Located in Iwate Prefecture, Appi Kogen Ski Resort, is one of the country’s top ski destinations, often compared to resorts in Hokkaido due to its high-quality, dry powder snow. It features 21 runs with a good mix of beginner, intermediate, and advanced slopes, as well as long runs up to 5.5 km. Pros: • Excellent Snow Quality – Light and dry powder similar to Hokkaido. • Long, Well-Groomed Runs – Great for cruising and ideal for intermediate skiers. • Fewer Crowds – Compared to popular resorts like Niseko or Hakuba. • Modern Facilities – Good accommodation options, onsen, and dining. Cons: • Limited Après-Ski Scene – Quiet nightlife, more family-friendly. • Weather Can Be Harsh – Occasionally strong winds and cold temperatures. • Less Off-Piste Terrain – Not the best for extreme backcountry riders. Overall Verdict: We had a great time and the resort is a fantastic choice for those who prioritise high-quality snow, well-maintained slopes, and a quieter, more relaxed ski experience. Best suited for those looking for a less commercial resort compared to Niseko.

Despite early suspension of gondola and chair lifts up the hill top due to 4-5m/s strong wind on our last day of skiing, APPI is one of the best ski resorts in Tohoku region for intermediate and advanced skiers; especially, on sunny day, ones can enjoy those miles long non-stop scenic runs from hill top to bottom. However, catering wasn’t ideal comparing to resorts like Zao Onsen.

APPI Kogen Ski Resort is great, but the slopes are a bit too challenging. I nearly gave myself a heart attack — felt like I was racing to the bottom of the mountain!

Awesome resort! I rented my gear through appi and it was quick efficient and not too expensive. Pass is slightly more expensive than other ski spots nearby but this resort is awesome! There is a beginners area that’s a great place to learn and the gondola is really nice. Employees are nice. Food is good. They have decent gift shops and a spot to buy snowboards and skis and accessories.

The BIGGEST ski resort in north east region of Japan, how good is that? The only downside is that their lifts go pretty slow, with people falling when they get off you usually spend more time on the chairlifts than going downhill 😭some slopes are too flat in certain areas so you might stop in the middle.

It’s April and powder keeps coming. Tree run has powder up to my waist. I had so much fun riding here. The hotel is dated, somewhat clean. i ask to change room because mine smells like old carpet. But they are very hard to talk to and not willing to do anything about it. Instead, they brought in room refresher. :( What a miss opportunity. It could be a Top notch resort with such amazing snow and good views from each room. If they can only update the furnish a little bit. I am more than happy to offer them free design services to exchange family ski vacation. I have 20 years of architecture/ interior design practice in New York. Transform this place is so easy and inexpensive because the bone is good. Bar is in wrong location, no wonder there is no one there. Another miss opportunity to create business and provide social place. Restaurants are decent. Although they listed many options, lots of food are coming from the same place. So variety is not so great. Outdoor onsen is really nice and beautiful. You will have view of mountain in front of you. Water is good with no smell. Ski runs are supper nice. I love the black diamond that stretch to red and green in one straight shot-3km. You can go so fast, so fun. Tree runs are good, but trees are not so big like other resort. However, powder is so good that beats anything. Free shuttle from airport is also amazing. I can’t believe they sent a 20 person shuttle bus just for me. So overall, it’s excellent and I definitely coming back.

