討しても良いでしょう。 今回の訪問は時期が良かったようで、さまざまな紫陽花が咲き誇る様がまさに圧巻の一言。紫陽花を浮かべた池も綺麗。

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time on Sunday, July 13th. As it is the largest hydrangea circle in Japan, the garden was extremely spacious. Incidentally, the staff member said that it was the size of four Tokyo Domes. It took me more than two hours to walk around slowly, taking photos as I went. The "Hydrangea Festival" will be open until Monday, July 21st, a national holiday. There is still one week to go. If you are interested, please come and see it! Even if you are not confident in your legs and back, you will have to pay an additional fee in addition to the admission fee! Don't worry, you can ride a cart around the garden. (Original) 7月13(日)初めて訪問しました。日本一のあじさい圓とあって園内はとにかく広かったです。因みに、スタッフさんが言うには東京ドーム4個分あると言ってました。私も撮影しながらゆっくりと歩いて2時間以上かかりました。 「あじさいまつり」は7月21日(月)祝日まで開園するとの事です。あと一週間有ります。気になった方は足を運んで見て下さいね！足腰に自信のない方も入園料とは別に、有料になりますけど！カートに乗り園内を一周出来ますので安心して下さい。

(Translated by Google) It was a wonderful place. Particularly beautiful were the hydrangeas blooming on the slopes of the mountain, which looked like a mountain of hydrangeas, and the hydrangea pond, which was also featured on posters as a flower field. There are ups and downs when you walk, so if you have small children, I recommend using a cart. All the drivers were locals, and they told me about the highlights and origins of hydrangeas, which was very educational. Also, don't be fooled by Google, it's definitely better to rent a car. I misunderstood Google Maps and thought it was a 10-minute walk from the station (about the same distance as Kasumigaseki from Tokyo Station), and if I hadn't met a kind person, I would have starved to death on the way home. The hydrangeas were beautiful overall, but I thought it was wonderful that so many local people gathered together and supported each other to create this landscape. I'd like to go again with a rental car or camper van, prepared with a camera, to see it! (Original) すばらしい場所でした。特に綺麗だったのはアジサイが山の斜面で沢山咲いてて、あじさいの山に見えるところや、あじさいの花畑とポスターにもなっていたあじさいの池です。歩くとアップダウンがあるので、小さい子連れならカートがおすすめ。運転手さんはみんな地元の方で、あじさいの見どころや由来も話してくれて勉強になりました。 あとグーグルに惑わされず、絶対レンタカーにした方がいい。グーグルマップで駅から10数分（東京駅から霞が関ぐらいなので）歩けるところかと勘違いして、ご親切な方にお会いしなければ帰り道で野垂れ死になるところでした。 全体的にあじさいも綺麗ですが、おそらくたくさんの地元の方が集まって、支えあってこの景観を作っているところが素敵だなと思いました。 またレンタカーとかキャンピングカーでカメラとか準備して見に行きたいです！

(Translated by Google) Visited from 8:30 in mid-July I read other people's reviews, but to be honest, it was below my expectations🙇 The poster says "Japan's No. 1 Hydrangea Garden," but there are more grasses than hydrangea flowers, and the flowers are only about 50-60% in bloom? There were not many blooming areas🙇 The walking path is also quite tiring with steep ups and downs🙇 The "hydrangea pond," which is the highlight, is not all over the water! The flowers flowed to the back, so it was very different from what you see in the photos It costs 1,500 yen to enter, but I think they should focus on pruning the plants and shaping the flowers in the pond It was raining that day, and frogs and snails showed their faces, so I was able to take some good photos (Original) 7月中旬8:30〜訪問 他者の口コミなどを拝見させて頂きましたが 正直期待以下でした🙇 ポスターに「日本一のあじさい園」と記載してありますが、あじさいの花よりも草が多く加えて花も5.6分咲き？で咲いてる箇所は少なかったです🙇散策路も急勾配のアップダウンで結構疲れます🙇 目玉にしている「あじさいの池」も水面もに一面にある！と言うわけではなく、奥の方に花が流れててしまい写真で見るのとは大違いでした 入場料1,500円かかりますが、草木の剪定、池の花の造形に力入れた方が良いかと思います この日は雨が降っており、カエルやカタツムリが顔を出してくれたので良い写真が撮れました

Well made small museum. No english descriptions and no app like in other museums with translation.

