Iwateyama Yakehashiri International Exchange Village

The Iwate Mountain Yakehashiri International Exchange Village, which spreads out at the foot of Mt. Iwate, is a facility blessed with natural scenery and equipped with facilities such as an auto campground, a cabin village, an observatory, and a hot spring facility. Adjacent to the site is the ``Yakehashiri Lava Flow,'' a national special natural monument with approximately 150 hectares of lava fields, where you can experience outdoor activities such as climbing Mt. Iwate, camping, and astronomical observation.

Appi plateau secondary beech forest

This is exactly what a green shower is all about. The ``secondary beech forest'' that spreads across the Appi Highlands is a beech forest that has been beautifully regenerated by the power of nature after being felled. The beautiful sunlight filtering through the leaves sways, and the sound of the treetops rustling in the wind tickles my ears. If you follow the trekking course starting from Buna Station, there will be no undergrowth and there will be guide signs every 25 meters, so you won't get lost even in sudden fog. One of the top 100 forests for forest bathing in Japan.
