Iwate Area Map

Iwate is one of the biggest prefectures in Japan, but the transportation to sightseeing spots are not well-developed, so it is a good idea to rent a car to fully enjoy the variety of attractions it offers. Iwate is known for a variety of good local cuisine, including the rich sea foods caught at the long sawtooth coastline of Sanriku, Wanko noodle and chilled noodles in Morioka city, valuable Iwate short-horn Wagyu beef, and the best Wagyu beef, “Maezawa Beef,” as well as fresh vegetables produced at local areas all around the prefecture. You can also enjoy many hot springs with a good scenery. Why don’t you relax and enjoy the local cuisine?