(Translated by Google) It was a nice museum where you can learn about the history of Ichinoseki. It was fun. You can learn about sword exhibits, Oshu Fujiwara clan, Date clan, Tamura clan, Emishi, etc., and there are 3 or 4 zones, including Dutch studies. Museums are a great way to learn about the history, culture, and climate of a region, thank you very much. (Original) 一関の歴史が分かるいい博物館でした。楽しかったです。刀剣の展示や奥州藤原氏、伊達氏、田村氏、蝦夷なども学べますし、蘭学も含め３つか４つのゾーンで知ることができます。その地域の歴史、文化、風土を知るにはやはり博物館は助かりますね、ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) I used to often use the roadside station next door, but I never had the chance to go to the museum, so this was my first time entering it. The main exhibits were on the second floor, and although Ichinoseki residents had heard of them at least once, most of the exhibits were new to us when we came here. The maiso sword area in particular was breathtaking and I was glad to be able to watch the production process on video. Other things that caught my attention were the maps of the Iwai region from the Genroku period, the demon corpse village that is often featured on video sites, and Ichinoseki and Sanseki, which still have place names today, but the place name Nikoseki actually existed at that time. So, why are there 1 and 3 but not 2? The long-standing mystery has been solved (lol) As of April 2020, the general fee is 300 yen, so it is recommended not only for Ichinoseki residents but also for those coming from outside the city or for sightseeing. (Original) 隣りの道の駅は良く利用していましたが、博物館は中々行く機会がなく、今回初めて入館してみました。メインの展示物は2階にあり一関市民は1度は聞いたことがあるものばかりで内容はここに来て初めて知るものがほとんどでした。特に舞草刀のエリアは息を飲むくらい素晴らしくビデオで製作する過程を見ることができて良かったです。他に気を引いたのは元禄時代の磐井地方の地図、動画サイトでもよく取り上げられる鬼死骸村や今でも地名がある一関、三関とありましたが、二関の地名がその当時実在しており、何故一、三はあって二関は無いの？という長年の謎が解けました（笑）令和6年4月現在一般料金300円と気軽に入れるので一関市民はもちろん市外や観光で来た方もオススメです。

(Translated by Google) A small museum displaying materials related to the local area The scale of the exhibition itself is not very large, but it displays materials related to Ichinoseki from ancient times to modern times. Materials related to maiso swords, which are connected to Japanese swords, are on permanent display, and you can also view several sword blades created during the Kamakura period. (Original) こじんまりとした郷土にまつわる資料が展示された博物館 展示の規模自体はさほど多くはないが一関にまつわる古代から近現代迄の資料が展示されています 日本刀へ繋がる舞草刀にまつわる資料が常設展示されており、鎌倉時代に作成された刀身なども複数閲覧できます

(Translated by Google) I don't usually go to places like this, but I'm glad I went. Even if you omit the details such as knowledge and study, the content was impressive 👌 The beautiful and quiet building was in winter, but it was very warm and the entrance fee was cheap, so I recommend it if you have time 👍️ Please check the event details in advance 😉 (Original) 普段はこういう場所に行かないのですが、行って良かったと思います。 知識や勉強といった細かいことを省いても、感心できる内容でした👌 綺麗で閑静な建物は冬の時期でしたが、とても温かく入場料も安いので、時間が余っているならお勧めですよ👍️ 事前に開催内容等を調べて下さいね😉

