Yakehashiri Lava Flow (Nationally Designated Special Natural Monument)

Appi Highland Nakano Ranch

A grassland area with a gap in the middle of a primeval forest of beech and mountain birch. It is surrounded by abundant nature and is the perfect location for picnics. Nakano Farm is covered in natural grass, and in early summer the area is filled with red azaleas (flowering period: early to late June).

Chie Falls

An unexplored waterfall that can only be seen by those who are prepared to crawl over it. Only the roaring sound could be heard from far up the mountain, and the figure could not be seen until it descended the steep slope and landed on the riverbed. The abundance of water and the cool blast created by the approximately 15m drop will wipe away all your sweat. The footing is poor, so clothing and shoes suitable for hiking are required. Chie-no-taki is a 30-minute drive from Anabata Station on the JR Hanawa Line, then a 30-minute walk.

Hachimantai Jukai Line

A road that literally passes through the sea of ​​trees in Hachimantai and connects Matsukawa Onsen and Fujishichi Onsen. A perfect driving course that connects with the Aspite Line at the top. You can also see the magnificent view of Mt. Iwate, a waterfall with a cool breeze, and the breath of ancient times (the source of hot springs). You can especially enjoy the wonderful scenery during the season of fresh greenery and autumn leaves. Passable period from late April to early November. However, the road may be closed when there is a danger of freezing.
