If you're traveling near Tono, make sure to visit the charming 'Roadside Station Tono Kaze-no-oka.' This roadside station is a gem in the Tohoku region, offering a variety of local products and delicacies. The 'Farm Direct/Product Hall' boasts an extensive selection of local goods, including popular sake and beer made with hops from Tono. Additionally, the 'Food Hall' features four stores and a drink counter where you can indulge in local cuisine and beverages.
Nice stop, great market and they have free WiFi and clean bathroom
MG — Google review
Tono's Kazenooka (windy hill) is a great place to stop for a bite to eat an shop for local produce. On weekends and holidays, they have food carts outside with festival type foods.
A great place to relax and enjoy the view.
Great place grab food and shop !
cheap local foos!
Have some goods
(Translated by Google) If someone asked me if I'd visit again if I was in the area, I would...
However, I didn't feel like it was a particularly distinctive roadside station.
It has a good balance of agricultural products, souvenirs, and restaurants, so I think it's worth stopping by if you're sightseeing in the area.
Perhaps because it's still new, the facilities are clean and easy to use.

また近くに寄ったら行くか？と言われたら行きます・・・
が・・・何かものすごく特徴的な道の駅とも感じることはありませんでした。
バランス良く農産品やお土産や飲食店も入っているのでこのエリアに観光出来たら寄った方がいいと思います。
まだ新しいのか施設は清潔で使いやすいと思います。
(Translated by Google) We left our accommodation in Morioka by car at 7:15am.
Driving on public roads, we arrived here at 8:45am and took a toilet break. The parking lot is very large and can probably accommodate 100 cars.
It was really cold when we got out of the car. It was only natural, with the temperature being 1.5°C.
When we went into the toilet, we were impressed by how clean it was. We couldn't help but take a photo.
There was also a windmill on the facility. Judging from the name, it must be a windy place.
It was morning so the facility was closed, which was a shame, but we were very happy to be able to use the clean toilets.

宿泊地の盛岡を車で朝7時15分出発。
一般道を走って8時45分にここに到着し、トイレ休憩。駐車場はとても広く、100台は停められるだろう。
車を降りるとなんとも寒い。気温1.5℃だから当然だ。
トイレに入るとそのキレイさに感動。思わず写真を撮る。
施設には風車もある。名前からしてもきっと風が強い場所なのだろう。
朝だったのでまだ施設は空いておらず残念だったが、キレイなトイレを利用できたので大満足。

Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Unetori Shrine, a diminutive sanctuary nestled amidst desolate surroundings, is an authentic place of devotion that eludes casual detection. Encircled by seven towering cedar trees and adorned with a majestic Sakura tree hosting the budding presence of a baby momiji (maple), this serene abode exudes an unparalleled sense of tranquility.
A very very small shrine. At close distance to the middle of nowhere, and not easy to spot, this place is a genuine prayer shrine. In a circle of 7 really tall cedar trees, and with a huge Sakura on a branch of which a baby momiji (maple) has started to grow, it feels super relax. People come there to write prayers on red bits of cloth that they tie to wooden building and to the tree branches around. There's no mark to separate the shrine from the surrounding private garden. Highly recommended for the romantic and magic atmosphere.
Thomas R — Google review
A shrine for fertility. There are cloths laid out on one of the shrines but don't forget to pay for it before you write your wish on it.
Ok
(Translated by Google) I visited on May 5, 2025 using Tono Kotsu's sightseeing taxi.
I heard from a taxi driver that if you tie a red cloth with your left hand, your wish will come true, so my partner tried it.
I was curious about this and looked it up later, and it turns out that people write their wishes with their non-dominant hand and tie the knot with their non-dominant hand.
Was it really correct for my left-handed partner to write with his right hand and tie the words with his left?
I don't know much about it, but it was an interesting experience.

2025.05.05、遠野交通の観光タクシーを利用して伺いました。
タクシーの運転手さんに、左手で赤い布を結び付けると願いが叶うとお聞きして相方がやってみました。
なんとなく気になって後で調べたら、利き手でない方で願い事を書き利き手でない方で結ぶとの事。
元々左利きの相方が右手で書いて左手で結び付けたのは果たして正解だったのか…
よくは分かりませんが面白い体験が出来ました。
(Translated by Google) Visited in July 2025. It's just over 1km from Tono Interchange. There's a parking lot and toilets, and it's a short drive. It's hard to read the name in one go, but it's "Unedori Shrine."
It's a small shrine dedicated to the god of matchmaking, but it's very charming, with lots of red cloth tied around the grounds. The surrounding nature is also lovely, and it seems like a very relaxing place.
(Original)
R7.7月訪問。遠野ICから1kmちょっと。駐車場、トイレもあり車だとすぐです。なかなか1回で読めませんが「うねどり」神社です。
縁結びの神様で小さい神社ですが、趣きがあり、境内では赤い布がたくさん結ばれています。まわりの自然もいい感じで、癒されそう。
(Translated by Google) The deity enshrined is Ushitomi-no-Myoujin, famous for praying for love and marriage.
Near the entrance to Shinsato Atago Shrine, you can see the row of torii gates at Ushitomi-no-Myoujin.
It is said that during the Edo period, Tono merchant Minatoya Heibei persuaded the Ushitomi-no-Myoujin from the Fudai Village to be brought here.
In chapter 35 of Yanagita Kunio's Tono Monogatari Supplement, it is said that this area once housed a large pond where the Lord of the Abyss resided. Prayers to the Lord of the Abyss for marriage would be granted.
Through the torii gates, you can see a large area of red cloth hanging from ropes and branches.
It is said that if you write your wish on the red cloth at the shrine with your non-dominant hand and then tie it with your non-dominant hand, your wish will come true.
A very unique and mysterious scene. Nearby is Atago Shrine and a small shrine.
It has been designated as Tono Heritage No. 145.
It is recommended to visit the nearby Shinsato Atago Shrine, but it requires a mountain hike to reach it.

祭神是卯子酉明神 , 對祈求戀愛和姻緣很有名
在新里愛宕神社入口附近就能看到卯子酉神社的一排鳥居
據說是江戶時代遠野的商人港屋平兵衛將普代村鳥居的卯子酉明神勸請過來
而在柳田國男的遠野物語拾遺第35話裡 , 傳說以前這一帶是個大水潭 , 裡面住著淵之主 , 只要向淵之主祈求姻緣便會實現
穿過鳥居可以看到滿滿的紅布掛在繩子和樹枝上面
據說只要用非慣用手在神社的紅布寫下自己的願望，再用非慣用手繫上，願望就會實現
很特別又神秘的畫面 , 旁邊還有一座愛宕神社與一座小祠
被認定為遠野遺産第145號
推薦來了也可以順便去旁邊的新里愛宕神社 , 但須要走一段山路才能到
(Translated by Google) Tono Trip ⑥
This is the shrine to Unedori, mentioned in the 35th chapter of the Tono Monogatari (Tales of Tono).
It's said that if you can tie a red cloth, sold at the unmanned shop on the grounds, into a rope using only your left hand, you'll be united with your beloved. When I arrived around 2 p.m., there were no cloths left.
The strange sight of countless red cloths tied together is quite impressive.

遠野旅⑥
こちらは、遠野物語拾遺35話に書かれている卯子酉(うねどり)様の祠です。
境内の無人売店で売っている赤い布を、左手だけで縄に結ぶことができれば、想い人と結ばれると言われています。私が行った14時頃には布はありませんでした。
無数の赤い布が結ばれた奇観は、なかなか印象強めです。
(Translated by Google) There is a dedicated parking lot, which is free. There are also restrooms.
Write your wish on a 100-yen piece of red cloth and tie it. You'll be overwhelmed by the sheer volume and the striking vermilion color, which stands out even from afar. On your way there, you'll pass under a red torii gate.

History Museums
Tono Castle Shitamachi Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of the Tono region, showcasing an array of artifacts from Japan's samurai era. Visitors can admire impressive displays of armor, helmets, swords, and everyday items used by samurai families. Although it's a compact museum that can be explored in about 15 to 30 minutes, it is packed with intriguing exhibits that highlight the area's heritage as a former castle town.
(Translated by Google) It seems that you can enter the museum with an admission ticket to Too's Story Hall, but as of September 13, 2023, you cannot enter because reservations must be made at least three days in advance of the desired date. When visiting, you will probably need to contact Toono Monogatari no Yakata. Revisited on December 6, 2023. I made a reservation over the phone to Tono Monogatari no Yakata, and when I asked about the reservation time, the staff member who came before the reservation time accepted the reservation. Although the number of exhibits is small and can be viewed in less than 10 minutes, the explanations about the exhibits were interesting as they detailed the Tono Nanbu family and the environment of the common people at the time. There was a notice saying that reservations must be made two days in advance.