(Translated by Google) The main exhibits are the history of Ichinoseki and the achievements of those involved. You can see that it was an important point in history. You can learn about the Otsuki family, who were active in the Sendai domain, as well as the origins of Wasan and the Moniwa sword. There seems to be a bus service, but the facility is far from the city center, so it's easier to go by car. The facility is small, so it might be a good idea to see the regular exhibits as well as the special exhibits. (Original) 一関の歴史や関係者の功績を紹介する展示が主です。 歴史の中で重要なポイントになっていたのがわかります。 仙台藩で活躍した大槻家を始め、和算や舞草（もにわ）刀の成り立ちも学習できます。 バスはあるようですが、施設が市街地から遠いため、車で行ったほうが楽です。 施設は小規模のため、特別展に併せて通常展示も見るようにしたほうが良いかも。

(Translated by Google) This place is about 10 minutes by car from downtown Ichinoseki City. There is a roadside station called ``Genbi-kei'' next door, which is very convenient. Genbi-kei is also within a 5-minute walk and can be used for sightseeing as well. Since it is a city museum, the scale and exhibits are smaller than the prefectural museum, so if you don't dig into one material or exhibit, you might be able to finish it quickly. Adults have to pay 300 yen, which seems reasonable. What caught my attention was the Japanese sword exhibition room. It's wonderful to be able to see the actual stage of a Japanese sword, from a block of iron to a stick and being hammered into a shining sword, on video, but it's a shame that the video is currently unavailable due to the coronavirus pandemic... On weekdays, there are fewer people and the lobby is quiet, and the lobby is free to use, so it's a great place to take a break or relax. (Original) ここは一関市の市街から車で10分ほどの場所にあります。隣には道の駅『厳美溪』が併設されていて便利です。歩いて５分内に厳美溪もあり観光ついでに利用もありです。 市立博物館なので県立博物館と比べると規模や展示品は少ないので一つの資料や展示品を掘り下げて見ないとあっという間に終わるかもしれません。大人は300円の料金がかかりますが妥当といった感じです。 興味を惹かれたのは日本刀の展示ルームで見入ってしまいます。日本刀が鉄の塊から棒状になり叩かれて光輝く刀になる段階を実物と共に映像で見れるのは素晴らしいが現在はコロナ渦で映像が利用停止なのは残念… 平日は人も少なく静かな空間でロビーの利用は無料なので休憩やノンビリするのにはオススメです。

Nice view

Nice view

Beautiful sakura!

Highly recommended

(Translated by Google) I visited in mid-April as it was lit up at night during the cherry blossom season. The cherry blossoms at night were beautiful and spectacular, but when climbing to the top, it was dark underfoot, so a handheld light was a must. The night view of Ichinoseki city was also nice. (Original) 4月中旬、桜の季節に夜ライトアップされているので訪れてみました。夜桜は綺麗で見事でしたが上に登る際、足元が暗いので手持ちのライト必需です。一関市街地の夜景も良かったです。

(Translated by Google) I was very disappointed when I came here to see the cherry blossoms. On the way here, I felt that not many tourists came here. When I entered the park, I saw that the cherry blossoms were sparse. I asked the Japanese grandma who came down. The Japanese grandma said that the cherry blossoms above were all over blooming. They were probably as sparse as the cherry blossoms you see now. I was so disappointed. (Original) 來到這邊看櫻花非常的失望，來的路上就覺得好像沒什麼旅客來這邊，進去公園就看到櫻花稀稀落落，詢問當下來的日本奶奶，日本奶奶說上面的櫻花全部開過頭了，大概就像你現在看的櫻花那樣稀稀落落，整個好失望啊

(Translated by Google) Good for a walk and a panoramic view of Ichinoseki. Although it's small, it's also home to Inari Shrine, so it's fun to stroll around. There were few people walking around. There used to be a slide, but there was nothing in the children's plaza. Although it is called a park, there is no grounds for playing ball. (Original) 散歩して一ノ関を一望するにはいい。小さいが稲荷神社などもあって散策するのも楽しい。散歩している人は少なかった。以前は滑り台などもあった、こども広場には何もなかった。公園といってもボール遊びするような敷地もない。

