“Local charm” = National Park Hachimantai
In the spring, when the snow is almost melting, Hachimantai wakes up from a long slumber and greets travelers with a variety of expressions, including snowy corridors, refreshing fresh greenery, and brocaded autumn leaves in the fall. It makes you feel so!!
“Local recommended tourist information”
Speaking of Hachimantai near the 1000m altitude (Gozaisho Parking), the autumn leaves are of course spectacular, but we also recommend the view of Mt. Iwate from this area!! It’s completely different from the Mt. Fuji seen from the Morioka side. Its rugged, powerful, and massive appearance makes it seem as if it is approaching the viewer. At times, it gently sweeps its base and towers over us, giving the impression that it is watching over us. “Mt. Iwate” is a beautiful mountain that truly lives up to its name as the father of Iwate. (*Mt. Iwate looks golden when lit by the morning sun, and especially purple when lit by the setting sun! Recommended for those who love photography!!)