とおの物語の館の入場券で入館出来る様ですが、2023年9月13日現在、希望日の三日前迄の予約が必要と云う事で入館出来ませんでした。訪問時は、とおの物語の館へ問い合わせが必要と思われます。2023年12月6日再訪。とおの物語の館に電話予約し、予約時間に尋ねた処、時間前に来て頂いた係員の方に受け付けて頂きました。展示品の数は少なく、十数分で見終わる規模ですが、展示品に関する解説は遠野南部家や、庶民の当時の環境が詳細に記入されており、興味深い内容でした。予約は二日前迄との掲示が有りました。
退役軍曹 — Google review
(Translated by Google) It is a small museum that can be viewed in just a few minutes. I think you will be able to enter it with the admission ticket to Tono Monogatari no Yakata. The valuable belongings of the Tono Nanbu family worth 12,000 koku are on display. Although I underestimated the size of the store, there were clothes, military equipment, and daily necessities on display that I could tell at a glance. On the other hand, the history explanations are not very comprehensive, so if your purpose is to learn, I think you need to visit it together with the Tono City Museum.
(Original)
数分で観覧できる小さな資料館です。とおの物語の館の入館チケットでついでに入ることになると思います。遠野南部家１万２千石の高価であろう遺品が展示されています。規模を侮りましたが一目で逸品とわかる衣料品、軍備、生活用品が並べられていました。一方で歴史の説明はあまり充実しておらず、学習が目的なら遠野市立博物館とセットで訪れる必要があると思います。

You can enter with an admission ticket to Tono Monogatari no Yakata.
It's a small museum, so you can look around it in about 10 minutes.

とおの物語の館の入場券で入れます。
小さな資料館なので10分程度で見てまわれます。
(Translated by Google) A mini-museum that depicts Tono's 12,000-koku castle town in a compact manner. It is a building with black roof tiles, white walls, and a two-layer roof.
You can visually expand the image of our family by looking at the swords, tsuba, armor, haori and hakama, jingasa, kimono👘, family crests, family tree, tools used during processions, etc. associated with the Tono Nanbu family. However, it is a pity that the number is rather small. Maybe the Tono Nanbu family doesn't offer many treasures? Also on display are tools used in merchant houses. It brings back memories of life in the castle town.
The admission ticket is the same as that of ``Tono Monogatari no Yakata,'' so if you visit ``Tono Monogatari no Yakata,'' it would be a good idea to enter the museum. The location is about 50 meters across the street from Hichichiichi Market from Tono Monogatari no Yakata.
(Original)
遠野一万二千石の城下町をコンパクトに描いているミニ博物館。黒い屋根瓦と白壁、二層式の屋根の建物です。
遠野南部家縁の刀・鍔・甲冑・羽織袴・陣笠・着物👘・家紋・家系図・行列の際に使用した道具類等々、当家のイメージをビジュアル的に膨らませることが出来ます。ただ、数的にはやや少ないのが残念です。遠野南部家はあまり宝物を提供していないのでしょうか？また、商家で使われていた道具類も併せて展示されています。かつての城下での暮らしが彷彿となります。
入場券は「とおの物語の館」と共通になっているので、「とおの物語の館」を訪れたなら是非入館した方がお得でしょう。場所は「とおの物語の館」から一日市の通りを渡って50㍍程。
(Translated by Google) It's a small museum.
Armor, helmets, swords, and everyday items used by samurai families are on display.
I stayed there for about 30 minutes because I was fascinated by the hairpin crafts.
If you just look at it briefly, it will take about 5 minutes.

Specialty Museums
Tono City Museum offers an immersive experience into the history, culture, and life of Tono from ancient mythology to modern times. The museum features models, dioramas, and a theater room where visitors can watch 'Tono Monogatari.' The facility is designed to engage visitors of all ages with its visual and auditory displays. Additionally, the museum occasionally hosts special exhibitions such as the Tono Monogatari picture book exhibition.
Start here on your Tono visit. This museum is a comprehensive coverage of the Tono City prefecture. There is an easy to use audio/video guide in multiple languages included in admission 320 yen. Multi museum pass is available. Entrance is to the left of the stairs with the lanterns that lead to the castle grounds.
Heinrich L — Google review
Really superb museum, ingenious displays, many interactive, vastly informative, only Y 320 including audio headsets in various languages, friendly reception. Highly educational about Tono's mysterious folklore and history. Beautifully conceived throughout, very highly recommended.
A cute little museum about the lives of the people of the region. I had a guide who expanded the displays, I'm not sure if maybe there are audiobooks for tourists so they understand the exhibitions
This museum was surprisingly in-depth and informative! They have a theatre where they show anime about Tōno's folklore. The one with the kappa was voiced by the lady who does Goku, which was awesome.
This Museum is definitely a place to visit if you want to understand where you are and enjoy it even more! It is quiet and very well organized.
Cool and updated. I'd recommend it!
(Translated by Google) As the reviews suggest, the museum is small but packed with content, and the exhibits unique to Tono were very interesting. I'm glad I visited.
The world of "The Tales of Tono" is introduced through videos, dioramas, and actual artifacts. The large screen offers a realistic view, and I would have liked to see it all if I had the time (it took about an hour).
Inspired by the Tales of Tono, you can see statues that were enshrined in actual homes and objects thought to have become zashiki-warashi. While eerie at first glance, they really sparked my imagination.
When you think of life in Tono, horses come to mind, and there are many exhibits featuring them.
The exhibition of illustrations by famous manga artists is amazing!
It was great to be able to see Shigeru Mizuki, Monkey Punch's kappa, Takao Saito's cute zashiki-warashi, and Machiko Satonaka's works up close.
You're allowed to take photos, but you can't upload them to social media.

クチコミどおり、小さいですが内容が充実しており、遠野ならではの展示物がとても興味深く、訪れてよかったです。
「遠野物語」の世界観を映像やジオラマ、実物資料で紹介されおり、大型のスクリーンでは臨場感ある映像で時間があれば全部見たいぐらいでした。（1時間ぐらかかる？）
遠野物語関連で、実際にあった家で祀られていた像や、座敷童となったのではないかと想像されるモノなどを実際に観ることができ、それが一見不気味ながら、いろいろな想像が駆りたてられました。
遠野の暮らしといえば、馬がイメージされますが、その展示類が多いです。
有名漫画家さんのイラストの展示がすばらしい！
水木しげるさん、モンキーパンチさんの河童、さいとうたかおさんの座敷童がかわいい、里中満智子さんなんかもありまじかで鑑賞できてよかったです。
写真は撮ってもいいのですが、SNSなどでのUpはできません。
(Translated by Google) It's located very close to the Tono Monogatari Museum, at the back of the city library.
The museum not only features Tono's folk tales, but also its history and culture, and various exhibits made it easy to understand and interesting, showing how people in Tono lived in the past and how the folk tales were passed down.
The building isn't new, but the exhibits inside, with their use of projections and models, gave it the feel of a modern, modern museum.
There's a theater on the second floor, where you can enjoy videos of various episodes from the Tono Monogatari. I watched the anime version of Shigeru Mizuki's Tono Monogatari, which was voiced by Masako Nozawa and was very well made. I felt like the admission fee was worth it just for watching it.
There was also plenty to see, such as kappa drawings by famous manga artists on display.

遠野物語の館からすぐ近くで、市立図書館の奥にあります。
遠野の昔ばなしだけでなく、歴史や文化など、遠野の昔の人がどのように暮らしていたか、昔ばなしがどう語り継がれてたかなと、様々な展示方法でわかりやすく面白く知ることができました。
建物は新しくはないですが、中の展示はプロジェクションを使っていたり、模型があったりと最近の新しく博物館のようでした。
2階にはシアターがあり、色々な遠野物語のエピソードを映像で楽しめます。水木しげるさんの遠野物語のアニメを見ましたが、声優さんも野沢雅子さんだったりアニメもかなりしっかり作られていて、これを見るだけでも入場料のもとが取れた気がします。
他にも有名漫画家さんたちのカッパの絵が展示されてたりと見どころいっぱいです。

It’s very green - we just barely miss the Sakura season…. But it’s still a nice walk
Good place for hangout
(Translated by Google) At r6.6/16
For the first time in 5 years, the site of the former main enclosure has been transformed from a grassy area to a beautiful plaza.
This time, instead of starting from the road, we will take the forest road route from the mountain where the Arhat statue is located.
I sprained my neck and had some troubles along the way, but I ended up enjoying a forest bath.
If you're going to take the forest road route, it might be a good idea to bring a bell to ward off bears just in case.

The ruins of Guocang City are located on Guocang Mountain at an altitude of 343.9 meters.
The castle was abandoned in 1869 and is now Nabekura Park, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Tono Town.
Thousands of cherry blossom trees are planted, including Somei Yoshino cherry, Oyama cherry, Edo Higanzakura, and Washino cherry.
Wuguangzakura, Fengxuanzangzakura....
The frontline information on cherry blossoms is out of order🙄 There are so many varieties of cherry blossoms, but less than 30% of them are in bloom😖
Climb to the Pseudo Castle Observation Deck and get a bird's eye view of Tono City. The view is great.
Without the contrast of cherry blossoms, the visual beauty will be very different🫣

Cherry blossoms in spring, sunlight filtering through the leaves in summer, and autumn leaves.
I like the season of autumn leaves the most.

