The station has local produce, regional products and a restaurant. The exterior photograph dates from 2014 and does not establish the current shop layout. Check the neighboring art museum’s admission and exhibition details separately.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
Formally Kitakamiyama Shintsuhoji Shokaku-in, this temple is known locally as Mido Kannon. Its founding story is presented as tradition. Respect worshippers and follow local rules on photography and entry.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
Look for Iwate Harumidori cabbage, grown chiefly around Iwate Town. The local agricultural cooperative describes it as sweet and tender summer cabbage. Check availability and origin at the shop.
