2025 Ichinoseki Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#2024TravelReview When you come to Iwate Prefecture in the northeast, how can you not experience the #Geibikei River boat trip at one of Japan's 100 scenic spots! Especially in autumn, the red and yellow maple leaves on the rock walls of the stream form a beautiful landscape painting. Driving to Geibikei is the most convenient means of transportation. You can also visit the surrounding attractions #Chusonji #Motsuji #Genbi Gorge, or take the tram and then transfer to the bus. The Geibi River cruise is a human-powered paddle boat. The boatman stands at the bow and uses a very long paddle to paddle forward. There are wild ducks swimming beside the boat in the creek, diving and water skiing from time to time. You can also feed the ducks, which is quite therapeutic. The boatman will also improvise a ballad called "Geibi Oiwake", and the loud singing will echo through the valley, which is quite interesting! It makes people unconsciously pick up their phones to record the video, it's awesome. The Geibikei cruise experience ticket price is ¥1800, and you can pay with PayPal which is good. After buying the ticket, you can go and board according to the time. It takes about 1 hour, which is a very good experience. #日本東北自由旅行 #東北枫赏 #日本百景 #Geibikei

#100 Ways to Travel After the Geibikei cruise, we checked into Bellino Hotel Ichinoseki in downtown Ichinoseki. This hotel is also a wedding hall. As soon as you enter the lobby, you’ll be greeted by the atmosphere of a wedding banquet, which is quite warm and beautiful. There are only guest rooms on floors 4-5, and floors 2-3 are wedding venues. In terms of price and room size, Belluno offers good value for money. A 20-square-meter superior double room costs less than NT$2,000 per night including breakfast. Although the room facilities are not new, they are well maintained, clean and tidy, the bed is very comfortable to sleep on, and there is a view from the window. Breakfast is semi-buffet style. The hotel will first prepare a whole set of special small dishes with ingredients from Iwate Prefecture, one portion per person, and then you can take the rice, soup, bread and drinks by yourself. The dining environment is quite elegant and the service is also good. It is a good choice for staying overnight when traveling to Hiraizumi, Ichinoseki, Chuson-in Temple, Genbikei, and Geibikei. #JapanTohokuFreeTravel #Ichigoku #BathtubHotel #100TravelWays

My unforgettable journey to Genbikei Gorge left me in awe of nature's magnificence. Opting to drive through the lush countryside, I eagerly anticipated the breathtaking sights that awaited me. Upon arrival, I was immediately captivated by the dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and the lush foliage that adorned the gorge. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the enchanting boat tour that took me through the heart of this natural wonder. As we glided effortlessly along the river, our knowledgeable guide shared the rich history and legends that make Genbikei Gorge so fascinating. Each bend revealed new, picturesque scenes that etched themselves into my memory. Reflecting on the experience, I'm reminded of the unrivaled beauty of Genbikei Gorge and the unforgettable adventure that combined the thrill of the open road with the serenity of drifting through nature's masterpiece. #myperfectstaycation #flowerlover #foodie #本地遊 #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #japan #sakura #cherryblossom

On this trip to Japan, we will take Pokemon fans who love Pikachu to see a special train ride called Pokemon with you. From Tokyo, use the JR pass to take the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Ichinoseki Station, Iwate Prefecture, the starting point of the train, which will end at Kesennuma Station. The train is decorated with cute and bright Pokemon characters. There are dolls, toys, and souvenirs. Children will be able to meet friends and play on the train along the way. This is an experience that everyone will definitely love. We recommend families with young children to try riding this train. #Get a discount without relying on luck #Travel to Japan by yourself #pokemon