Historic Sites
Nestled in the serene hills southeast of Tonos, Gohyaku Rakan is a captivating site that showcases over 380 stone carvings of the Buddha's 500 disciples, known as Arhats. These remarkable etchings were created more than two centuries ago to honor and pacify the spirits of villagers who perished during a famine. The journey to this hidden gem involves navigating steep mountain roads, so sturdy footwear is highly recommended for an enjoyable trek.
(Translated by Google) Although it was Sunday, I visited early, around 9:30 a.m., so there was no one there.
It's hard to find the location, but if you go up the road between Atago Shrine and Ukotori Shrine, you'll see a series of signposts, so it might be easier to find.
There is a highway in the middle, and the entrance is immediately after crossing it.
Proceed while watching the bear warning sign. There doesn't seem to be any animal trails. It is slippery due to moss and dew.
After 3 minutes of climbing, you will see two small cylindrical artifacts on your left. chair? That chair is a landmark. There are moss-covered rocks rolling around on the right side, and each one is a Buddha? It is engraved!
It looks like negative ions are coming out, and the atmosphere is perfect! The heart is revealed.
As you climb up while looking for it, you'll find a shrine made of rocks and an offering box, which seems to be the end of the story.
It's carved into the rock, but since it's in the open, it will probably disappear in a few decades.
It's worth seeing, so you might want to include it in your Tono sightseeing itinerary.

日曜日でしたが、朝9時30分頃と早い時間に訪れたので、誰もいませんでした。
場所がわかりにくいが、愛宕神社と卯子酉神社の間の道を登っていくと道標の看板が続くのでわかりやすいかも。
途中に高速道路があり、その上を横切った先がすぐに入口です。
熊注意の看板を見ながら進みます。獣道があるようでないようで。苔とか露で滑りやすくなっています。
3分も登ると、左側に小さな円柱の人工物が2つあります。椅子？その椅子が目印。この右側に苔むした岩がゴロゴロ転がっていて、その一つ一つに仏様？が彫り込んであります！
マイナスイオンが出てきそうで、雰囲気はバッチリ！心あらわれます。
探しながら登ると、岩でできた祠と賽銭箱があり、ここでおしまいの様子。
岩に彫り込んであるが、野外なのでおそらく数十年後には見えなくなってしまうでしょう。
一見の価値ありなので、遠野観光の行程に入れていいかも。

This place isn't easy to figure out how to get to so let me explain.
Go to Unedori Daimyojin shrine (the one with all the red cloth hung on the tree). When facing the shrine from the main road, there will be an unsealed road going up a hill to the right (see picture attached). You'll know you're on the right path because there is a sign post at the start and a sign warning about bears a bit further up.
Follow this to the top and if you take a left you'll see a foot bridge across the highway. Cross this bridge and you're at the entrance. Should only take 5-10 min. DO NOT follow google maps if you're walking or cycling, it'll give a very convoluted route. I would recommend parking your bike at the bottom and walking up this way if you have one.
The location itself is a bit hard to tell where the rocks are because they're covered with moss, but actually it's less than 5 min from the entrance. Don't go any further once you reach a wooden sign, there's nothing beyond that point.
Please be advised you can access this site easily from Unedori Shrine - just up a steep incline next to stairs to Atago shrine or you can go up the stairs to the Atago Shrine. Either way you cross a foot bridge over the freelway and ascend into the hills. (This is much better than 2km walk from castle grounds mostly downhill and past movement activated bear discouragers) Car access is available.
(Translated by Google) I thought there was an area where large and small moss-covered rocks were casually lying around, but it turned out to be Gohyaku Rahat. I was imagining the other famous 500 Arhats lined up in an orderly manner, so at first I couldn't identify them and looked around, wondering if this place was different, so I ended up walking down a strange mountain path.
I think this is a good idea, but it's far from the main tourist route and requires careful driving along a narrow forest road, which feels more time-consuming than the distance. A high speed passes in front of me, and it lacks the Tono style. I didn't think it was something worth forcing myself to do.
(Original)
苔むした大小岩石が無造作に転がっている一帯があると思ったら、それが五百羅漢だった。他の著名な五百羅漢の整然と並ぶ様を想像していたので、最初特定できずキョロキョロして、ここは違うのかと、あらぬ山道まで踏み込んでしまった。
これはこれで味があるとは思うが、メインの観光ルートから離れていて、細い林道を慎重に車で進む必要があり、距離以上に手間を感じる。目の前を高速が横切り、遠野らしさに欠ける。無理して行く程のものでは無いと思った。
(Translated by Google) I went when it was still a little cold. There was nothing around, and the silence was very unsettling.
More than 250 years ago, this area suffered a great famine (it is said that over 60,000 people died of starvation or disease, and over 20,000 horses died throughout the Nanbu domain), resulting in many casualties. The individual moss-covered stones (Arhat statues) were carved as a memorial for those killed, and they were very impressive.
I ventured a little further in, but the "Beware of Bears" sign made me even more frightened, so I quickly retreated.
(Original)
まだ少し寒い時期に行きました。周囲にはなにもなく、ひっそりと静まり返っているのがとても不安にさせるものがありました。
今から250年以上前にこの辺りが大飢饉（南部藩全体で餓死・病死6万余人、死馬2万頭を超えたといわれています）となり、多くの犠牲者が出たことで、その供養のために彫られたこともあって、苔むした個々の石（羅漢像）に迫力がありました。
少し奥へ分け入りましたが、「熊に注意」の看板が余計に恐怖を煽ったためすぐに退散しました。
(Translated by Google) I searched on Google and found that the route I took in the light rain was a route that took about an hour over the mountains beyond Nabekura Park.On my way back, I found a bridge over the motorway and passed Ukotori Shrine to reach the station. I arrived right away. The arhat was covered in moss and could not be identified. There was no one there.
(Original)
googleで検索して、小雨の中、辿った道は、鍋倉公園を超えての小1時間かかる山越えルートだった、帰り、自動車道に掛かる橋を見つけて、卯子酉神社を通ると駅にすぐ着いた。羅漢は、苔むしていて、判別が付かなかった。人は誰もいなかった。
(Translated by Google) I went to see the 500 Arhats in Tono because I heard there was a guide board there, but I couldn't find any shrines or Buddha statues, and there was a forest all around. When I looked closely at the large stones scattered all over the place, I noticed something carved into them hidden in the shadows of moss. There is a picture of an Arhat carved on it! Carved into stones all over this area...the moment I noticed it, a shiver ran down my spine. As expected, it is the setting for Tono Monogatari. Isn't it one of the 500 Arhats unique to Tono?
(Original)
遠野に五百羅漢があるというので見に行ったのですが、しかしそこには案内板はあれどあるはずの祠や仏像は見当たらず、辺り一面の森。大きな石がやたらとそこら中にあるな、とそれらの石をよくよく見ていると、苔の影に隠れて何か彫られていることに気づく。そこにはなんと、羅漢の絵が彫られているじゃないですか！この一帯そこら中の石に彫られている・・・それに気づいた瞬間、背筋がゾワーってなった。さすがは遠野物語の舞台だ。遠野ならではの五百羅漢ではないでしょうか。

Hmm... which moss-covered statue is an Arhat statue? ? ? That moss gives this place a tranquil atmosphere.
The only Arhat statue can be seen at the entrance.
It looks like something is being enshrined in the deep hollow of the rock (maybe Shimizu?)

Tsuzukiishi
4.2
(167)
Historical landmark
Nestled among fragrant cedar trees, Tsuzukiishi is a mysterious rock formation that may be a natural occurrence or an ancient dolmen. A challenging 500-meter hike leads to the site, where two massive stones rest atop each other, with intriguing chisel marks on some of the lower megaliths. Accessible from a small parking lot off National Route 396, reaching Tsuzukiishi involves a steep ascent and navigating narrow paths with exposed tree roots.
(Translated by Google) This is the place that appears in episode 91 of Tono Monogatari. There is a parking lot on the right side of R396, 10 km from Tono Station towards Hanamaki. The landmark is the gazebo with a reddish-brown roof and the restroom. Please be aware that if you are distracted by the nearby sign that says ``Nanbu Magariya Chibaya'' parking lot, you may accidentally pass by. It's a curved section, so it's difficult to make a U-turn.
There are a lot of wooden canes in the arbor, so it might be a good idea to use them. As the warning at the entrance says, the road is rough until the halfway point. The middle of the road has been carved out by the force of the rain, so you will have to step over it. The path is well-maintained, so it's easy to climb if you're careful, but sneakers are probably a good idea. Even my feet reached the stone in about 10 minutes. There's also a bear warning sign, so if you're concerned about it, be sure to bring a bear bell.
Since there was no one around, I was able to soak up the solemn atmosphere of Yamajinja Shrine and Tsuzuki Stone. If you have time, this is a place you should definitely stop by.