This review will include the slopes and the restaurants. Appi ski resort is the only one I know. For that it is hard for me to compare it with other ski resorts. I like it here. From what I have gathered the resort is smaller compared to European ones. But everyone I heard really thinks the snow there is some of the best they have tried. I would recommend to come after New Years Eve for a couple of reasons. During that time the slopes get quite busy, and you will have to wait to get in the lifts. Also at that time there are still many slopes closed. We are now in the third week of January and all of them are open. Including the snow park. This one is fun, with jumps and boxes, it is located at the bottom. During weekdays (at the moment), there is almost nobody on the slopes. Which gives you a lot of space to practice safely. You will find groomed slopes and a couple of ungroomed and tree runs. If you stay there for a longtime you might grow bored of the slopes. There are quite some possibilities for off-piste. There is a patrol which will actually take your pass away if caught. So it is probably better if you are using a day pass. That being said, my friend last year did a lot of off piste for weeks and never was bothered. Food wise there are 5 restaurants. Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian and Korean. All of them are Japanese style though. It doesn’t taste authentic. Italian one have edible pizza, but very tiny. Indian one was nothing special and rather expensive. Not much to say about the others beside the Japanese one selling ramen. That is probably the cheapest option. Taste good and the staff is nice. If you head out of the restaurant to get into the central area, you will find more food. Last year it was possible to get kebab, rather good. This year you will find Indian food. Proper Indian food. For 750Y you get a curry and a naan. Very tasty. This is the food you will also find in their restaurant located in Appikogen. Around this area you will also find stores that sell various products, food, gear,... I will attach some photos, bad quality but should give a wide sample of what you will find. The view from up there is not the prettiest I have ever seen but still, on a clear day, it’s beautiful. Enjoy and stay safe!

Beautiful and special, Dragon eye only can be seen during late May to mid Jun when snow jusy melt

This Spring is warmer than usual but May 5th seemed to be earlier to see the perfect dragon eye. The latter of May may be good timing this year, too.

I went to Kagami-numa in Hachimantai. The ice and snow covers of the pond begin to melt, forming an open ring of water around the edges, leaving a white disk in the center. Next, a puddle gathers in the center of the white disk, making the pond look like a giant eye. It is called "Dragon Eye". It is located on the prefectural border between Akita and Iwate prefectures.

The dragon eye is a famous tourist destination even advertised in Tokyo. The way in which the snow melts and the couler blue makes it look like a dragons eye. Would recommend it, but don't be fooled it's fairly cold up there because of its high elevation.

Great experience, fun drive up the mountain, definitely something you must see! Cute gift shops as well. Hurry and check it out!

Nice view. Dragon eye view every early June.

Not bad, but not great. Don't just come here to see the dragon eye. Make sure.you got some comfy shoes and a wind breaker jacket and walk the hiking path for some nature. The food and drink here is expensive and it can get pretty busy. Bring your own lunch or wait until you go back down the mountain to eat.

A good place to start exploring Hachimantai. You can find a lot of information about what to do in Hachimantai and points of interest. They have a gift shop and coffee from Lamp Restaurant

(Translated by Google) I was able to get a good deal on my purchases during the PayPay campaign. It was great that at the visitor center you could watch short videos for free. The parking lot was spacious and easy to use. (Original) ペイペイキャンペーン中でお得に買い物できました。 ビジターセンターでは、短時間プログラムで無料で映像が見れるのは良かったです。 駐車場広く利用しやすい。

(Translated by Google) (August 8, 2025) This is a rest stop before heading to the summit of Hachimantai by car. Its facilities are comparable to a roadside station. The restrooms don't open until 8:30, so be careful if you're stopping by early in the morning. It consists of two buildings: a specialty goods store and an information center introducing the area, allowing you to learn about the geography and nature of the Hachimantai area. Looking at the map, I noticed that some of the hot springs, such as Akagawa Onsen and Sumikawa Onsen, are still there, so it seems like updates aren't keeping up... but you should still be able to enjoy shopping and dining. (Original) (2025/08/08) 車で八幡平頂上に向かう手前の休憩ポイントで、施設としては道の駅と同等です。お手洗いは8:30にならないと開かないようなので朝早く立ち寄る場合は注意が必要です。特産品売り場とこのエリアの紹介をする建物の二つで構成されていて、八幡平エリアの地理や自然を知ることができます。地図見たら赤川温泉や澄川温泉といったなくなったところも残っていたので更新が追いついてなさそうですが…　買い物や食事などは普通に楽しめるかと思います。

