Monument to Kenji Miyazawa (Ame ni mo Makezu Monument)
This monument is especially valuable, among all the many Kenji Miyazawa monuments, for the section of his famous poem “Ame ni mo Makezu” engraved on in in the handwriting of Kotaro Takamura. It was erected in 1936, but since some words were accidentally omitted, it was re-engraved in 1944. Crowds of people from all over Japan gather here every year on September 21st, the anniversary of Miyazawa’s death. It’s a 10 minute drive from Tohoku Expressway Hanamaki Minami Interchange.