遠野物語第91話に出てくる場所です。遠野駅から花巻方面へ10キロ進んだR396沿いちょっと引っ込んだ右側に駐車場はあります。赤茶色の屋根の東屋とトイレが目印です。近くにある「南部曲り家 千葉家」駐車場という看板に気を取られているとうっかり通り過ぎてしまうのでご注意を。カーブ区間なのでUターンが大変です。
東屋には木の杖がたくさん置いてあるので有難く使わせていただいたほうが良いかも。入口の注意書きのとおり中間地点まで道が荒れているからです。雨の勢いで道の真ん中が削られているのでまたいで通行することになります。そもそも道が整備されているのでそこだけ気をつければ登りやすい道ですが、スニーカーが無難でしょう。私の足でも10分ほどで続石につきました。あと熊注意の看板もあるので気になる方は熊除け鈴の用意ですね。
ちょうど誰もいなかったので山神社と続石の厳かな雰囲気に浸ることができました。時間があればぜひ立ち寄っていただきたい所です。

Worth it, even if you cycle the 8km from Tono station. Go with a friend though. Meeting a bear on the path when you are alone is not so great....

There are no people around, so it would be scary if a bear appeared 🤣

Proceed along National Route 396 from Tono toward Miyamori and climb up from the parking lot on the right that can accommodate 4.5 cars.
I'll be there in about 20 minutes. The course is easy to follow, but it tends to get muddy underfoot, so be careful especially at the bottom.
I guess it's a natural landscape. It has an atmosphere.

(Translated by Google) It's in a very difficult place to understand.
I headed there using my car's navigation system, but I found a rock that looked like it along the national highway and stopped.
I thought it was smaller than I expected, but it turned out to be an information board and a mock stone.
There is a promenade leading from the top of the simulated stone, but I couldn't find it because it looked like ``Isn't this a place where people don't belong?''
Moved by car again.
A little further along, I managed to find a sign that said ``Zokuishi Tourist Parking Lot'' and stopped.
Please be careful as you can only park a few cars and it is narrow.
Look at the information board and choose the shortest path with the steepest incline to climb the mountain.
You can climb the mountain wearing a skirt, but sandals are not recommended.
As you climb up the mountain path that not many people take, you will come across ``Fudo Rock'' (a rock so large that you can't move it!) and ``Nakiiwa'' (a gigantic rock standing there), and finally you will come across ``Zoku Ishi''.
There are many legends about this stone, including that Benkei scratched it, that it was an ancient grave, and that Benkei lifted it and made it.
It's really strange when you get closer.
It is perfectly balanced and has rocks on it.
``I wish I could advertise it more,'' I thought to myself, ``Isn't this no-man's land?'' I landed on the spot where I had just thought.

大変分かりづらいところにあります。

その模擬石の上の方から遊歩道が続いているのですが「ここって人の土地じゃない？」みたいな所なので見つけられず⋯
再び車で移動。
少し進んだところに「続石観光専用駐車場」という看板をなんとか見つけて停車。
数台しか停められない上に狭いので気をつけてください。
案内板を見て、急な傾斜の最短の道を選択して山登り。
スカートでも登れますがサンダルは奨めません。
あまり人が通ってないであろう山道を登っていくと「不動岩」(これは動かせない岩だね！って言う大きさ)や、「泣石」(巨大な岩が立ってます)があり、やっと「続石」に出会えます。
弁慶が傷をつけたとか、古代人の墓だとか、弁慶が持ち上げて作ったとか、色んな伝説がある石です。

「もっと宣伝すればいいのに」と思いながら、「ここって人の土地じゃない？」と、さっき思った場所に降りてきました。
(Translated by Google) There is a dedicated parking lot for Zokuishi along National Route 396 where you can park about 3 cars, and from there it is about a 15 minute walk up the mountain.
It can be quite difficult for the elderly and those with impaired legs, as the roads are narrow and there are places where tree roots are exposed on the ground, making it difficult to walk.
Tsuzuki-ishi is a strange stone that appears in the 91st chapter of Tono Monogatari, a collection of tales written by author Kunio Yanagita about anecdotes and folklore passed down in the Tono region, and was lifted and built by Musashibo Benkei, also known as the tomb of an ancient person. It is also said to be a power spot.

続石は作家・柳田国男が遠野地方に伝わる逸話や伝承などを記した説話集『遠野物語』の第91話に出てくる奇石で、古代人の墓とも、武蔵坊弁慶が持ち上げて作ったとも言われているパワースポットです。

Upon entering Itoke, a seemingly ordinary family-owned establishment, patrons are pleasantly surprised by the enchanting garden that envelops the premises. To fully appreciate this serene setting, it is advisable to request seating towards the rear. Furthermore, the cuisine offered at Itoke is of noteworthy taste and superior quality. The staff members exude an endearing charm while serving delicious meals.

When you first walk in it seems like another typical mom & pop place, but if you walk back further they have a beautiful garden surrounding the place. So make sure to ask to be seated towards the back. Food was pretty good too!
Soba noodles are homemade and the tempura is fresh and delicious.
I had the"salad soba". It was definitely a new way of eating soba for me. You're supposed to pour the soba soup over the noodles, salad, and tempura. I'm not a huge fan of the fishy flavor of soba soup so this wasn't my favorite way to eat soba so I don't think I'll order it again but give it a try if you're interested in different ways to eat your soba noodles.
If you're looking for set meals this restaurant is really good. The customer service was also great. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Tono
(Translated by Google) I just happened to walk into this restaurant.
I noticed the words "mini sea urchin bowl" on the menu!

If you dine here, they offer complimentary use of the nearby paid parking, so I thought it would be a good addition to your sightseeing route.

During my recent culinary adventure at Hosuke, I indulged in a delightful array of dishes that truly showcased the essence of Japanese comfort food. On my second visit, I savored the Goemon ramen with a medium spicy miso flavor, accompanied by spicy miso rice and three delectable soup dumplings. The thin noodles paired beautifully with the rich pork bone-based broth and an abundance of fresh vegetables, making for a hearty meal.

As you wait at the counter, your number will be called and you will go to pick it up. The staff will bring out the dishes that will be ready later. I ate Takarasuke Meshi for the first time in a while with Chive Nanban Kotori 5/8. Both were very delicious. I left the store satisfied with the staff's response. I would like to visit you again.

Bodies of Water
Kappa Pool is a serene and shaded grove with a crystal-clear stream, offering visitors the opportunity to fish and explore a shrine dedicated to local legend. The pool is located near Denshoen and features a shrine honoring mischievous water spirits that once saved a nearby temple. Visitors can enjoy the refreshing atmosphere of the clear stream and even try their hand at fishing for kappa using cucumbers tied to fishing poles, provided they have obtained a kappa fishing license from designated locations.
Pretty interesting place.
Birthplace of the legend of the kappa, one of Japan's most popular monsters.
You are encouraged to buy a permit to catch them at the Lore-in and fish with cucumbers.
Ryoma S — Google review
Totally disappointed. We had a long drive to see this place and while the nearby exhibition is worthy a visit this stream is a total letdown
Dial down your expectations and focus on the Kawaii (cute). You access the pool passing through the temple grounds - keep an eye out for kappa adorning the railings. 🥒 everywhere ! Denshoen and here will keep you occupied for 90 mins and both worth a look. If you have rented a bicycle this is one end of the path.
It was not the place to drive to visit and to see the site to be honest. I understand that the Kappa is a monster in the folklore story, but the presentation of Kappa story was poor for me. In the Tōno city itself was not attractive for me.
That was just a creek but I am glad that we went there since Kappa is childhood imaginary creature and interesting to see the place where that fairytale started. Azuki ice cream we had was amazing.
Went to Kappa Pool - not much signage for where you can park your bikes, but a nice, cool, relaxing place to visit that also highlights Tono's folklore.
It closes at 4pm with a gate at the entrance saying no access. We had travelled quite far and were interested to see this place so it was a disappointment to find that it closed so early. It just looked like a regular inaka temple so I wonder why they choose to prevent people from entering.
Anyway, I suppose we should have checked more thoroughly before going but lesson learnt.
I wonder if the kappa was there that day?
Kappabuchi is a must on the Tono tourist trail. It is a remarkably creepy little grove, and easy to get to following signs out of Tono town centre. However, it should be said that there is not alot to actually DO here. It's more about soaking up the atmosphere. "Yokai" hunters will enjoy it, but maybe it's a bit boring for children.

