  • Kitayamazaki

    Iwate Pref. Shimoheiguntanohatamura Kitayama 129-10
    Gigantic and oddly shaped rocks jut out from cliffs 200 meters high for a stretch of about eight kilometers at Kitayamazaki, one of the world’s best examples of coastal scenic beauty. Since the dynamic series of rocks is reminiscent of a mountain range, this scenic landscape has been called “the Ocean Alps.” Stairs take visitors 736 steps down to the water’s edge, along them to experience the crashing waves at close range.

    Iwate Shimohei-gun Fudaimura
    This earth village is located at 40° North latitude in Fudai Village, Iwate Prefecture. Standing at the Kurosaki Observation Point or the Anmoura Observation Point, visitors can look down at the Pacific Ocean from the steep cliffs and see the curvature of the earth. It has also been designated a “geo site” of Sanriku Geo Park. Fudai considers Kurosaki Observation Point to be its symbol, and other impressive sights include East Point, which exactly marks 40°0’ 0”” North, and the waterfall at Anmoura, the steepest drop in Iwate Prefecture. The name of Anmoura Observation Point, which stands on the edge of a 100-meter cliff, is said to come from an Ainu word that refers to demons and ghosts.

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.
