The flavor of miso, Japanese cuisine’s staple ingredient, differs greatly between
regions. With a wide variety of ramen that incorporates miso from all over thecountry, customers can go on a culinary journey through Japan.

Sakuraya’s main attraction is Kamameshi, which is rice prepared in an iron pot,
topped off with salmon, salmon roe, and crab. The rice becomes slightly burned,
bringing another dimension to its flavor and texture.

The couple that owns this bright restaurant on the outskirts of town offers
delicious pasta, cheesecake, and unforgettable hospitality to their customers.
Handmade goods from local producers are also available.

This family-run store is in its 85th year of business. Throughout the four seasons,the third generation sister and brother will put a smile on your face with theircolorful pastry and Japanese sweets.

Shiratori Shrine

Feel more confident in your life quest.
“Shiratori” means “white bird” or “swan”. Since ancient times, thepeople of Shibata-machi and Ogawara-machi worshipped swans—celestial birds and messengers of gods. Many gods (kami) are being
enshrined here, but the most important one is Yamato Takeru-no-mikoto—a legendary warrior, who turned into a large white bird
after his death. He is a protector of all kinds of fighters, including
students and entrepreneurs!

Almost all locations

Bathing in cherry blossoms, there is an ancient shrine—a place
where many people have turned to have their wishes fulfilled. In thewarship hall of this shrine, you can see old ema—wooden picturescontaining someone’s prayers and wishes expressed in a metaphorical scene. Great warriors of old times, scenes from kabuki, swans—see how Japanese of the past expressed their desires to the gods!

Located on the bank of the Shiroishi River, Hanshoin is especiallybeautiful in the spring, when you can enjoy a view of the cherrytrees right from the temple. There are many adorable statues inthe temple, too—a 1000-year-old statue of Amida Buddha, a 16th
century statue of Shakyamuni Buddha from Myanmar and a statueof boddhisattva Kannon with a lovely heart-mark on her face!

Saishoin (The Temple of the West)
Remind yourself that everything has its origin.
Tortoises carved on the Saishoin gates refer to the temple’s
Sango (the name of the metaphorical site upon which thetemple is located)—“a mountain of the treasure tortoise,” butthey also remind us of the pond that used to be here. Visit toview the majestic garden created by the abbot of Saishoin andto pay homage to the grave of Kaijiro Takayama, who donatedthe cherry trees to Ogawara-machi.