The Tono's kappa, called Aka Kappa, is believed to be red in color due to the severe cold of the area. The temple precincts also feature a statue of Nio and a kappa guardian dog. Nearby attractions include Denshoen Garden and Tono's specialty hop fields, making it an ideal place for a leisurely stroll and exploration.
The temple famous for the kappa folk lore! Free to enter!
Joakim B — Google review
(Translated by Google) There were many carved wooden raincoats everywhere, and there were even Komakappa (kappa guardian dogs) that were not guardian dogs, so it was quite a sight to see.
You can go to Kappabuchi from the side.
(Original)
あたこちにたくさんの木彫りのカッパがいて、狛犬ならぬ狛河童（カッパ狛犬）があったりと見応えありました。
脇からカッパ淵へ行けます。
(Translated by Google) There are Kappa guardian dogs, and you can also see Kappafuchi.
Kongorikishi was transferred from Hayachine Shrine when Shinto and Buddhism were separated.
(Original)
河童狛犬があり、カッパ淵も見られます。
金剛力士は早池峯神社から神仏分離の際にうつされたもの。
(Translated by Google) It was originally said to be the family temple of the Abe clan, and the Nio statue was moved from Hayachinezan Myosenji Temple around the time of Haibutsu Kishaku. The wood carvings on the gate are beautiful.
(Original)
もと安倍氏の菩提寺といわれ、仁王像は早池峰山妙泉寺のを廃仏毀釈の頃に移築したもの。門の木彫りが見事。
(Translated by Google) This is a temple you pass on the way to Kappa-fuchi, and the small stream beside the temple is Kappa-fuchi.
The fact that it's next to a temple really makes it feel like kappa or other supernatural creatures might appear, which is a nice thing.
There are also kappa komainu statues, so be sure to pay your respects to them on your way to Kappa-fuchi.
(Original)
カッパ淵に行くときに通るお寺で、お寺の脇の小川がカッパ淵です。
お寺脇っていうのが、たしかにカッパとか怪異の類が出そうな感じがしていいですね。
カッパ狛犬とかもあるので、カッパ淵に行くときに一緒にお参りしていきましょう。
(Translated by Google) Tono Trip ②
This is a record of a spring trip I took. I traveled to places associated with Yanagita Kunio's "Tono Monogatari." My next destination was Jokenji Temple, famous for its Kappa Pool.
This ancient Soto Zen temple was founded in 1490. The stream behind the temple grounds is called "Kappa Pool" and is said to have once been home to many kappa. Apparently, a kappa living there helped put out a fire at Jokenji Temple, leading the grateful head priest to enshrine kappa guardian dogs.
Sure enough, next to the hall on the approach to the temple, there's a kappa guardian dog with a plate on its head.
But what exactly are kappa? I sometimes wonder if they were not treated as human beings at the time. There are many folk tales with specific stories.
At Kappa Pool, you can even try fishing for kappa by dangling a cucumber from a bamboo pole. It's a great photo spot. Although it's a small temple with a quiet atmosphere, this photo spot is popular and bustling with bus tour guests.
Although it's a temple, there are still vestiges of Shinto-Buddhist syncretism, such as the presence of guardian lion dogs. The lion dog guarding the hall was a unicorn.

遠野旅②
春に訪れた旅の記録です。柳田國男「遠野物語」ゆかりの地を巡る旅。次の目的地はカッパ淵で有名な常堅寺。
延徳2年(1490)に開山した曹洞宗の古刹。境内の裏を流れる小川は「カッパ淵」と呼ばれ、かつて多くの河童が棲んでいたとか。そこに住む河童が常堅寺の火事を消してくれた事から、感謝した住職が河童の狛犬を祀ったのだとか。
たしかに、参道の脇にあるお堂の傍には、頭にお皿がある河童の狛犬が。
それにしても、河童って一体なんなんでしょうか？もしかしたら、当時人扱いされていない人間だったのかもな…と思ったりもします。具体的なストーリーの民話が多いので。
カッパ淵では、竹竿にキュウリを垂らして、河童を釣る事もできます。フォトスポットですね。静かな雰囲気の小さなお寺ですが、このフォトスポットは人気で、バスツアーのお客さんで賑わっていました。
お寺ではありますが、狛犬がいたり、神仏習合の名残も感じられます。お堂を守る狛犬はユニコーンでした。
(Translated by Google) This is an old Soto Zen temple that was founded in 1490 during the Muromachi period. The stream that flows behind the temple grounds is called "Kappa-fuchi" and is a famous tourist spot in Tono. Within the temple grounds, there are guardian lion dogs with circular depressions on their heads called "Kappa Komainu."

室町時代である1490年に開山した曹洞宗の古寺。境内の裏を流れる小川は「カッパ淵」と呼ばれ、遠野の有名な観光スポットになっています。境内には「カッパ狛犬」と呼ばれる頭部に円形状のくぼみがある狛犬がいます。
(Translated by Google) This was my first visit. It's a magnificent temple. To get to Kappabuchi, you go under the walkway on the left side of Jokenji Temple.

Denshoen is a captivating open-air folk museum nestled in Tono, where visitors can immerse themselves in the rich local history. This charming site features the historic Kikuchi family residence, recognized as a nationally significant cultural property, alongside the memorial hall dedicated to Kizen Sasaki, famed for narrating 'Tono Monogatari.' The Oshira-do Shrine adds to its allure with its unique collection of Oshirasama silkworms.
Very interesting place. You can imagine our life long time ago there.
Setsuko R — Google review
Google translator is your friend here. Vast array of historical artefacts- late Edo into Meiji and mid 1900s - liked the bath set-up and remember it can get down to -17 C in Tono. There is an active craft workshop and intriguing souvenir selection. Give yourself 90 mins at least for here and kappa pool at one end of the bicycle way
Way better that the nearby Kappa pool attraction!
Not too far from the city center, actually conveniently located very close to kappabuchi, another point of interest and low-priced place. You can see traditional houses from the area with thatch roofs, live silkworms, experience some silk processing steps, and see the creepy shrine to Oshira-sama with hundreds of dolls covering the walls up to the ceiling in a room with no windows. It's a kind of more condensed furusato-mura. Nice to visit once.
The wonderful collection of buildings with old thatched roofs where you can learn about and enjoy the legends of Tono. In one of the larger buildings there's a room dedicated to Oshirasama. I definitely recommend going there!
Sit around the fire in the old farmhouse and tell stories. It's great. Also see the 1000 horse dieties. It only takes 20 minutes to see everything, but you could easiky spend longer soaking it all in.
The embodiment of folk tales in Japan. The stories give you insight into the old Japanese society and how people used to live. Plenty of English support.
A nice place to spend around 30 minutes. There is a house there built in the 1700's and a very unique shrine

Fukusenji Temple, located in Tono, Japan, is a historic landmark known for housing the largest wooden Buddha statue in the country. The main temple sits atop a hill and offers stunning views of cherry blossoms in spring and colorful autumn leaves. The spacious grounds feature a garden with azaleas and a pond, creating a serene atmosphere for visitors to enjoy. The temple's Chinese-style gate and unique A-un statue add to its allure.
Stunning temple and gardens, among the best I’ve visited anywhere. Especially beautiful with the changing autumn leaves. Refreshingly free of crowds. And: the shuin we received was our favorite yet, with hand-written calligraphy and a lotus stamp. Highly recommended!!
Er B — Google review
A beautiful and impressive temple area. It's partially a bit of a hike so please take your time.
Really stunning temple. Had the whole place to ourselves. Beautiful in the autumn leaves!
Wonderful Place😍😍
Highly recommended
(Translated by Google) Quiet and perfect for a walk. Even during the cherry blossom season, it's a temple, so you can enjoy the cherry blossoms without any drunk people. If you are coming from Tono City, you may end up parking in the first parking lot without knowing it, but it is more convenient for the elderly and people with weak legs to continue on and go to the next parking lot.

