Osutaki and Mesutaki01 ／ Natural monument
Under the prefectural nature conservation ordinance there are 38 natural monuments. In the prefecture's list, Doshi has one: the kawanori of Omuro in Minamitsuru District (350 m of public water surface). Kawanori is a freshwater green alga that grows in flowing water, and the village chronology also records it as a prefectural designation.
02 ／ Matosama
In the bed of a tributary of the Doshi River lies a single slab of rock called Matosama. A legend says Yoritomo shot at a target 4 km away and that the fallen target remained as the rock. At the festival held every April at the waterfall below, the amount of white sand in the pool has been used to foretell the year's harvest.
03 ／ Mount Mishotai
The 96 ha of Mount Mishotai that straddle Tsuru City and Doshi form a prefectural nature preservation area. A gongen shrine stands on the summit, and the tourism association writes that old-growth forest of hemlock and beech remains around it. The prefecture's tourism site presents it as a mountain of faith where the priest Myoshin trained in the Bunka era.
