From the top of the mountain, you can catch the majestic view of the rising sun.
  • Kinkasan – known as the Golden Mountains, the Japanese people considered the Kinkasan as one of the three holy places in Tohoku. Before the 19th century, women had been forbidden to go to this place, but now it is open to all people who are looking for peace and tranquility. If you are planning to visit this holy place, you can explore the pyramid-shaped mountain that is found in the middle, which is surrounded by a shrine.
  • Doll’s Festival – also known as the Girl’s Festival, it usually takes place every 3rd of March. This celebration wishes that little girls will have a successful life in the future.