(Translated by Google) After completing a ride along the Hachimantai Aspite Line, a road every rider dreams of, I stopped off for a break. The visitor center and local product center are located nearby. The visitor center hosts a variety of events, including information on Hachimantai's nature, the latest information, and trekking. You can see the various natural features and scenery of Hachimantai that you've just ridden through. (It's even more fun if you know about them beforehand.) The local product center next door houses a direct sales store and restaurant. I had some siphon-brewed coffee in front of the center. The high-quality water really brings out the flavor of the coffee. It was delicious. The staff were kind, and it was a wonderful time. (Original) ライダー憧れの八幡平アスピーテラインを走り終え、休憩と思い立ち寄りました。 ビジターセンターと物産館が併設されています。 ビジターセンターでは八幡平の自然、最新情報の紹介、トレッキング等の各種イベントが開催されています。今走って来た八幡平の様々な自然、風景を確認できます。（先に知っておけば、さらに楽しいでしょうね。） 隣の物産館には直売所、レストランが入っていています。 物産館前でサイフォンで淹れてくれるコーヒーをいただきました。お水が良いから、コーヒーの味がより際立ちますね。美味しかった。お店の方も優しく、良いひとときとなりました。

(Translated by Google) There are staff on hand to provide tourist information. However, even though we were heading to Hachimantai, they didn't tell us about road closures on the Jukai Line. They only told us they would find out about it when we got there, so it might be best not to get your hopes up too high. 😅 I wish they'd put more effort into providing accurate information and being more considerate to users. (Original) 無人ではなく職員が居るので観光案内もしてもらえます。ただ、八幡平に行くと言うのに樹海ラインの通行止め情報などは教えてくれず、現地に行って知ったなど「聞かれた事には答える」と言ったスタンスで、余り過度な期待はしない方なイイかも😅 もう少し利用者に寄り添って的確な情報発信に努めてほしいと感じた。

(Translated by Google) It's free to see, and I recommend going here before touring Hachimantai. (Original) 無料で見れます 八幡平回る前にここに行った方が良いと思います

(Translated by Google) A very good center where you can learn about nature and buy simple drinks. (Original) 自然の説明を見て教えて下さる とても良いセンター、簡単な飲み物販売あり

Tickets still at full price even though just 1 Lift is operating! Lots of beginner's piste. The management should create some park and a few jumps in case the lifts not operating. Very small snow resort but charging large resort prices. Rentals available but mostly old and basic gears.

Very good resort and the resort also provide Nanataki Ice fall tour from end of Jan to end of Feb. A great tour you have to experience. Sky lift, snowshoeing, and snowboat experience. Really one of the kind experience you can do..

Although we got a great deal when we visited (JPY1,500 per adult all day pass, plus free biscuit with grape-flavoured filling), that was because it was limited to only 2 runs with just enough snow to ski but not enough to avoid all the grass shoots growing through the snow covering and looking to trip you up as you turn. Still, the 2 runs were a decent length (2.6Km) and it was almost all to ourselves. The Shimokura runs were shut that day due to lack of snow, otherwise the ticket would have covered both. Disappointed with the food hall, only a limited number of choices available from the menu and ramen was average. Only 35mins from Hotel Appi Grand so well worth a visit to add some variety, and ski hire is cheaper here, so feasibly you could hire here for multiday ski at Appi Kogan when driving from Morioka and then return on the way back to Morioka.

Hachimantai Panorama us a nice ski resort. It's for beginners to intermediate level. They have 3 lifts and a sliding area for kids. They also have snowmobiles with banana boats to ride. A good family place. You can enjoy their onsen after a day on the slopes.

Great place for beginners and intermediate riders. Visited on Christmas Eve and Day 2023 and had nice powder on the sides. Absolutely no lines at the lifts.

I found this to be great ski resprt. As a tourist I prefer to see fewer other tourists while skiing. This resort is still a hidden gem from other spots and thats what I enjoyed most. The staff here are also very friendly. The runs were more of a family/beginner to intermediate level.

