- Kiyokawa area
Kiyokawa, a lodging town that prospered from ships plying the Mogami River.
Kiyokawa is just about in the center of Shonai Town where the Tachiyazawa and Mogami rivers meet. There are many objects at Goshonooji Shrine pertaining to the great general, Yoshitsune who spent the night there. The area is also where Hachiro Kiyokawa, a leader in times preceding the Meiji Restoration, was born and raised. Gotenbayashi Forest is an old battleground that retains traces of a battle between the Shonai Clan and the new government army fought in the Japanese civil war between Imperial and shogunate forces.
