Located near Kurikoma-Kogen Station in Miyagi Prefecture, Yo! Japan's Best is home to an impressive, giant water wheel monument. This attraction offers a brief but memorable stop, especially for those interested in the historical significance of water power in rice paddy development. While the wheel itself may not be functioning, it provides a striking photo opportunity. Visitors can also enjoy a nearby carillon. It's an ideal spot to stretch your legs while waiting for the Shinkansen.