Due to heavy snowstorms, our trip to Northeast Japan in 2023 caused a lot of trouble. When we arrived at Ichinoseki Station early in the morning, we found that the Geibikei cruise ship had stopped operating. We went to the tourist information center to ask a Taiwanese lady to provide Chinese travel information, and then ate at a ramen restaurant in the station. In the afternoon, we took the JR Ofunato Line at 2:17, expected to arrive at Geibikei Station at 2:46, and then took the 3:00 ferry. I was worried that I would not have enough time to get to the boat station after arriving at the station (even though the official website said it was a 6-minute walk). But as soon as I got out of the station, a bicycle rider came to greet me and asked if I wanted to take the boat, how many people I had, and whether I was Taiwanese. Then he took us to the boat boarding area to buy tickets. It turned out that he was a staff member. He was wearing a shirt with "Geibikei" embroidered on it. During the process, he even called to report and asked the boat to wait for our arrival before leaving! Why come to Geibikei? In the process of looking for scenic spots, I hope to focus on JR stations and try not to take buses (which will increase transportation costs), so I gave up the Mogami River in Yamagata and Genbikei in Hiraizumi; in addition, Geibikei is one of the three major rivers in Japan and is also listed as a 100-point scenic spot. It gets on and off the boat at the same point and the boat is the cheapest (1,800 yen); and you can also make an appointment for JR's Pokémon bus along the Otofu Line on weekends, which can connect the attractions into a line, but man proposes, God disposes. The cruise ship stops running in the morning and the Pokémon bus stops running on the same day, hahahaha! Geibikei is a valley where there is a large stalactite protruding from the rock wall. Its shape resembles the nose of a lion, so it is called Geibikei. The Geibi River boat cruise is a 90-minute cruise along the Geibi River. In winter, the boat is equipped with a charcoal stove (but we didn't burn it that day?), a warm quilt (covered), a transparent roof and openable windows. There are two people and the boatman, one at the helm and the other giving introductions in Japanese (with a little Chinese). Taiwanese will send Chinese DMs to passengers to check with their numbers. There are canyon rocks on both sides along the way, such as the Big Geibi Rock, Shelter Rock, Young Woman Rock, Zhuangfu Rock, Dafeiquan... etc. In fact, we couldn't understand the content of the introduction at all. We were on the boat, just looking at the gray and white rock walls, the winter snow scene, the snowflakes on the trees, the snow on the ground, and experiencing the mountain viewing show as if we were in a Chinese landscape painting, we were super intoxicated! There are several fun things to do while on a boat. You can buy feed (50 yen per bag) on ​​the boat to feed the ducks. The beautiful ducks will follow the boat. When you open the window and throw out the feed, the ducks will splash water to compete for the food. It's super fun! During the cruise, you will take a 20-minute break before going ashore and walking along the river bank. After crossing a bridge, you will arrive at the 124-meter Daegibi Rock. In addition to admiring the Fairy Tail Rock, Longqiantan, and Buxiao Rock, you can also transport stones and throw them (3 stones for 100 yen). It is said that throwing stones into the hole on the other side will bring good luck. A man on the same boat actually hit 2 stones, and everyone exclaimed. The boatman also gave them small gifts. The return trip ended with an enka performance by the boatman. I highly recommend that you arrange a unique human-powered round-trip stream rafting in Japan in winter. The white snow, steep cliffs, winding canyons and natural beauty allow you to admire the wonders of nature with your own eyes, leaving behind beautiful images and memories. It is worth it! It’s really worth it! #Geibikei should be the most beautiful fjord snow scene in Tohoku #2023 Travel Review

📍Cafe Morison A giant cello is placed in the center of the store, and jazz and classical music are played from vintage speakers. The retro atmosphere is amazing.

