Kurikoma, Miyagi

Kurikoma (栗駒町, Kurikoma-machi) was a town in Kurihara District, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.

Established in 1955 with the consolidation of six municipalities, it was abolished in a merger forming the larger Kurihara City in 2005.

This area is less populated but a ski and spa resort is located southeast of Mount Kurikoma.

Both make valleys of 1 - 3 kilometers width on reaching the eastern area, which are mainly cultivated as rice fields.

The rest of the eastern half, especially almost all of the northeast quarter, was occupied by low hills of less than 500 meters height.
