天満宮の石馬(狛犬)
Small Tenmangū shrine features carved stone horse (石馬) and guardian komainu—excellent for texture, patina and cultural detail shots. Easy urban-access in Morioka; no gate fee. Best at golden hour or overcast days to bring out surface relief. Weekday mornings are quiet; winter snow adds atmosphere. Respectful behavior required; keep noise low and avoid climbing on monuments. Limited street parking—arrive on foot or by local transit.
