    Morioka Machiya Monogatarikan is a civic multipurpose facility in the city of Morioka, Iwate Prefecture. A well-preserved building from Morioka's past, the Hamato Sake Warehouse, was remodeled and reopened as a multipurpose facility. Inside are shops that recreate the look of a Showa (1926-1989) period shopping district and a cafe where visitors can drink varieties of coffee that are unique to the facility. The multipurpose hall serves as the site of a wide variety of events, lectures, and other public occasions.

    Iwate Pref. Iwategunshizukuishichou Maruyachi 36-1
    A lonesame cherry blossoms (an Edo-higanzakura) on the Koiwai Farm—Japan’s largest private comprehensive farm—was planted as a “shade tree” to protect cows from the harsh sunlight of summer around 1910. It usually blooms during Golden Week. The contrast of cherry blossoms with lingering snow on Mt. Iwate is gorgeous.

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.
