Ezuriko - Ezuriko

Japanese: 江釣子 - えづりこ
Ezuriko - Ezuriko

It is an area of ​​Kitakami City in the central-southern part of Iwate Prefecture. It was merged with Kitakami City on an equal basis in 1991 (Heisei 3). The Waga River flows east through the southern part of the area, with the JR Kitakami Line and National Route 107 running parallel to it. The Tohoku Expressway also passes through the area, and the Kitakami Ezuriko Interchange has been built, and urbanization is progressing. Aiming to move away from rice monoculture, efforts are being made to promote vegetables and beef cattle. On the plateau on the left bank of the Waga River are the Nekoyachi, Gojomaru, Yahata, and Naganuma ancient tombs, which are estimated to date back to the mid-Heian period. The Ezuriko Tomb Group has been designated a national historic site, and is home to the Ezuriko Historical Site Center, which displays excavated items, and the Ezuriko Folk Museum.

岩手県中南部にある北上市の一地域。1991年(平成3)に北上市と対等合併した。南部を和賀川が東流し、それに並行してJR北上線、国道107号が走る。また東北自動車道が通じ、北上江釣子インターチェンジが設置され、都市化が進む。米単作からの脱皮を目ざし、野菜、肉用牛などの振興に力を入れている。和賀川左岸の台地に平安中期のものと推定される猫谷地(ねこやち)、五条丸、八幡、長沼の古墳群があり、江釣子古墳群として国の史跡に指定され、出土品を展示する江釣子史跡センターや江釣子民俗資料館がある。
