- An arch bridge over the Hitokabe River, connecting Tateyama Historic Park and Mukaiyama Park, famous for its cherry blossoms. Completed in 1999, Yume-no-Hashi (Dream Bridge) got its name because its construction was a dream come true for the locals. The highest part of the bridge is 50 meters above the river. It has a view of the Taneyama Highland to the east, downtown Esashi to the west, and the Yakeishi Mountain Range. The view of the bridge itself from below is also popular, often featuring in photos with cherry blossoms or the nightscape. Sightseeing spots including Esashi-Fujiwara Heritage Park and Esashi Native District Cultural Museum are close by.

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.
