If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we can help out. Situated 16 miles away, Shiogama is worth hopping in the car for. Shiogama Shrine ought to be at the top of your list here. Shiogama Fish Market and Zuigan-ji Temple are also not to be missed. The locals will also likely point you toward Tome, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Dainen-ji Temple. (But we’re also huge fans of Mizusawa Prefectural Government Memorial Museum and Kofuku-ji Temple.)
