This time, I'd like to introduce Venus-no-yu , a nearby hot spring, as a "Kanyo plus one".
Venus-no-Yu is a one-day hot spring facility located on the shores of Lake Naganuma, a colony of lotus.
You can enjoy the seasonal flowers and the blue sky in nature, and enjoy walking and marathon with the sparkle of water. There is a Futopia Park and Boat Stadium, and at the Tohoku Food Marathon in the spring and the Hyoroyama Park pier in the summer, you can board a sightseeing boat and see the spectacular view of Naganuma. After enjoying the healing effect of the natural bath, taking a hot spring brings out the natural healing power of the body and becomes a recovery agent.
It takes about 5 minutes by car from Venus-no-Yu to reach Futopia Park. Footpia Park has a campsite, a long 111m roller slide, and an athletic plaza. The windmill at dusk was so fantastic!
[Dutch windmill]
It is a wind turbine that operates only with wind power, which is only a few in Japan ordered from the Netherlands. Currently, it is operated by a windmill engineer every Saturday, Sunday and public holidays. The windmill, which stands on a small hill and is over 21m high, takes in the wind and is very magnificent, and many customers enjoy taking pictures and videos.

This time, I would like to introduce a historical park set up in a sandbar at the point where the Kitakami River and the former Kitakami River branch off.
Located on the border between Tome City and Ishinomaki City, this park is located in an artificial sandbar where the Kitakami River and the former Kitakami River branch off, and you can learn about the history of hydraulic control of the Kitakami River.
At the diversion point of the Kitakami River and the former Kitakami River, two sets of old and new wash dams and floodgates, which are separated by more than 70 years at the time of construction, coexist.
In August and September of 1897, a large flood occurred nationwide. The same applies to the Kitakami River basin. Government decided to drain most of the water from the Kitakami River to Oppa Bay via the widened Oppa River. This is the new Kitakami River.
As a result, the amount of water in the former Kitakami River can be adjusted at the former Kitakami River diversion facility. A 762m closing levee was built between the Tokinami-washing weir and the Wakiya-washing weir. This deadline is the current Kitakamigawa River Historical Park. The Tokinami closing levee and Wakiya lock were completed in 1945, the Tokinami and Wakiya locks were completed in 1945, and the Tokinami and Wakiya locks were built later.
The JR East / Kesen-Numa Line railroad tracks and railway bridges run on the north side, the Sanriku Expressway and its bridges on the west side, Prefectural Road 61 on the south side, and National Road 342 on the east side.
An observatory overlooking the entire park is set up, and on the north side you can see the state of the Tokinami wash weir, and on the south side you can see the historical buildings such as the Wakiya wash weir and lock gate.