The only one ski resort to ski on Iwate Mountain. This ski resort is beginner/family friendly with wide and easy-slope runs. I do recommend to stay at Mountain Hotel, the Hachimantai-ski-resort's hotel, to get around this area Hachimantai. Busses runs around the downtown close by. You'll be able to enjoy nightlife as well.

Nice place to catch a great view of mt iwate and the surrounding harden lava trail. There is a 30+ parking lots available. The walking path is pathed i think using small loose lava rocks so please wear proper shoes when walking. After you reach the viewing platform simply follow the path back to the main road, turn left and walk about 15min back to the carpark.

Interesting place with a whole sea of black rocks which were lava erupted from Mt Iwate about 270 years ago.

Nice walk on very uneven surface, but worth it! Amazing views of Mt Iwate.

Visited late October but I think I arrived a bit too early for the fall colours. But nonetheless it was a very interesting scenery from what other attractions. The path could get quite rough at times so would recommend decent shoes.

Beautiful and fun to walk. Just a bit slippery. There’s a view point at the end of the trail. Best to walk around sunset time.

If you want to get experience a real volcano 🌋 and a massive field of hardened lava in Japan, this is the best place for it. The view of the Iwate San (Iwate Mountain) is fabulous.

An andesite black rock bands that flow from the northeast slope of Mt. Iwate are a spectacular observation route that allows us to walk through the panoramic landscape. It erupted in the 1700s and still there over 300 years, leaving little tree and traces of eruptions of the time. When we walked along the stone path It seems that we have gone to another world. In addition, the view of Mt. iwate makes it even more beautiful.

The mountain scenery seen from the train station and the rural village is lovely.

My Japanese sister brought me and my colleagues to see the remains of the Lava Flow from Mount Iwate. For the first time my colleagues and I see stretch of formation of solids lavas and you can see small pines trees growing from the solidy Lava... an amazing sight with the snow starting to melt at this time late April 2019...

Very pretty

Good chop

Iwate san is one of the most popular hiking areas in Tohoku. It is steep and quite challenging. Good hiking shoes and walking sticks are highly recommended as it gets very slippery because of the small rocks. There are 7 different trails. I used Yanagisawa trail which starts at Umagaeshi camp ground. There are three big parking lots where you can park hour car and get ready. There is cold tasty water fountain and bathrooms here. Yanagisawa is the most popular trail among the others. Approx. 5.5 km in total and 4hrs 25 min suggested ascending time. Descending is also very challenging and suggested time is 3hrs 15 min. I made it less then 6 hrs including the Ohachi meguri round walk at the top. Umagaeshi is 633 m high and the peak is 2038 m. So the altitude change is about 1400 m. The steepness start right away and continues all the way up. There are lots of places you can enjoy the view if the weather is nice. On the 8th station there is a big hut and natural water fountain. Very relaxing place and best place for taking break. It is around 2000 yen per night including sheets etc. The guy was very friendly. After a short break I decided to make the peak first and come back here for a longer break. From the point it is not very challenging except a short distance to climb the hill. Use the right to climb the hill and left to round the loop at the top. This will be easier. After the 2.5 station the route is split into two. The right one is the new road which is a bit longer but goes through the forest. It is more shady. The old road is open, there is not much trees and very rocky. You can enjoy the view but I found this one more challenging since it was slippery. I went up from the new road and down from the old one. There were beautiful flowers on the way. I posted here. It was totally fun and great hiking. Hope this comment is helpful.

The crown jewel in the long string of magnificent mountain experiences available in Iwate! On a nice day the views are simply epic!

Picturesque views all around the mountains and volcanoes, well worth a visit if it's a sunny day.

