Travel information

Resthouse Ushio

Located on a hillside along National Highway No. 45. The Pacific Ocean stretches out to the east of the building, allowing you to enjoy your meal with a view of Fudai’s blue sea. Iso Ramen is a popular menu item that offers a gentle flavor with ingredients such as scallops, mussels, and locally sourced wakame seaweed. From spring to around Obon (mid-August), the nama uni-don (rice bowl) featuring fresh sea urchin from northern Sanriku is a favorite, with many repeat customers.

鵜鳥神社

This shrine enshrines deities for abundant fishing, maritime safety, and matchmaking. It is said that Minamotono Yoshitsune, while heading to the Ezo Area (current Hokkaido), spotted a golden u (cormorant) in this area. After praying for maritime safety and long-lasting good fortune in battle for seven days and nights, he received divine guidance and enshrined Unetori Daimyojin. The annual festival takes place on April 8th of the lunar calendar, in which many people involved in the fishing industry along the Sanriku coast visit the main shrine at the summit of Mt. Unetori, and the traditional Unotori Kagura is performed in front of the worship hall.

Home to Unedori Shrine in Tono City, famous as a spiritual spot for romantic success. The custom of matchmaking that has been passed down here in which men use their left hand and women use their right hand to tie together the branches of pine trees on the shrine grounds is believed to fulfill one’s wishes. The shrine is also known for its unique “Daidaikichi” omikuji (fortune-telling paper strips), which are quite rare nationwide.

  • Unotori Kagura Preservation Society

    The Unotori Kagura is a typical yamabushi (mountain hermit) kagura. It worships shishigashira into which the spirit from Unotori Shrine in Torii, Fudai village entered. It tours villages to pray for a rich haul, a bountiful crop and safety of family from January to March every year. The tour proceeds in Iwate, northbound to Kuji city and southbound to Kamaishi city in alternating years. Local residents host the kagura intimately calling “Unotori sama.” Since this form of the tour is unique and it maintains rare customs, Unotori Kagura is designated as the Intangible Folk Cultural Property by the state in 2015.
