    Iwate Morioka-shi Atagocho 14-1

    江戸時代から盛岡城に縁のある場所。南部伯爵家別邸として1908年に新築造園された木造建築と庭園が見事です。秋の紅葉のライトアップが有名ですが、初夏の庭園は睡蓮や紫陽花が見頃。池の周辺を歩いたり、木陰のベンチでゆっくりのんびり。館内には行列ができる手打ちそば屋さん極楽野があり、庭園をみられる席でお蕎麦をいただくのが人気。駐車場もあり盛岡の身近なお出かけスポットです。

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.
