Genbei-kei George is a small gorge, that being said one should remember that most natural features in Japan are not on the scale of those in Canada or America. None-the-less it has a certain charm and is worth the time if you are in Ichinoseki. In our case we took a taxi out from the city to Takkoku no Iwaya Bishamondou Temple which is incorporated into the side of a cliff. It reminded me of some pictures I have seen of similarily situated temples in China. We asked the taxi driver to wait while we toured the temple grounds which took about 30 minutes
Then we asked him to take us on over to Genbi-kei Gorge. We spent about an hour walking and looking at the rushing water. Since this was mid-April the Cherry trees were in full bloom which made the place quite attractive. One of the novel things is that from the south side of the george, just to the west of the main bridge you can order dango by putting 400 yen into a basket which the shop keeper reels back across the river returning it with three dango (rice dumplings on a stick) and a couple of cups of tea. Not the best dango I have ever had but it is rather a neat way to deliver them.
We opted to take the local bus back into Ichinoseki since there were no taxis waiting, the cost was 450 yen per person.
On the shole worth seeing particularly if you are going to the aforementioned temple which is not too far distant, but further than you would want to walk.

もち食文化やって言うのが、道の駅厳美渓の餅の臼オブジェを見ても、ようわかりました。お餅はやっぱりつきたてが美味しいから、お土産物には日持ちするお餅はなかったです。レストランではもち膳が食べれます。

800年前の、中世の荘園古絵図のまま、集落が保存されている、奇跡の集落です。一の関駅前の観光案内所で、専用パンフレットをもらい、その古地図と現在の様子を、照合確認しながら歩くことをおススメします。とっても楽しいです。
周辺に飲食店などがないので、観光案内所でさまざま情報を仕入れていった方がいいです。事前予約すれば、現地ガイド（有料）もあります。
歴史ツウには超おススメですが、素人さんには向きません。ただの田園風景が広がるだけですから。

国道284号を一関から東進。恐竜に呑まれるようにして北上大橋を無事潜り抜けると、その右手。広い敷地を利用した大きな母屋は、明り取りや庇が、直線･曲線･塔形とバラエティ豊かで珍しい。左手のホット館には多種の食事メニューの他に、アイスも。

舟下りできる川です。北上川のような大きさではありませんが、舟下りのときに鳥や魚もたくさん近寄ってきます。本当に砂鉄が取れる川のようです。

正直、博物館としてはたいしたことはありません。唯一、でっかい「酒樽」の中に入る体験ができるのが、珍しいくらい、です。300円払って入るほどではないかな。
博物館よりも、併設のカフェやレストランの方をおススメします。雰囲気のよい、建物の中で、郷土料理を味わえます。

奥州藤原氏が滅んだあと、この地を治めた葛西氏。400年続いて、最後は、小田原攻めの秀吉に参陣しなかったことで改易となったという一族ですが、その企画展。ちょっとマニアックなテーマですが、展示は美しい品々でした。

ハム、ソーセージが売られているのを目にする館ヶ森アーク牧場は一関にあり、宮城との県境に近い場所にあります。ハーブや季節の花、レストラン、バーベキューエリアなどがあり、もちろん牧場で作られている商品が売られているエリアもあります。

I've visited many old house museums in Japan. This one, relatively modest but well-maintained, did appeal to me. Still in its original location, it has a sense of history that some old-house collections lack. The docent and I had a wonderful conversation despite our limited common vocabularies. Take a minute to look at the church next door.
