Product Info

・The tour starts from the front entrance of "Cross Terrace Morioka."
・Known as the "Wall Street of Morioka," this place served as a bank during the Meiji to Heisei periods and played an integral role in the lives of the city's residents. However, its banking role has now come to an end.
・ Morioka Castle Ruins Park preserves the remains of Nanbu Morioka, the former castle town of Morioka, which flourished during the Edo period. Throughout the seasons, visitors can enjoy picturesque views, including cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, vibrant autumn foliage, and snowy landscapes in winter.
・Morioka is not only known for its specialty coffee shops with unique roasting techniques but also for its coffee culture deeply ingrained in the daily lives of its residents, who take pride in grinding their own coffee beans at home. Cafés are also an enjoyable part of the city's coffee culture.
・As a brief stop, you will encounter Morioka's traditions at the Local Kraft Factory, where you can explore Nanbu Senbei (rice crackers), Nanbu Tekki (cast ironware), Shikon-zome (traditional dyeing), and the Gozaku Shop.
