    The Yakehashiri Lava Flow is a lava field formed from a lava flow out of Mt. Iwate in the city of Hachimantai, Iwate Prefecture. There is a trail that visitors can follow to observe the lava field up close. It has been designated a Special Natural Monument, and many mountain climbers visit here. The area is also famous for having widespread blooming colonies of dicentra late in June.

Iwate Areas

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.
