- Iwate Hanamaki-shi
- Lake Tase is located about a 20-minute drive from the Towa Interchange on the Kamaishi Expressway. It is an artificial lake, created by damming the Sarugaishi River, and it has been selected as one of the Top 100 Dam Lakes of Japan. Carp, crucian carp, and, in the winter, Japanese smelt and other freshwater fish are easily caught here. The lake is surrounded by a forested park, and visitors can enjoy the fresh greenery or autumn leaves, depending on the season. The Lake Water Festival, held at the end of July, features traditional performing arts, as well as canoeing, yachting, and other water sports, and at night, thousands of fireworks light up the sky.

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.
