    ちょっと閑散としていて活気がありませんでした。 もう少し活気があるといいですね。 受付の案内の人もやる気が無さそうでした。

    Iwate Kamaishi-shi Uogashi 3-3

    釜石の中心地からは少し離れていますが散歩がてら行ってみました。 金曜日の6時前に伺ったところ、建物はきれいですがあまり人もおらずにぎわってはいない様子です。 二階の飲食店エリアも少し寂しげ。 ただテラスから望む釜石湾の風景はそれなりに開放感はあるので、ランチなどで寄ってみるのもいいかも。

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.
