[2025 Hachimantai Attraction] Travel Guide for Mount Iwate (Updated Jul)

#helloautumn Mt. Iwate, one of mountains representing Hachimatai region, has been familiar as a mountain of faith to people since ancient times, and it is popular with many climbers still today. It shows various scenes depending on angle of view. Also known as “Nanbu-Katafuji” (the Nanbu domain’s mountain with one side of the flank shape uniquely resembling Mt. Fuji), it is famous especially for its beautifully spreading skirt of the east ridge and the rugged west ridgeline. On Mt. Iwate, there are seven unique climbing trails.

And the numerous stone Buddha statues as well as the Inner Sanctuary of Iwatesan-jinja Shrine transmit a tradition of mountain worship to the present day.

A trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand during the New Year 2025

From Hakodate Station to Morioka Station, I took the Hayabusa from Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station and arrived in a total of 2 hours and 27 minutes 🚅 ☆ Yakiniku Segawa I went to Yakiniku Segawa, which has been selected as one of the 100 best yakiniku restaurants. I ordered a medium-sized plate of salt-grilled meat, tempura meat, pickled vegetables, and beer. I especially like the liver. This time I visited alone, so that's all I ordered, but next time if I come with a group, I'd like to order steak. Many of the customers around me were ordering steak after all. ☆ Morioka Mikoda Morning Market It seems to open from 5:00, but I arrived around 5:40. ★ Kigu-no-bo First, I ordered the hittsumi I was looking for. There was a line. I found a space in the rest area and sat down. It was delicious. ★ Inoue Farm I ordered burdock soup ◎ I'd definitely like to order a set meal next time. ★ Direct sales store I bought some strawberries called Star Night. It was very sweet and delicious 🥺 The vegetables were all green and beautiful. ☆ Fukuda Pan Mitake Branch I arrived before opening time, but there was a line in no time! I ordered the limited-edition sarunashi jam. As expected, the bread was fluffy 🙆 Before coming to this store, I passed by "Fukuda Pan Nagatamachi Main Branch", and there was also a line.
