- Sakiyama’s Blowhole
- Travel / Tourism
- Iwate Miyako-shi Sakikuwagasaki
- This is located across from Hidejima Island, and visitors can watch as seawater propelled by the force of the waves is pushed high into the air. The rising tide can push the water 6 to 15 meters high, and even 30 meters, when the sea is especially rough and a north wind is blowing, making this blowhole the largest in Japan. It has been designated as a National Monument and recognized by Sanriku Geo Park. It can also be viewed as part of an island tour sponsored by Miyako Jodogahama Boat Cruise.

Iwate Areas
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.