(Translated by Google) I visited on May 5, 2025, using a Tono Kotsu sightseeing taxi.
The desolate atmosphere was indescribable.
It seems that in Tono, it is not "Ubasute" but "Jijisute".
I heard this story from a taxi driver, so I'm not sure if it's true, but the reason is that women could be useful even in old age, such as with housework.
(Original)
2025.05.05、遠野交通の観光タクシーを利用して伺いました。
荒涼とした感じがなんともいえない雰囲気でした。
遠野では『姥捨』ではなく『ジジ捨』だった様ですね。
タクシーの運転手さんから伺ったお話ですから真相は定かではありませんが理由は女性は家事など年を取っても役立つ事があったからだそうです。
Tomoyuki O — Google review
(Translated by Google) It is said that in Tono, old people over 60 years old were taken here to ``Dendera Field'' to talk less. However, rather than waiting for their lives to end, the elderly people who were brought there apparently lived here together, plowing nearby fields during the day, and returning in the evening. Going out from the Dendera field to the fields was called "hakadachi," and returning from the fields was called "hakaagari." Rather than being abandoned, does it feel like a new life is starting? I was surprised to see that this place is very close to the village and close enough to go back home. But it's the village law, so I can't go back. It was probably a sad but necessary wisdom to keep his precious descendants alive in a time when famines were frequent.
(Original)
遠野では60歳を過ぎた老人は口減らしのためにここ「デンデラ野」に連れて行かれたとのこと。しかし連れて来られた老人達はじっと命尽きるのを待つのではなく、ここで共同生活をしながら昼は近くの畑を耕し、夕方には戻るという生活をしていたそう。デンデラ野から畑にでることは「ハカダチ」、畑から戻ることを「ハカアガリ」と言っていたそうです。捨てられたと言うより新たな生活が始まる感じなのでしょうか。訪れて見て驚いたことに、この場所は集落から直ぐ近くで家にも戻れる距離です。だけど村の掟だから戻らない。たびたび飢饉に見舞われた時代に大切な子孫を生かし残していく上での悲しくも必然の知恵だったのでしょう。
(Translated by Google) This is a must-visit for anyone who has read the Tales of Tono. It's close to the Yamaguchi waterwheel, but you have to climb about 100 meters up a narrow road where you can't pass other vehicles. Be careful. The view is nice, and there's no atmosphere of Mt. Ubasute.
(Original)
遠野物語を読んだ人であれば行くべきところです。山口の水車からも近いのですが、すれ違い出来ない狭い道路を100メートルくらい登らなければなりません。注意が必要です。景色もよく、姥捨山の雰囲気はありませんでした。
(Translated by Google) 0926 Dendera Field
This area is located on a hill just across the river from the side of the village. It's said that in the past, people who turned 60 would gather in this area and live communally. Those who were healthy would commute to the village from here to do farm work or other tasks. While many people in their 60s are still working these days, back in the day, they were sent to the "Obasuteyama" (a place where old women were abandoned). The reconstructed buildings have been cleaned, so it's safe to enter. I wonder if people really lived in these buildings, which resemble Jomon-period dwellings (with unsunk floors). It looks like they'd be crushed by snow... Since it's on high ground and there's no risk of flooding, it's likely that these days they'd be sold off as houses. It's quite spacious, so I imagine a decent number of people lived there.
(Original)
0926 デンデラ野
集落の脇の道を進み、川をわたったところにある高台にある場所。昔は60歳になるとこのエリアに集まり、共同生活をおくるとある。元気な人は、ここから集落に通い農作業などの仕事をしていたとも。いまの60歳は、まだ仕事をしている人が多いけれど、昔は「姥捨て山」に行かされちゃうのね。再現されている建物は、清掃がされているので入っても大丈夫です。縄文時代の住居みたい(床は掘り下げられていない)な建物に、本当に住んでいたのかな。雪で潰れそう。。。高台で水害の心配ないので今だったら分譲されていそう。結構広いので、それなりの人数が住んでいたのかな。
(Translated by Google) Tono story. This is a collection of folk tales published in 1910 by the folklorist Kunio Yanagida, which was compiled from folk tales he had heard from Kizen Sasaki, a native of Tono. It consists of a total of 119 short and medium stories, and is characterized by its strong mysterious atmosphere.
There are legends all over the place called ``Mt. Ubagase.'' It is said that the ``old man who could no longer work'' was abandoned in ``the mountains'' in order to reduce his income. This is called abandonment or senicide. It seems that here in Tono, there was a custom of abandoning the elderly in the distant past, and in episode 111, ``There is a place called Denderano.In the past, all the old people over 60 were driven to this lotus place.'' There is a description that says, ``Learning follows...'' In other words, during times when the food situation was poor, elderly people whose productivity had declined were abandoned in the mountains in order to ``feed less.'' It's scary.
However, there is no record of ``retirement'' in Japan's official literature, and it seems that it remains in the category of folklore. First, the Tokugawa shogunate had adopted Neo-Confucianism, which valued hierarchical relationships. You wouldn't have done that to an old man, don't worry.
But isn't there something wrong with the retirement system? Nowadays, there is no philosophy in the government, and this is scary.
(Original)
遠野物語。民俗学者の柳田国男が、遠野出身の佐々木 喜善（ささき きぜん）から聞き取った民話をまとめて明治43年（1910年）に発表した説話集です。全119話の短編・中編の説話からなり、怪奇的な雰囲気を色濃く纏っているのが特徴です。
「姥捨て山」といわれる伝説が各地にあります。「働けなくなった老人」を口減らしのために「山中」に遺棄したというのです。棄老とかセニサイド（Senicide）と呼ばれます。ここ遠野でも遠い昔に棄老の風習があったようで、第111話には「蓮台野（デンデラノ）と云う地あり。昔は六十を超えたる老人はすべて此蓮台野へ追ひ遣るの習ありき…」との記述があります。要するに食料事情の悪かった時代、生産性の低下した高齢者を「口減らし」目的に山中に遺棄していたというのです。怖いですねえ。
しかし国内の公的な文献には「棄老」に関する記録はありません、あくまで民間伝承の範疇に留まるようです。第一、徳川幕府は上下関係を重んじる朱子学を「採用」していたわけです。老人にそんなことはしなかったでしょう、ご安心を。
でも、定年制度ってなんかダブりませんか？政府に哲学のない昨今、こっちの方は怖いですねえ。
(Translated by Google) When you hear the name Dendera Field, the first thing that catches your eye is that hut rather than the field itself. Even though they were taken away to reduce their income, if the old people have the physical strength to do farm work, I hope they can live happily and live long lives in the village for the elderly.

デンデラ野と云う名称から行ってみると「野」と云うよりあの小屋が最初に目に止まります。口減らしの為に連れて行かれたとはいえ老人達は農作業が出来る体力があるなら老人村でも村立して楽しく暮らして長生きして欲しいですね。

There's no parking lot, so I walked from the watermill (about 900m) (there's a little empty space in front of the bridge, so I guess it's okay to park there for a short time...?)
A lone straw hut on a small hill...it's depressing
In the past, there probably wasn't any farmland here, so it was probably more grassy and dense...
It could have been a forest
It's hot, so it might be better to go in the summer when the sun is in the shade.The voice of the Higurashi is soothing.

The Tonogo Hachimangu Shrine, like most Hachimangu shrines, boasts impressive and sturdy structures adorned with vibrant red and white hues. While the main building may lack the ornate beauty of other religious sites in Tono due to its modest metal roof instead of black tile roofs, its surroundings are truly breathtaking. Nature enthusiasts and picnic aficionados will be enthralled by the stunning pathway lined with majestic cedar trees and an expansive open lawn.

As usually with Hachimangu shrines, very big and solid buildings, with strong red and white colors. This one seems quite well maintained. The main building itself isn't especially remarkable for a shrine, and its simple metal roof is far from the beautiful black tiles roofs of other Tono religious places, but the surroundings are amazing. With a superb alley of cedar trees crossed by a long and open lawn, it's a dream for nature and picnic lovers. They also have a super long bridge going from the reception all the way to the main building. Pine trees, momiji and Sakura are also sprinkled around.
(Translated by Google) A must-see for cat lovers!

(Translated by Google) The chief guardian of Tono City, the main deity enshrined is Yotabetsu-son.
In 1189, Minamoto no Yoritomo granted Tono-go to Azenuma Hirotsuna for his meritorious service in suppressing the Hiraizumi Fujiwara clan.
Azenuma Hirotsuna dispatched Ufukata Hirofusa to build a palace in Matsuzaki Village and enshrine Hachiman-gō.
Azenuma Hirotsuna later built Yokota Castle and erected Hachiman-gō Shrine at the castle's gate.
In 1600, Tono became the domain of the Nanbu clan, and in 1661, Hachinohe Tadayoshi relocated the shrine to its current location.
It's a distance from the station; you can take a bus and get off at the "Hachiman-jinja-mae" stop.
The water outlet at the Sailor's House is not the usual dragon, but a kappa, a truly charming sight.
After passing through the third torii gate, you'll see a long, horizontal horse racing field, designated an Important Cultural Property of Tono City.
The annual Tono Nanbu-ryu Yabusame race has been designated Tono Heritage No. 139. Its history dates back to 1335.
Near the main shrine are many shrines within the area, such as the guardian shrine and the Koshi Shrine.
The most famous one is the Cat Shrine at the entrance.

(Translated by Google) Beyond the vermilion Ryobu Torii gate is a straight stone-paved approach to the shrine, lined with flags and lanterns on both sides.
It's a spectacular sight, but it's also wonderful to walk while listening to the sound of the flags fluttering in the wind right up to your ears.
The grounds are spacious, and there is a large horse riding ground on the premises, so the view is open and the feeling of openness is amazing. Everything is well-maintained, clean, and comfortable.
The shrine building is impressive, but the roof tiles of the shrine building were replaced with iron plates after the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Since it is Hachiman Shrine, people born in the year of the dog and boar worship at the front worship hall, and other zodiac signs are also enshrined in the grounds as guardian shrines.
Also, it's easy to overlook, but there is a small shrine called Nekojinja at the edge of the parking lot, and it is buried in cat figurines, so if you like cats, be sure to check it out.

Guests have praised the quick service and the attentiveness of the staff, especially highlighting the exceptional hospitality shown by one waiter who remembered individual orders without hesitation.
A typical family restaurant, we liked that there were many many options so it was convenient for us foreigners with kids. Food was good with good portions. Service was kind and quick, place is super clean. All for average 1600 yens per person.

(Translated by Google) We ate here with a group of seven, and
the food was served quickly!
I was particularly impressed by the kindness of the male waiter wearing glasses. Because we were a large group, we had to confirm our order several times, but he took his time to check it without any complaints, and even when he served the food, he remembered who had ordered what, which I thought was amazing hospitality. I would like to come here again when I visit my hometown.

