Let's travel to Iwate

Iwate is located in the Tohoku region in the northeast of the country’s main island and it takes two hours and a little more from Tokyo to its prefectoral capital, Morioka City by Tohoku Shinansen bullet train. You can visit more popular places in the prefecture from other stations of Shinkansen such as Chusonji Temple, a component of the World Heritage “Hiraizumi – Temples, Gardens and Archaeological Sites Representing the Buddhist Pure Land”. The east coast of Iwate is a part of the Sanriku Fukko National Park that stretches out along the Pacific Ocean. Sanriku Railway runs along the coast line and stops at Kamaishi City, the host town of the Rugby World Cup 2019 and Myako City, a main fishing port where you can enjoy local seafood and scenic spots like Jodogahama Beach.
