    Morioka Castle is located in Iwate Park, or better known as Morioka Castle Ruins Park. Iwate Park is known for its beautiful stone walls, which are essentially treasures of the Tohoku region. The Iwate Park is best visited in the spring and is an ideal place to see cherry blossoms. In winter, the snow-covered landscape recalls a painting that takes visitors into a fantasy world. The leading early modern Japanese poets Takuboku Ishikawa and Kenji Miyazawa loved the castle ruins and even inspired them to write a series of poems about them. Monuments for both men exist as another attraction in this park.
