Old Edo higan cherry, natural monument01 ／ Scenic spot
Yamatsuri-yama, in a prefectural natural park, was designated on 18 October 1948 and covers 668 hectares. The town calls the hill a grand scenic spot of strange rocks and the clear river, and says it is known as the 'Yabakei of Tohoku'. The red Ayu suspension bridge is 62 m long.
02 ／ Library
In its October 2007 Reading Town Declaration, the town calls Yamatsuri Mottainai Library, opened with over 430,000 books donated from across Japan, the 'treasure of our town'. It sets the third Sunday of each month as Yamatsuri Reading Day, with Mottainai bunko reading corners in community halls.
03 ／ Gorge
The town calls its gorge of 48 falls a 'hidden gem of the Abukuma', where the falls follow one another along a 3 km path with a height difference of about 300 m, rare even in the prefecture. It says strange rocks, old trees, spring dogtooth violets, summer green and autumn colour draw visitors, and posts seasonal photos of one of its falls.