Small chinese restaurant with classical 80s ambiance. Mapo tofu is my favorite! Old classical chinese menu, good taste, smooth and not too savory. Everything is delicious

One of the Best Sweet and Sour Pork that I have ever eaten 👍

(Translated by Google) A Chinese restaurant near Ichinoseki Station. Both the noodle and rice dishes are delicious. In addition, there are various menus, so you will want to eat individual dishes. In the end, you will be full. This was my first time eating "Spicy Stir-fried Chicken and Cashew Nuts", and I fell in love with it, realizing how delicious stir-fried cashew nuts can be. (Original) 一関駅にほど近い中華料理屋さん。麺もの、飯もの、どちらでも美味しい。また、さまざまなメニューがあるので、単品料理も食べたくなる。結果おなかいっぱい。 「鶏肉とカシューナッツピリ辛炒め」を初めて食べましたが、カシューナッツを炒めるとこんなに美味しいんだなぁ〜と、大好きになりました。

(Translated by Google) It's delicious. It's about a 4-minute walk from Ichinoseki Station. The sidewalk is wide, so it's easy to walk. The 1,100 yen lunch comes with a almond tofu dessert, so it's very satisfying. (Original) 美味しいです。 一ノ関駅からら歩いて4分程。歩道は広いので歩きやすいです。ランチ1100円は杏仁豆腐のデザートもついて満足感あります。

(Translated by Google) [250522] Today's lunch is at Chinese restaurant Naka❗️ Arrived at 11:30, 2 people in the restaurant. They have a daily special lunch, but I ordered the one above. They seem to process all the orders at once, so the food arrived in about 15 minutes. Service was slow! Hot jasmine tea and oolong tea are self-service. A full-bodied yakisoba with lots of toppings and half a serving of fried rice makes it very filling. The yakisoba was delicious. The fried rice was quite moist. Thanks for the meal. By chance, many people were ordering gomoku yakisoba and half a serving of fried rice. (Original) 【250522】 本日のランチは「中国料理 菜加」さんへいざ❗️ 11時30分店着で店内２名。 日替わりのサービスランチなどもありますが、表題を注文。店内注文をいっぺんに処理しているらしく15分ほどで着膳。提供遅い！ ホットのジャスミン茶とウーロン茶がセルフサービスで頂ける。 具沢山の焼きそばに半チャーハンでボリューム満点。 焼きそば美味しい。チャーハンはかなりしっとり系でした。 ご馳走様でした。 たまたまか、五目焼きそばと半チャーハンを頼んでいる方が多かった。

