Be a SAMURAI
Named for its dramatic, upright rock formations that resemble stacked timber beams, the Zaimokuiwa Rock Formation is a designated National Natural Monument and one of Tohoku's finest columnar jointing landscapes. Accompanied by an experienced local guide, explore the riverside pathway along the Shiroishi River, known in spring as an enchanting hidden gem where cherry blossoms frame the towering rock faces. The area also preserves traces of the historic Yamanaka Shichigashuku Highway, once traversed by samurai retinues.