(Translated by Google) Speaking of home centers 😎 I went there to buy screws. Is it because there are fewer employees? Is the store too large? I couldn't find what I wanted 🤣 It's good that there's a wide variety of products. (Original) ホームセンターといえば😎 ネジ購入のため行きました 店員さんが少数だからなのか 店舗が広すぎるのか なかなかほしいものみつからなかった🤣品揃えが多いのはいいことですけどね

(Translated by Google) It's next to Aeon. It was easy to shop with rattles ☺️ (Original) イオンの横にあります。 ガラガラで買い物しやすかった☺️

(Translated by Google) It's a national chain home center, but this one also has a direct-from-farm store. It's a little different. I bought locally produced rice because it was cheap. (Original) 全国チェーンのホームセンターすが、ここは産直が併設されてます。ちょっと変わったところですね。地産のお米が安かったので購入しました。

(Translated by Google) The Homac Maezawa store has Aeon, McDonald's, Sukiya, Petras with good gas prices on Sundays, and Dynam, so it's in a great location and the staff are very helpful. There is a wide selection of products, and flower seedlings will soon be available. It's always easy to use and fun. There are plenty of parking lots, so it's easy to get to. DCM that was good to have Come to Homac and let's connect.

(Translated by Google) There are many different items available, which is convenient for DIY. You will lose track of time while browsing the various products. (Original) 色んなものが揃っておりDIYには便利です。各種製品を見ている時間の経つのを忘れるほどです。

(Translated by Google) The store is spacious and open. Rather than being crammed into a small area, the products are spread out, improving the selection. I was able to shop with peace of mind in the spacious store. The parking lot is not very spacious, as it is shared with Aeon. Except for the occasional event, you can easily park your car in front of the store. (Original) 店内が広く解放感がある。狭いエリアにピッシリ詰め込まれた品揃えしたよりある程度空間を空かした品揃えであり、選択が向上。 広々とした店内で安心して買いものができました。駐車場は、イオンと共同なので広々でず。たまに、イベントがある以外は、余裕で車が店内の前に駐車か可能です。

Very good food. Although there was not enough staff (notice said), service was OK. I did not get the ramen I wanted due to limited serving. The tuna rice as replacement did not disappoint me. Highly recommend.

Long time, well known stop for bikers and people out and about in Hachimantai. Food is good and portions are generous. It’s close to both the onsen area and the aspite, panorama and rainbow lines so it’s easy to find after a ride though the mountain side. Great place to take a break and fill your belly.

Wonderful little place for meal. Reasonably priced. Yummy steak and super yummy cheese cake. Very friendly!

Good food, accommodating, fast service, clean, English menu. Had 3 dinners here. 👍🏼

Our family had a delicious and relaxing dinner here! No kids menu, but they split a yummy pizza and ramen. My husband and I had the Angus steak and a fantastic wasabi chicken for an appetizer. They offered us an English menu that had good descriptions. Highly recommend if you're staying at Hachimantai resort to ski!

The menu is pretty much all Japanese and some items are limited to certain days, but there are pictures at least. Prices are a little high, but the food is great. It's a trendy place with cute staff and a chill atmosphere.

Delicious. The waitress was very kind to speak simple japanese for me to understand

The Red House at Appi Kogen ski area, on snow good place to replenish whilst on the mountain, I had Ramen, delicious.

Not the best food, many rooms for improvement. However, limited choices of eateries on ski slope.

The Red House is actually purple in color. It’s located in the middle level of the mountain, making it a very convenient place to catch lunch or serve as a meeting point.

Nice Ramen central location

I lost my snowboard while eating my lunch here with a bunch of friends. The ladies who worked at the redhouse found the board (thru ski patrol) and got the board back to me within 60 minutes. Thank you so much

Great snow great rooms we all loved how cheep it was

Great food, especially considering it in the middle of the ski mountain

A small farm with a market selling plants, seeds and flowers. Beside that, a cafe selling pasta, pastries and cakes for one to take five... most enjoyable is feeding the rabbit and alpaka at a cost of 100yen per pack.

