    Iwate Oshu-shi Esashinakamachi
    The Esashi region prospered thanks to water transport on the Kitakami River starting long ago. This walking street incorporates merchant storehouses and other features built during that period. It's at the Odori intersection on National Route 456 as you pass through Esashi, Oshu City heading towards the Hitokabe River. The street laid with flagstones and townscape with shops utilizing old warehouses will leave you feeling you've traveled back in time. A multitude of shops sell traditional local products such as egg noodles and Iwayado yokan (sweet bean paste jelly). It's a great spot to pick up some souvenirs of your trip.

Iwate Areas

around-area-map

A northern Tohoku prefecture promising peace and quiet, Iwate is sparsely populated, replacing people with snow-capped mountains, history-rich sites, and fields of crops that are to thank for the region’s delicious local cuisine. Meander along the three-city Golden Route, where you’ll visit the grand Buddhist temples of Hiraizumi and the Tono folk villages before tasting the three famed noodle dishes of Morioka.
