Places that are considered lucky in Feng Shui

This place, where Eboshi Rock and Sakurayama Shrine are located, is located on a topography called ``Suiryu Kanpou'', where the ``dragon veins'' that are said to bring good luck and money in Feng Shui converge.

The dragon vein that flows from Mt. Iwate, which towers behind Sakurayama Shrine, is carried by the Kitakami River and the Nakatsu River, and it is said that this place, located just at the confluence of the rivers, is made to be easily filled with power.

In Japan, Feng Shui has been considered very important since ancient times, such as when building castles.
When Morioka Castle was built in the past, did they choose the location with this dragon vein in mind?
Eboshi Rock's existence in this most powerful terrain may be the source of its power.
