Iwate

City Overview

Iwate Prefecture, which has many places colored by history and culture, such as Hiraizumi, a Hanamaki related to Kenji Miyazawa, and Tono, a folk tale of Tōno. Hiraizumi, which was declared a World Heritage Site in 2011, is a spot that attracts many people as a group of archaeological sites, including architecture and gardens representing Pure Land. In Tono, where the Kappa legend remains, you can feel the good old days and culture of Japan, and you can enjoy it even more when you visit it after learning about the history and culture of Iwate. The exploration of the LandChina coast, which has a series of cliffs and rock formations, is also attractive.
