    Iwate Prefecture Morioka City Kamogawa Outer Mountain
    An artificial lake located a one-hour bus ride from Morioka Station. The lake was selected for inclusion in list of Top 100 Dam Lakes of Japan in 2005. An area of rich natural beauty located close to the center of Morioka City, the lake is frequented by outdoorsy types looking to enjoy fishing and camping. Particularly famous for its Japanese pond smelt ice fishing in winter, each year during this time the lake bustles with anglers and families. You can purchase a fishing license in the Gandoko Rest House and also rent fishing gear.

    Travel / Tourism
    Iwate Hanamaki-shi
    Lake Tase is located about a 20-minute drive from the Towa Interchange on the Kamaishi Expressway. It is an artificial lake, created by damming the Sarugaishi River, and it has been selected as one of the Top 100 Dam Lakes of Japan. Carp, crucian carp, and, in the winter, Japanese smelt and other freshwater fish are easily caught here. The lake is surrounded by a forested park, and visitors can enjoy the fresh greenery or autumn leaves, depending on the season. The Lake Water Festival, held at the end of July, features traditional performing arts, as well as canoeing, yachting, and other water sports, and at night, thousands of fireworks light up the sky.

  • Hachiman Numa Lake
    Travel / Tourism
    Iwate Pref. Hachimantaishi
    This is Japan’s only shield volcano crater lake, near the top of Mt. Hachimantai. Surrounded by virgin fir forest and wetlands, this lake is about 1.5 kilometers around. There is a walking path, which takes about one hour, that offers a wonderful view of alpine plants such as Japanese daylilies, white skunk cabbage. We highly recommend the view of Hachiman Numa Lake from the peak of the mountain.

Iwate Areas

around-area-map

A northern Tohoku prefecture promising peace and quiet, Iwate is sparsely populated, replacing people with snow-capped mountains, history-rich sites, and fields of crops that are to thank for the region’s delicious local cuisine. Meander along the three-city Golden Route, where you’ll visit the grand Buddhist temples of Hiraizumi and the Tono folk villages before tasting the three famed noodle dishes of Morioka.
