summer insect mountain

Natsumushiyama, at an altitude of 717m overlooking the ocean, is the northernmost spot for Japanese deer.

Kinka, and the view is so good that a fantastic scene unfolds during the fishing season. Surrounded by nature, you can enjoy a relaxing resort feeling.

Okubo Valley

The valley is a harmonious combination of the rich greenery of Mt. Okubo and a clear stream, and is especially spectacular during the deep greenery of summer and the changing leaves of autumn. This course is perfect for nature walks and hiking. You can also catch char. [Best time to see autumn leaves] Mid-October to late October

Fudo Falls

Fudo Falls, which seems to break the silence of the surrounding area, is called Otaki Falls on the right side and Onna Falls on the left side, and Fudoson, one of the five great kings, is enshrined next to it. The height of the Otaki Falls is approximately 15 meters, and when there is a lot of water, it looks just like the Oirase Valley. Fudo Falls has also been certified as one of Iwate's top 20 famous waters.