A wonderful little place to bring your children! There are three main areas that are open year round; a petting zoo with alpaca, rabbits, and goats, a green house where you can buy plants, seeds, and garden accessories, and a cafe with souvenirs, ice cream, and some food. There are more areas on the opposite side of the road but they are closed in winter. There are changing tables for small children in the women's bathroom and in the handicap bathroom and there is also an extremely clean and relaxing nursing room. One thing that disappointed me was I was kind of hoping with a name like "Salad Farm" that the cafe would have a variety of salads or vegetable/vegetarian dishes but that was not the case.

Love to feed the rabbits Onsentamago is cheap and delicious

A great family place, they have a great restaurant, good ice cream, pastas and Japanese food. Best of all, they have a petting zoo with alpacas.

Wonderful place with great many selections

Petting zoo is my favourite activity here!

(Translated by Google) Winter illuminations and the season of fresh greenery From November 20th, an illumination event will be held only on weekends and holidays. Even in November, the temperature is only about 2 degrees, so we recommend going in winter gear. The entrance fee is 300 yen, but it is not expensive as it includes a drink. The only four types of drinks are coffee, tea, cocoa, and orange juice. However, be careful as the cocoa sells out quickly. There are some areas where the ground gets muddy, so it may be a good idea to wear non-slip shoes. In the season of fresh greenery in May, the weather becomes warm and it is a pleasant place to take a leisurely stroll in the clear weather. Adults pay 500 yen at the entrance. The main attraction is alpacas, but you will also be greeted by cats, aquariums with goldfish, rabbits, goats, ponies, and more. There is also strawberry picking, but be careful as it is fully booked until May. If you come here, we recommend buying seasoned eggs. They cost 450 yen for 10 eggs, but they are the most popular item. (Original) 冬のイルミネーションと新緑の季節 11月20日から土日祝限定でイルミネーションのイベントをやっています。11月でも気温は２度くらいしかなく真冬の装備で行く事をオススメ。入場料300円かかりますがドリンク付きなので高くはないです。コーヒー、紅茶、ココア、オレンジジュースの四種類しかないのはご愛敬。ただしココアはすぐに売り切れますので要注意。 一部に足元がぬかるむ場所が有るので滑りにくい靴で行くのがいいかも。 ５月の新緑の季節は暖かい気候になり晴天の中でノンビリ散策するには気持ちの良い場所です。入口で大人500円支払います。メインはアルパカですが猫、金魚などのアクアリウム、ウサギ、やぎ、ポニーなどが出迎えてくれます。イチゴ狩りもありますが５月までの完全予約なので要注意。ここに来たら味玉を買うのがオススメ。10個450円ですが一番の人気商品です。

The facility is nice. The heated natural hot spring water is salty and smells chlorine.

(Translated by Google) The building is new and spacious inside, making it a place where everyone can relax. I'm thankful for the shampoo and body soap available.However, the water was so hot that I couldn't stay in it for long... There is a sauna, but unfortunately there is no open-air bath. (Original) 建物は新しく、中も広々としていてみなさんがゆっくりすごせる場所。 シャンプーやボディソープもあり有難い🙏ただお湯が熱くて長くは入れなかった… サウナはあるけど、露天風呂がなかったのが残念かな

(Translated by Google) August 15, 2025 There are parking lots on both sides of the road. Parking lots 2 and 3 are on the opposite side of the facility. As I always say, I came here looking for value for money, but maybe I misunderstood; it was 700 yen for up to three hours. By the way, I was out in less than 30 minutes. I wish there was a one-coin plan, but there isn't. You can even bring a camper van here. Even a modest camper trailer can fit in, so this might be a hidden gem for those types of people. (Original) 2025.8.15 駐車場は道路挟んで両方向にある。第二第3は施設と反対側。 毎回言っているが、コスパ重視で来ていたが、勘違いかな3時間まで700円でした。 ちなみに私は30分かからずに出てきている。 ワンコインコースっていうのがあればいいんだけど、ないよね。 ここはキャンピングカーでも入って来れます。 そこまででかくないキャンピングトレーラーでも入れるので、そういった方は穴場かもしれません。