(Translated by Google) I entered the restaurant at 18:48 on August 10th, looking for the "Nigiwai Gozen" meal.
An hour passed and there was no sign of what I was looking for, and when I looked, there was no word from the staff saying "It will take some time today to prepare this for you..." - an unacceptable response, even during the Obon holiday.
I was annoyed, so I just left the restaurant.

Bangari is a delightful culinary destination that offers an exciting array of ramen dishes, perfect for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike. On my recent visits, I indulged in their unique backfat soy sauce ramen paired with mini ankake fried rice—a combination that truly elevated the experience with its rich flavors and chewy homemade noodles. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, thanks to the friendly staff who make you feel right at home.
Yummy yummy!

(Translated by Google) It's an analog store in a good sense, with a Showa-era atmosphere. Therefore, there are more conversations with the staff than at a fast food restaurant. I feel like if I come every day, I'll be able to make friends. The food is plentiful, and a large serving of rice is free! I ate all of it, but I thought I was going to throw up after working that afternoon lol. Of course, I endured it.

昭和な雰囲気というか、いい意味でアナログなお店ですね。そのため店員さんとの会話もファストフード店よりは多め。毎日来たら仲良くなれそうな気がします。食事も量が多く、今時は貴重なご飯大盛り無料！食べ切りましたが、午後のお仕事は吐くかと思いました笑 もちろん耐えましたが。
(Translated by Google) Matasaburo salt mini fried rice set 1230 yen
Large size of noodles + 300 yen (*Regular size of fried rice + 300 yen)
I received it! Total 1830 yen
It seems that the fried rice was basically mini size only, but when I asked about it without knowing it, they kindly and flexibly responded (*part).
Saburo (Atmosphere Jiro) ramen is something I sometimes see, but it was the most delicious Saburo I've ever eaten! Of course it's completely different from Jiro, but it's a ramen worth eating!
The side dishes were delicious, but the salad had a bit of a smell and was eaten with a small amount of mayonnaise instead of dressing, so I wondered if some people would leave it alone.

たまに見かける三郎(雰囲気二郎)ラーメンですが、今まで食べた三郎の中で1番美味しかったです！もちろん二郎とは全然違いますが、食べる価値のあるラーメンです！
付け合せも美味しかったのですが、サラダは少し臭みがありドレッシングでは無く少量のマヨネーズで食べることになるため、残す人もいらっしゃるのかなと思いました。
(Translated by Google) It's been quite a while since my last visit.
The menu has changed quite a bit!
I had Matasaburo Shio, Goemon ramen and mini fried rice, a mini yakiniku bowl and a mini oyakodon.
The Goemon ramen is mild with just a touch of spiciness. The fried rice is delicious. It's even better with the sauce that comes with it!
I think Matasaburo Shio is to die for. It's really good! I generally like regular soy sauce-based ramen, but sometimes I like something richer. That's when I ordered Matasaburo Shio. It was delicious!
It seems they also have soy sauce and miso, so I'll definitely stop by again! Thank you!

かなり久しぶりの訪問〜。
かなりメニューが変わりましたね！
又三部郎の塩、五右衛門ラーメンとミニチャーハン、ミニ焼肉丼とミニ親子丼を頂きました。
五右衛門ラーメンは、ほんの少しピリ辛でマイルドですね。チャーハン美味いです。付属のあんかけをかければ尚ウマシ！
又三部郎の塩は、私は絶品ですね。本当美味い！基本、醤油ベースの普通のラーメンが好きな私ですが、たまにはこってりも食べたい。そんな中で頼んだ又三部郎の塩。美味いがな！
醤油、味噌もあるみたいだし、また寄らせて頂きます！ありがとうございました！
(Translated by Google) Choose 12 types of spicy ramen. Refreshing with bean sauce flavor. The menu lists up to 5 spiciness with a threatening message, but from what I've heard, it seems like they can handle up to 20 spiciness. 12 spiciness is still okay for me. I'm confident that I can drink soup even if it's 20 spicy. The atmosphere of the shop is made up of a gentle man with a high-pitched voice.
"Welcome" is a pleasant feeling. The service from the lady on the floor was also pleasant.

It's a popular restaurant, with customers trickling in one after the other.
Unusually for these days, it seems like you can sit anywhere. The cold water is self-service.
I had the back fat soy sauce ramen.
Simple ingredients, clear amber soup.
Straight, thin noodles!
I was blown away by the taste and appearance of this Kamaishi ramen.
The sweetness of the back fat matched perfectly, making it delicious.
I made a mistake ordering soy sauce ramen (back fat soy sauce is on a separate menu).
They changed my order.
The staff was happy to accommodate, and I'm grateful.
The portions were generous and the price was surprisingly reasonable. I'm jealous of the locals, lol

(Translated by Google) I've been here twice in the past, but I wanted to try something I hadn't seen before.
The parking lot is a large gravel parking lot shared with the company next door.
This time, I ate [backfat soy sauce ramen and mini ankake fried rice set].
Originally, Chinese noodles were light, but the addition of back fat makes them richer. The white, low-hydration homemade noodles are chewy and delicious. It was my first time to eat fried rice with ankake sauce, and it was delicious.
It comes with a salad and is a great value for less than 1,000 yen.
There are a lot of set menus that are good value for money, so I would like to go again.

When I brought the product back home, there were no toppings, the miso soup was wrong, and the egg I ordered wasn't included.
At worst, when I ordered gyudon but only received white rice...
This has happened about 6 times, and each time I have called the customer and received a reply saying they will fix it, but there is no sign of any improvement.
Just the worst. I have no choice but to go there because there are no restaurants open until late, but it's probably better not to go there.
There are limits to dereliction of duty.

Specialty Museums
Tono Furusato Village is a preserved folk village that offers a glimpse into Japan's old lifestyle and its deep connection to nature and faith. The village consists of old Japanese farmhouses surrounded by beautiful trees, each attended by knowledgeable staff ready to provide hands-on experiences and assistance. Visitors can explore the interiors of these traditional houses, each uniquely adorned with different charming displays.
A cute open air museum where you can walk through a bunch of traditional Japanese houses. On our visit we got to to even see some horses! Definitely worth a stop and especially if you have kids, they had so much fun running around.
Jessica N — Google review
A peaceful and green place to relax and get acquainted with history of local folk. Also a lot of local fauna ata this place. Toilets available at each 50 meters 😁.
I had such a fun time here!
It's basically a bunch of old Japanese farmhouses that they gathered into one place surrounded by beautiful trees and nature. However, each house had a person attending it, stoking the fires and willing to help you out if there was any hands-on experience you could try.
The interiors also had different traditional items on display so even if each house seemed similar they all had their different charm, making each one worth popping into.
My favorite were the ones that had the horses in them too. It's one thing to hear and read about how the people used to share their homes with horses but it was so special to be able to see actual horses and get a better feel for what it may have been like back when people actually lived there.
In the entrance there is a restaurant, gift shop, and some bathrooms. While there are provisions available to make the entrance house wheelchair accessible, once you get into the park itself it is nothing but uneven dirt/gravel paths and and steep steps to get into the houses.
A cool open air village that displays the moving condition. There was also a little exhibition. Unfortunately the opening times on Google were not correct so we had to really rush through it all.
The recreated village has a lot of traditional L shaped houses typical of this area.
These houses housed both the horses and the humans under the same roof, which shows how important the horses were to the lives of people living in this area during the Edo period.
If you plan to visit other sites in Tono, make sure you ask for the combined discount tickets. These will save you a few hundred yen.
We were not pleased that the site had an unscheduled closure - the staff at the park told me that they had announced this on their website but when I went on their website, I could see that the closure had been announced but only three days prior to the closure date. Hardly an advanced notice considering that most people plan their trips months in ahead, especially when visiting a remote town like Tono where it is difficult to book a reasonably priced quality accommodation!
If you are short of time, skip this place and visit Densho-en instead, it is closer to the town centre and it has everything Tono Furusato Village has albeit at a much smaller scale.
It’s a good place to kill time with a good scenery, if u are enjoy insert this is a good place
Tono Furusato Village is difficult to go to, but offers you the traditional view of rural Japan. It is a beautiful place, but pity it is so far away.
Basically it's old traditional Japanese houses with thatch roofs. The problem is that it's about the same building, 6 or 7 times. Some have a horse or a poney inside. That's all. The houses are big and beautiful, but they are just spread in a wide area, so you spend time walking between them.
Now here is the thing, you can see exactly the same house closer to Tono and for cheaper at tenshouen. On top of that, tenshouen has more interesting stuff to show, like a better and condensed version of the furusato village.
At the end of the village, close to the shine, there is a small barn with big wooden phallic statues, that can be surprising when you discover them without an explanation. Be careful if you are with kids.
So, I'd say not worth the time.

