[Morioka] Morioka, a city that makes you feel calm

#Spring0yentrip From Tokyo, it takes about 2 hours by Shinkansen to Morioka, the prefectural capital of Iwate Prefecture. At Morioka Station, the Tohoku Shinkansen and Akita Shinkansen are coupled and uncoupled, so if you have the time, I recommend you see it. When I entered the city, the first thing I saw was the Ishiwari Sakura. The cherry blossoms, which bloom by splitting a huge rock in half, are both powerful and quiet, and I couldn't help but stop and stare. Morioka Castle Ruins Park, located nearby, is also impressive with its stone walls and spacious grounds, and time flows slowly. It was cherry blossom season, and the petals dancing in the wind added color to the historic landscape, making it very beautiful. Nature and history blend into the city in this way, and just walking around makes you feel calm. Morioka is a quiet place, but it is filled with a certain charm.
