    Iwate Shiwa-gun Yahabacho Kemuyama
    This falls is about a ten-minute drive from the Morioka-Minami Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway. It is at the entrance to one of the climbing routes on Mt. Nansho. The falls is 7 meters high and 4. 5 meters wide and is notable for consisting of an upper and lower stage. It is known as a good place to escape summer heat and to absorb negative ions, features that attract many tourists who seek to cool off in the summer. In former times, the winter hunters who roamed Mt. Nansho prayed for safety by making offerings (“nusa”) to the gods, which is how the falls received their name. The area is beautiful for spring greenery and autumn leaves and other seasonal wonders, and in the river above Nusakake Falls is another waterfall, Kitanosawa Otaki Falls, 13 meters high.

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.