(Translated by Google) We went here for our final meal of our trip to Iwate. We had traveled by rental car, so we were relieved to have returned the car and had a beer and a meal while waiting for our return Shinkansen train. It had received some pretty good reviews online, so our conclusion was good. Everything was delicious. Alcohol was also relatively inexpensive, perhaps due to the region, and we ended up drinking too much. There were some Chinese people eating at the table next to us, which reaffirmed to us that this is a Chinese restaurant that attracts Chinese people. Both the dim sum and the other dishes were delicious. (Original) 岩手旅行の最終のお食事にここに行きました。旅はレンタカーでの移動だったので、車返却が完了しホッとしたのでここでビールでも飲みお食事を頂き帰りの新幹線の時間を待とうと。ネットでの検索で割と評価も高かったので。結論は良かったです。どれも美味しかったです。アルコールも地域性なのか割と安価で頂けて、つい飲み過ぎた次第です。隣のテーブルには中華系の方々が食事していて、中華系の人がくる中華料理店は間違いないと再認しました。点心も一品も美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is located along the road towards Ichinoseki Station. It's easy to find. It was good that it was close to the hotel where we stayed! I think there were 5-6 tables in the restaurant. It felt like an old-fashioned coffee shop. There were reserved seats. After us, many customers came in one after another, so it quickly filled up. There were a lot of menus, so it was hard to decide. First, I ordered beer 🍺😁 For the children, there is a set menu from 5pm, and we chose two dishes from that. It comes with rice, soup, pickles, and dessert. There are also various single dishes, and we ordered Maezawa beef stir-fried with oyster sauce and shrimp fried rice. The shrimp used were large and filling. Everything was delicious. The Maezawa beef oyster sauce was a little sweet, and the meat was soft. It seemed a little oily, but.... But personally, I was satisfied. If I come back, I'll try other dishes🍴 Thank you for the meal☺️ (Original) 一ノ関駅に向かっての道路沿いにあるお店です。分かりやすいと思います。 私達が泊まったホテルから歩いても近い場所だったので良かったです！ お店は、テーブル席が５～６席あったと思います。昔ながらの喫茶店の様な雰囲気を感じました。予約席もありました。私達の後から立て続けにお客様の来店もあって、すぐに満席でした。 メニューが沢山あって、迷いました。 まず私はビール🍺😁 子供は、１７時～のセットメニューというのがあって、その中から２品選びます。ご飯・スープ・漬け物・デザートがついてきます。 単品料理も色々あって、前沢牛のオイスターソース炒めにエビチャーハンを注文。 使ってるエビが大きくて、食べ応えありました。どれを食べても美味しかったです。前沢牛のオイスターソースも少し甘味のある味付けで、お肉も柔らかくて。若干ですが、油が多い印象もありましたが、、、。 でも、個人的には満足。また、来店できたら違う料理を食べてみましょ🍴 ごちそうさまでした☺️

pasta may look unassuming but has great taste and very affordable. what a surprise find!

Stopped by after the Geibekei Gourge tour and we had some time (45 minutes) before the train back to Ichinoseki. Quaint place with nice pasta. What a find. Can recommend the spicy spaghetti with shrimp. 美味しい.

Refreshing self serve water.

Tasty and lovingly-prepared food. Portion sizes were good and the price reasonable. English menu was available and the staff were very welcoming to international guests. Worth a visit, especially if you plan to visit the nearby Geibikei gorge and need a bite to eat before or after.

Delicious food and perfect service. It had vegetarian options, English menu and English speaking staff. Very 👍 good!!

The big portion plate is huge. I ate it all.

(Translated by Google) This Italian restaurant is a great choice for a stop before or after a Geibikei Gorge boat ride. It's also conveniently located for dropping by while sightseeing. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely meal. I also like the homey feel of having soft drinks self-serve from plastic bottles. The pasta is made with local Ichinoseki ingredients (Ichinoseki vegetables, Iwai chicken, Iwate Minami beef, etc.). They even use a homemade seasoning based on a unique variation of local Sasanaga soy sauce. I believe this careful attention to detail is what makes every bite so delicious. The cream pasta is especially tasty. It was a flavor that made me want to return as soon as I tried it. (Original) 猊鼻渓舟下りを楽しんだあと、その前でも良い、セットで訪れたいのがこちらのイタリアンレストラン。観光ついでの立ち寄りにも便利な立地です。 店内は落ち着いた雰囲気で、ゆったりと食事を楽しめます。ソフトドリンクはペットボトルからセルフで注ぐスタイルなのも家庭感あって好きです。 パスタには地元一関市産の食材(一関市産の野菜、いわい地鶏、いわて南牛など)が使用されているそうです。さらには、地元・佐々長醤油を独自にアレンジした自家製調味料まで。 こうした丁寧なこだわりが、ひと口ごとに「おいしい」と感じさせる理由だと感じます。特にクリームパスタは美味しいと感じます。食べたそばからまた来たいと思える味でした。

A cat robot server! Very cool. Food was good, but the smoke was very overwhelming at first. Don't wear fresh cloth I guess.

Delicious Yakiniku place. Ate there while I was staying at the hotel nearby. The set was quite affordable, ask for the English menu. Pretty crowded at night though so the wait was a little long. Overall, an excellent meal for a cold night!

