1-Day Trip to Morioka, Japan
Known as the capital of forest and water, Morioka, the capital of Iwate Prefecture, is a castle town full of antiquated streets nestled amidst beautiful greenery and clear flowing rivers. Alighting from the train at Morioka Station, visitors are at first greeted by the modern face of the city and the hustle and bustle of daily life and commerce.
At the same time, old artforms handed down through the generations, an air of times past and a continued respect and care for nature evident in the people come together to create a nostalgic sense of peace and self-discovery. Come and take a relaxed stroll through the streets of Morioka.
Take a literary and historical journey through the city; a place where the Japanese author Kenji Miyazawa and the infamous outlaw Goemon Ishikawa spent their youth. Enjoy Morioka's local delicacies: its 'sandaimen' (3 famous types of noodles).

【English】All About Hiraizumi #1 －The Birth of Hiraizumi－
The first of the Fujiwara lords, Kiyohira, established the prosperity of the Fujiwara family.
Kiyohira was born in 1056. He lost his father in the Former Nine Years' War then in the Latter Three Years' War, when he fought against his half-brother, he lost his wife and children.
Having survived the vortex of war, Kiyohira finally become the ruler of Oshu, northeastern Japan. He developed the city of Hiraizumi, which was designed to be the capital of a truly peaceful country.
There are thought to be several reasons why Kiyohira chose Hiraizumi as the capital. Firstly, Hiraizumi was geographically very similar to Kyoto. Secondly it was a strategic point of water and land transport. Thirdly, the land on the eastern side of the Kitakami River, opposite Hiraizumi, was a highly productive area.
Kiyohira's territory extended from the Shirakawa Barrier in the South to Sotogahama in the north. Hiraizumi was right in the center.
To create a peaceful country, Kiyohira first restored the highway running south to north, and then built a pagoda in Hiraizumi.
This was the beginning of Kanzan Chuson-ji.
Chuson-ji is said to have been founded by Jikaku-daishi in 850. Under Kiyohira the temple expanded as he developed Hiraizumi as the capital of Oshu in the late 11th century.
In its heyday there were 40 temple buildings and 300 priests' temple quarters.
Most of the temple buildings were destroyed by fires in medieval times. Konjikido is the only building to survive intact as evidence of how Hiraizumi looked in the past.
