Nakase Park (Ishinomaki)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a park developed on the sandbar of the old Kitakami River where the Ishinomori Mannga-kan stands, offering an open and relaxing strolling spot surrounded by the river. The breeze blowing across the river surface is refreshing, and the view of the old Kitakami River's flow from the bridges presents a wide, leisurely, and summer-like landscape. Scattered throughout the park are character statues from the Mannga-kan, making it ideal to take a leisurely walk around the exterior right after visiting the museum. If you check the direction of the Kitakami River (downstream from Kaiboku Bridge) where tonight's fireworks will be launched from this location, you can visualize your viewing spot for the evening. Be sure to imprint Ishinomaki's river-town scenery into your memory during daylight.

Tips

The park area surrounds the Ishinomori Mannga-kan. Since there are spots with little shade, be sure to bring a hat and stay hydrated during summer. Restrooms are available at the Mannga-kan or public restrooms within the park. The next destination, Ishinomaki city center, is within walking distance by crossing the bridge.

Best time to visit

Plan for approximately 50 minutes. You can enjoy the view of the old Kitakami River in the afternoon light as it shimmers across the water's surface.
