Tourist attractions in Iwate Prefecture

Luhai Coast National Park is located in the east of Miyagi Prefecture and Iwate Prefecture. It takes only 15 minutes by car from Miyako Station, which is a marine park famous for its unique coastal landscape. The park includes a narrow strip from the coast of Asami Kuji in Iwate Prefecture to Kesennuma Bay in Miyagi Prefecture, with a length of about 180 km from north to south. Generally, it can be divided into two parts: Miyako area in the north and Dachuandu area in the south. The coast can be divided into two parts from the origin of topography. One is a typical uplift coast, such as the northern coast of Miyako. Coastal terraces are well developed, with large-scale cliffs and reefs as high as 50 to 180 meters. Secondly, the typical subsidence coast formed by land subsidence is represented by the south coast of Miyako. It consists of peninsulas and promontories extending to the Pacific Ocean and bays surrounded by these peninsulas and promontories.

From the vegetation point of view, except for the black pine south of Chaishi coast, most of them are natural forests dominated by Korean pine. Because it is close to the mountains in the north, besides antelopes and deer, flocks of birds living on coastal cliffs and huge reefs, such as sea cats, black-waisted petrels and waterfowl, are also worth mentioning. Kuriku National Park spans Iwate, Miyagi, Akita and Samsung counties, with a distance of 65 kilometers from north to south and 47 kilometers from east to west. It can be roughly divided into three mountains, from north to north, Shaoshiyue Mountain Group, Lijushan Mountain Group and Ghost First Broken Volcano. It takes 1 hour and 40 minutes to get to Asahikawa Hot Spring from Guan Yi Station.

Shaoshiyue Mountain is a volcanic group formed on the basis of tertiary rock strata. There is a large beech forest growing on the mountainside, and other alpine vegetation can be seen on the top of the mountain. The main peak is Mount Curie (1548m), and the rest stretches about1200m. Its vegetation is roughly the same as that of Shaoshi Moon. The central volcano of the Ghost Shoubo Volcano Group is Panic Mountain (984m), and it is surrounded by Xu Jinshan (1243m), Daqingshan (112m) and Dachaishan (1083m). Some mountains in this volcanic fracture area are surrounded by the geothermal zone, which is considered to be the final phenomenon of volcanic activity. Huajuan Hot Spring Township Nature Park is located in the middle and west of Iwate Prefecture, in the center of Beichuan Basin. It takes only 25 to 40 minutes by car from Xinhua Guan Station. It is a park city centered on the hot springs scattered on the edge of Taichuan and Tangze Valley, a tributary of Beichuan.

Huajuan Hot Spring, together with more than ten hot springs such as Taitai, Shihuping, osawa and Lead, forms the famous Huajuan Hot Spring Township in Japan, and there are only a handful of accommodation facilities in Northeast China. There are Kenji Miyazawa's birthplace, memorial hall, Kenji Miyazawa Fairy Tale Village, Polish Square, Kenji Miyazawa Hattab Pavilion and other places built according to fairy tales. Hot spring is a major feature of Iwate Prefecture, and Han Juan Hot Spring is the largest hot spring resort in northeastern Japan. In addition to the cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring, there are also rose gardens and promenades on Wenquan Street, and the colorful and smooth spring is beautiful. If you want to be closer to the natural atmosphere, Fuyuan Waterfall is only ten minutes away from Wenquan Street, which can be easily reached on foot.