(Translated by Google) I visited Yamato for the first time in Iwate to eat reimen, and the parking lot and interior were spacious, with a lot of customers with license plates from outside the prefecture. I had planned to just order reimen, but I also had the grilled kalbi set meal. The price was reasonable, and the kalbi was a little thin, but the delicious yakiniku sauce was just the right amount to go with the rice. The reimen, on top of that, was smooth and easy to swallow. I was a little surprised at how sweet it was when I took a sip of the chilled soup, but when I added the spicy kakuteki, the sweetness blended with the spiciness and sourness to create a delicious dish. It's been a while since I've had reimen, but the watermelon makes it truly feel like summer reimen. (Original) 岩手に冷麺食べに初訪問のヤマトさんへ、駐車場広く店内も広いお客さんも県外ナンバーかなり多いです。 冷麺だけの注文予定でしたが、あぶりカルビ定食もいただきました、価格も安くカルビちょっと薄めですが美味しい焼肉タレが良い塩梅でご飯が進みます。 これに冷麺はツルツル喉越し良い麺です。そのまま冷えたスープを一口飲めば甘めで少し驚きましたが、辛味のカクテキ入ればこの甘さが辛味と酸味のブレンドで良い美味さでます。 久しぶりの冷麺ですがスイカ入りは、ほんと夏の冷麺だなと感じます。

(Translated by Google) I visited this store for the first time during the Reimen Festival at the Iwate store. It was lunchtime on a holiday, so I made a reservation on Hot Pepper before arriving. It started to get crowded around 12 o'clock. The seats were partitioned, so it felt like a private room. They didn't serve me kakuteki at other stores, but they gave me a complimentary serving of kakuteki. I wonder if it varies by store, or if it was because I made a reservation. As always, Yamato's reimen is refreshing, easy to eat, and delicious! Watermelon season is over, so they switched to pears. I was surprised at how quickly the food was served, including the other menu items. The staff also had lovely smiles and made a good impression. I'll definitely stop by again if I'm in the area. (Original) 岩手店舗が冷麺まつり期間だったので初めてこちらの店舗にお邪魔しました。 休日の昼時だったので一応ホットペッパーで予約してから来店。12時頃から混みはじめました。 席は仕切りになっていて個室感あり。 他店舗ではなかったのですがサービスでカクテキを出して貰えました。店舗によって違うのか、予約したからなのか。 相変わらずヤマトの冷麺はさっぱり食べやすくて美味しいです！スイカの時期が終わったので梨になりましたね。 他のメニューも含めて、提供が早くて驚きました。 スタッフさん達も笑顔が素敵で好印象です。 また近くまで来た時は寄りたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I think this level of quality is amazing for a chain restaurant. I ordered the holiday lunch set and enjoyed some very delicious meat. I arrived as soon as the restaurant opened, but customers kept coming in and it was already full. It's a popular local chain restaurant. The desserts were also delicious and the value for money was great. (Original) チェーン店でこのクオリティは素晴らしいと思います。休日ランチセットをオーダーしましたが、とても美味しいお肉を頂きました。開店と同時に入店しましたが次から次へと来客あり、満席になってました。人気のローカルチェーン店です。デザートも美味しくコスパ良いですね。

(Translated by Google) I came to Iwate for work and was looking for a place to have dinner that was unique to the region, and I found this place. It's a local Tohoku yakiniku and cold noodle restaurant. They were having a fair, so I was able to eat cold noodles, kalbi, and other dishes at a reasonable price. (Original) 岩手に仕事で来て、何か地域独自のお店で夕食したいなと探していて見つけました。東北ローカルの焼肉冷麺のお店。　フェアをやっていて冷麺やカルビなどが安く食べれました。

(Translated by Google) I searched for a yakiniku restaurant that serves Morioka cold noodles and came here. The cold noodles were delicious. The staff came right away. (Original) 盛岡冷麺を食べられる焼肉店を検索して来店 冷麺美味しかったです 店員さんがすぐ来てくれます
