Sakurano Department Store in Kitakami is a prominent shopping destination located near the Kitakami City Hall. While slightly removed from the main tourist area of Tenshochi, it stands as the city's only department store, offering a spacious and refined shopping experience. The store features a variety of departments, a first-floor food court with local specialties like Saito Confectionery's 'Kamome no Tamago,' and a restaurant area on the 4th floor. The East Wing, known as Twinkle Plaza, includes a 100-yen shop and a Konami Sports club. It's easily accessible by bus from Kitakami Station, or a 15-minute walk. Weekdays and mornings are ideal for a relaxed visit.
