A continuation of Solo travel in Hachinohe Part1. My next place was a vast park, Miyagi Park. It took for 5 minutes from JR Hon-Hachinohe Station.

The Japanese garden surrounded by Japanese trees of pine, maple, and cherry was tidy. I looked down Mabuchi River running through the town from a hill in the balmy May sunshine. There was a country view with fresh green on my right side and an industrial area on my left side. I thought that our ancestors looked down Hachinohe castle town long time ago just like I did. An old samurai residences with black high wall close to the park reminded me of ancient days.

I looked for specialty seafood downtown after that. Finally I found a local cuisine restaurant, La Plaza. I ordered Hachinohe Senbei Stew. Chicken, whitefish, mushroom, celery cabbage, burdock, and Nanbu rice cracker with soup based on salt were stewed in Nanbu Iron Pod. The dish was good for my stomach and relieved my fatigue.

You probably imagine Tokyo as a sightseeing spot in Japan, but Hachinohe is recommendable as well.
