Ichinoseki

Ichinoseki is best known in Iwate Prefecture for Genbikei Gorge, where the Iwai River has carved a long rocky channel west of the city. The municipality spreads across southern Iwate in the Kitakami River basin, with agricultural land and low mountains extending toward Miyagi Prefecture. Ichinoseki was the seat of the Edo-period Ichinoseki Domain, while nearby Hiraizumi preserves temple and garden sites associated with the powerful Ōshū Fujiwara. Local food traditions are closely tied to mochi, served in many forms. Find related webcams across Iwate Prefecture to build a fuller picture of Ichinoseki and the Kitakami basin.