At Geibikei Gorge in Iwate, we experienced a river boat ride down the river. The lady who rowed the boat told us fun stories about the local history and nature, and it was very pleasant to move slowly along the way. With nature spreading out before us, the majestic scenery was soothing. With the sound of the river babbling and the birds singing, we were able to forget about our busy lives and relax. We had time to get off the boat and stroll through the valley, which was also great for getting up close and personal with nature. The river boat ride, where we could fully experience the charm of Geibikei Gorge, was an experience that both adults and children could enjoy. Geibikei Gorge is a place where you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, so be sure to visit at least once! #0yentravelNovember#Iwate

Geibikei Gorge (猊鼻渓) in Iwate Prefecture . Geibikei Gorge is one of the famous tourist attractions in Iwate Prefecture, Tohoku region of Japan. And it is one of the places that my sister recommends. This is a valley with limestone cliffs higher than 50 meters. On both sides of the road, there is a river flowing through the middle of the valley. In each season, this place has different beauty. You can visit all year round. . And the activity that must be done when coming here... is "taking a boat" to see the valley. Oh! It takes about 90 minutes for a round trip. During the boat trip, the boat captain will be the tour guide. At the return point, we can get on the boat to walk around the valley and see the "Lion's Nose" rock. And go "throw a stone to make a prediction". On the way back, we will listen to the folk song "Geibi Oiwake" that the boat captain sang to us. Oh!

#Rental Car Information This was my first time using Eki Rent-A-Car! The process is to first make a reservation via the website or by calling the office directly, then pay for the rental car at the Midori window at the station. There are some formalities to follow, so it's best to arrive at the office a little earlier than your reservation time. It takes about 10 minutes by car from Ichinoseki to Hiraizumi. It is famous as the town where the Oshu Fujiwara clan's headquarters were located at the end of the Heian period. At the time, it flourished as a major city second only to Heian-kyo. Even today, you can recall the prosperity of those days from the ruins of Chusonji Temple and Motsuji Temple.

#Natural Landscape Genbi Gorge in Iwate Prefecture, northeastern Japan, is a magical secret place carved by the magic of nature. Over the long years, the valleys and streams have been shrouded in a veil of mystery, attracting countless travelers to explore. As you step into Yanmei Creek, the first thing that catches your eye is the towering cliffs. The creek flows endlessly at the bottom of the valley, splashing water and forming charming curtains of water. There are towering ancient trees and lush greenery on both sides of the valley. The most unique thing about Yan Meixi is the "Flying Dumpling" experience😆. Visitors can put money into a basket and knock on a gavel at the pavilion on the other side of the stream. The shop owner will then deliver delicious Guogong dumplings and a cup of tea to them along the ropes stretched across the river. This ancient method of transportation makes people feel as if they are traveling through time and space, experiencing the wisdom and ingenuity of ancient people. 📸Attraction: Yanbi Gorge 📍Address: Takinoue, Yanbi Town, Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture #100 Ways to Travel #Japan Attractions #Tohoku #Iwate #Overseas Travel #trip

A museum that shows the sake brewing process, using a modified clay figurine that is the largest in Tohoku. It's about a 15-minute walk from Ichinoseki Station on the Tohoku Main Line. I stopped in because I had an hour to wait for the train. When I got there, I realized that there was a brewery restaurant, a cafe, and a direct sales store for sake, so an hour wasn't enough.

I would like to introduce the natural monument "Genbikei" in Ichinoseki, Iwate. The water source is Mount Kurikoma, and it is a tourist spot known as a scenic spot and natural monument. In spring, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and in autumn, the mountains turn red, so you can enjoy the scenery of each season 🤍 It is truly a scenic spot of great value created by nature! It is known that the lord of Sendai, Date Masamune, also left words of praise for this seasonal beauty. The milky water overlooking the valley from the suspension bridge called Goranbabashi is very mysterious, and the beauty of the valley felt very dynamic. Even in summer, you can feel cool when you hear the babbling of the river here ☺️✨ It is conveniently located just a one-minute walk from the Genbikei bus stop, and there is a parking lot nearby, so it is easy to stop by by car. If you visit Iwate Prefecture, which is known worldwide, why not visit it? #wintertrip #summertrip #domestictrip #Genbikei #IwatePrefecture #Iwate #Ichinoseki #naturalmonument #girlstrip #powerspot 📍Takinoueji, Genbicho, Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture
