    Iwate Hachimantai-shi
    This driving course runs along Prefectural Route 318 from Hachimantai City’s Matsukawa Onsen. You can drive through the nature of Hachimantai Plateau on the way to Hachimantai Aspite Line via Toshichi Onsen. Although it is closed during the winter, you can enjoy a snow corridor with snow on both sides of the road after it reopens.

    松川温泉から藤七温泉を通り、アスピーテラインに繋がるルート。冬季通行止め。また冬季通行止めの前後期間は、路面凍結のため夜間通行止めとなるので、訪れる時には調べた方が無難です。アスピーテラインより空いています。 松川温泉から少し上ると、下倉スキー場の上級コースを横断します。クルマから見るこのコースは、信じられないほど急斜面に見えます。 景観はアスピーテラインより全体的に森が多く、少し劣るかもしれ...

    Iwate Pref. Hachimantaishi
    Hachimantai Aspite Line is a 27 kilometer driving course stretches from Iwate prefecture’s Hachimantai Gozaisho district to Akita Prefecture’s Toroko Onsen. It’s only open from mid-April to early November. From the time it opens to late April, the course is lined with snow to create a “Snow Corridor,” and in autumn the fall colors on Mt. Iwate and the surrounding forests offer an overwhelming sight. It’s 35 minutes’ drive from Tohoku Expressway Matsuo Hachimantai Interchange.

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.