Hiking Trails
Mount Hayachine, the highest peak in the Kitakami mountain range, is a stunning natural wonder known for its striking alpine flora and breathtaking panoramic views. This majestic mountain is home to a variety of rare alpine flowers and vibrant autumn colors, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts. The area surrounding Mount Hayachine was designated as a Quasi-National Park in 1982, highlighting its exceptional natural beauty.
I hiked Hayachine on Sep 8, 2019 from Kawaranobo. I am posting my experience and some suggestions below with lots of photos. Hope this will be helpful since I could’t find most recent information.
I was planning to start from Kawaranobo and return from the Odagoe. However I learned that this trail was closed two years ago because of landslides when I arrived there. It wasn’t written on any website I had a look in English. Anyways this is the closest parking available location so I start walking to the Odagoe trailhead which is about 45 min further along the road. At the Kawaranobo there is a information center, bathrooms etc. I just started walking and noticed that a car stopped and took me to the trailhead. Thanks to this guy who is one of the people who are in charge of these facilities I dind’t have to walk this distance. There is a bus stop at Odagoe but I think the season was over. Check the timetable in advance. There is no hut or bathrooms on the way. You can buy a special bag for toilet at the information center. The suggested time from Odagoe is 2:20 and descending is 2:05. But I could make the summit in 1:25 and came back in one hour. Take your time and enjoy beautiful flowers. It is very rocky so make sure you have suitable shoes. Better to have gloves since you sometimes need to hold the rocks to climb. The total altitude change is 867 and summit is 1917 m. Although it wasn’t rainy or cold the clouds and wind blocked the view. The best season is from second half of June to mid of July. Today tora no o change color into red and it was amazing. There were some other flowers as well check the photos. People I met on the way were very helpful and kind. Some ladies shared home made mochi. Overall it was a great experience. Hope to visit here in June next year.
Side notes: there is another trailhead just across the Odagoe. It is going to the peak of the mountain in front of the Mt. Hayachine. It was written 1.5 km to the summit. I was about to try since Hayachine was very quick :))

The alpine flowers—especially Miyama Akebonosou—were blooming beautifully! 🌸⛰️
Although the rocky paths were quite slippery and challenging, I was completely soothed by the stunning scenery and delicate blossoms. 🌿✨
The refreshing scent of pine trees along the trail made the experience even more magical 🌲💚
A perfect hike that awakened all five senses!
Well worth the effort of the climb, fabulous views and really interesting diverse plantlife and animals that change dramatically several times during the climb.
(Translated by Google) Although the distance is short, there are many rocky areas and the scenery is amazing. The hiking trail is well maintained, the summit is wide and has a boardwalk, which reminds me of Mount Hoki Daisen, which is also one of the 100 famous mountains. On a clear day, you can see the best views.
(Original)
距離は短いが、岩場が多く、景色は最高。登山道は大変整備されており頂上部が広く木道が整備されており、同じ百名山の伯耆大山を思い出される。晴れていれば最高の景色が拝めます。
(Translated by Google) The weather was good and the view from the summit was spectacular. The climb from the Odagoe trailhead was surprisingly easy, but there were many unstable spots, so you may need to be especially careful on the descent.
(Original)
天気が良く山頂からは絶景が広がっていました。小田越登山口から意外とすんなり登れましたが足元が不安定な所が多く下りは特に要注意かも。
(Translated by Google) (November 4, 2025)
I went there the day before Prefectural Route 25 closed for the winter (it will remain closed until May of the following year).
From the Kawaranobo parking lot, it's a 30-minute walk along the side of the road, gaining 200 meters in elevation. From the Odagoe trailhead, the elevation difference is 650 meters to the summit. There are almost no ups and downs.
After a 30-minute climb through the forest from the Odagoe trailhead, you reach the tree line, which marks the start of your first trail. Because it was a clear day, Mount Yakushi spread out to the south, and Mount Kurikoma was always visible to the southwest.
The climb, which felt like walking over boulders, continued for 90 minutes. Because it was a clear, windless day, the ice wasn't too severe, so I didn't need to use chain spikes, but it's a good idea to bring them from late October onwards.
Once you reach the Kengamine junction, it's a parallel path to the summit. Incidentally, I had read in advance that Kengamine is a bear spot, so I didn't go there.
If you go a little further west from Okumiya Shrine on the summit, you'll come to an observation point where you can get a clear view of Mt. Iwate.
You should be able to see the Pacific Ocean to the east, but the boundary between it and thin clouds wasn't clear. However, behind Kengamine, you could clearly see the area where the sea merges into the land. I think this is probably Miyako Bay.

県道25号が冬季閉鎖される前日に行きました（翌年5月まで閉鎖です）。
河原の坊駐車場から車道脇を30分歩き、標高200m上がります。小田越登山口から山頂まで標高差650mを詰めていきます。アップダウンはほぼないです。
小田越登山口から樹林帯を30分登ると、森林限界となり、ここが一号目となります。快晴だった為、南側には薬師岳が広がり、南西側には栗駒山が常に見えていました。
巨岩の上を進むような登りが90分続きます。快晴無風の為、そこまで氷結が厳しくなく、チェーンスパイクは出しませんでしたが、10月下旬以降は携帯した方がベターです。
剣ヶ峰分岐まで来ると、山頂までは平行移動です。ちなみに剣ヶ峰は熊出没ポイントという事前情報を見ていた為、行きませんでした。
山頂の奥宮より西側に少し進むと、岩手山がハッキリ見える展望ポイントがあります。
東方面に太平洋が見えているはずなのですが、薄雲との境界線がはっきりしませんでした。ただ剣ヶ峰の後方に、海が陸に入り組んだ箇所をハッキリ目視できました。おそらく宮古湾だと思います。
(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day we climbed, but the view from the summit was still spectacular! It took 2 hours and 30 minutes to climb and 2 hours to descend. Bears are scary at this time of year, so I recommend ringing a bear bell!
As of October 11th, the leaves had not yet turned red. If you want to see the autumn leaves, I recommend coming around the end of the month! The temperature at the summit was 4°C, so it was very cold! I recommend dressing warmly!

登山した日はあいにくの曇りでしたが、それでも頂上からの景色は絶景でした！登りで2時間30分、下りで2時間かかりました。今の時期熊も怖いので、熊鈴を鳴らしていくのがオススメです！

It is a unique and famous peak that is unlike any other.

Nature preserve
Nestled in Ichinoseki, Sukawa Kogen is a stunning plateau located partway up the majestic Mt. Kurikoma. This unique destination boasts an extraordinary volcanic landscape characterized by serene lakes, lush marshes, and vibrant wetlands teeming with alpine flora. Visitors can also indulge in the area's hot springs, known for their strong acidity and reputed benefits for gastrointestinal ailments and skin conditions.
(Translated by Google) I went on October 6th.
The parking lot is full regardless of weekdays.
The autumn leaves near the hot springs were almost at their peak.
By the way, I have also included an image of the first fork in the road, which is easy to make a mistake when going for the first time. The correct answer is to proceed in the direction of "steam bath". If you turn right, you will return to the parking lot.
They were selling salt-grilled char (500 yen). It was delicious.
There was a restaurant and a hot spring, so it was a very nice place.

10月6日に行きました。
平日に関わらず駐車場は満車状態。
温泉付近の紅葉はほぼ見頃でした。
ちなみに、初めて行くときに間違い易い最初の分岐点の画像も載せておきます。「蒸し風呂」方面に進むのが正解です。右に進むと駐車場に戻ってしまいます。
イワナの塩焼き（500円）売ってました。美味しかったです。
食堂もあるし温泉もあるし、とても良い場所でした。

I stayed for a few nights, but it was sunny for two days and I enjoyed walking along the mountain path.
You can see Mt. Chokai in the distance from the open-air bath at Kurikoma Sanso and the mountain path.
The strongly acidic Myoban-Izumi Ryoban-Izumi hot water is quite rare and I felt very comfortable.

数泊しましたが、二日間晴れて山道の散策を楽しめました
栗駒山荘の露天風呂や山道からは遠くに鳥海山も眺められ満足
強酸性明礬泉緑礬泉の湯はなかなか珍しく気持ちよく入れました
(Translated by Google) I went to see the autumn leaves on October 10th.
I was told that it would be crowded during the season, so I made the correct decision to schedule to arrive at the parking lot at 8am. By 10 o'clock it was almost full.
The mountains were bright and beautiful at their peak.

10月10日に紅葉を観に行きました。
シーズンは混み合うとの事だったので、朝8時に駐車場に到着する様にスケジュールしたところ正解でした。10時頃にはほぼ満車状態でした。
見頃を迎えた山々は鮮やかで素晴らしかった。
(Translated by Google) I went there on May 31st. The fresh greenery was beautiful, and the magnolias, Iwakagami, and Skunk cabbage were still blooming. On the 28th, some roads around Kurikoma (closed in winter) were lifted.

5月31日行って来ました。新緑が綺麗、木蓮やイワカガミ、水芭蕉もまだ咲いてました、28日に栗駒周辺のルート(冬季閉鎖)一部残っていた道路が解除
(Translated by Google) Visited around 10:30 on 2024.10.17
The weather was nice and the autumn leaves were in full bloom.
The parking lot was full even on weekdays, so if you're planning on going this coming weekend, be sure to leave early!