(Translated by Google) The water was colorless, transparent, tasteless and odorless. It was well cleaned and I was able to enjoy the bath very comfortably. (Original) 無色透明、無味無臭の湯でした。 キレイに掃除されており気持ち良く湯を楽しめました。

(Translated by Google) Both the hot spring water and the service were excellent! I enjoyed going back and forth between the hot spring and the cold bath. I was also able to make use of the time I had while waiting for a train transfer from Chiba Prefecture in the Kanto region, so I was very satisfied! It's about a 12-minute walk from the station. I'd like to stop by again! (Original) 源泉、接客共に素晴らしい！ 温泉→水風呂と繰り返しを堪能しました。関東は千葉県からの列車乗り継ぎの待ち時間も活用出来満足！ 駅から徒歩で12分程。 またの機会に立ち寄りたいです！

(Translated by Google) This was my first time in this hot spring. The washing area can accommodate 15 people in a row. There is only an indoor bath, but it is quite spacious and relaxing. There is also a sauna, and local customers were coming and going frequently. The changing room was also surprisingly clean. I didn't use the sauna this time, but I would like to try it next time. (Original) 初めてここの温泉に入りました。洗い場が15人並んでできます。また内風呂しかありませんが、結構広くゆったり入れます。サウナも有り、地元のお客さんが何度も出入りしていました。脱衣場も意外と綺麗でした。今回はサウナには入りませんでしたが、次来た時は入りたいと思います。

A smaller sized resort, but they had some nice tree and side country runs for those that wanted to get off piste. Good for a weekday with fresh snow - no crowds much pow. (Update 5 Feb 25: hit it on a deep powder day. Knee-deep in the trees - amazing. Adding a pic of the menu too. Tasty ramen.)

A very small resort but Fantastic services by lift operators. Great trees runs. Large lunch serving. Free shuttle bus to Hachimantai ski resort. Lift tickets a bit pricey for small resort like this.

Great little resort, just 3 double low speed chairs to get to the top. So it can take about 30min to get to the top from the bottom. Fantastic runs and awesome tree runs, your allowed to go in. Best tree skiing resort. Definitely worth a visit for a day

It is a fun ski field. But, it is definitely not for total beginners. Hachimantai Ski Resort proper is much better for learning on. There are no runs to warm up or learn on and the easiest run is for those who can already reliably slow themselves on a slope. That said my nine year old had no issues on his third day ever skiing (he snow plows a bit but can weave side to side doing it and straightens up on the clear bits). The upper slopes (third lift) are very steep and fast so make sure you can confidently turn before attempting. Not suitable for kids up there unless they can ski very very confidently. The run down from the second lift to the bottom however is great. There are lots of humps to play on and one of the runs has a section with a long rounded wall which was great fun. The restaurant is good. The ski rental is OK, but it's very small and takes some time, the equipment was fine though. The lifts are pretty basic chair lifts (one triple, two doubles) with no wind protection at all and fairly small and with a manual safety bar.

Shimomura ski area, is the best kept secret for ski area on Iwate's. A little high level but not crowded and great snow

Good snow condition ❄️❄️❄️ Not much people, chairlifts available only. But we had a good afternoon here 👍🏻😊

We loved the tree skiing here. It was fun.

Amazing waterfall. Plenty of snow in early April but please note that the paths are covered over then

It was nice experience in a hot summer day. Not much water but the atmosphere was cool and refreshing.

Great views from the bridge of the river, forests and mountains. There is a path and stairs that lead down to the river

This bridge overlooking the Matsukawa river is a famous spot for viewing the spectacular fall colors along this river gorge. If you're in the area in late October, this is a must-see spot!

Stop worth making, For the view is breathtaking.

Nice view

Beautiful red leaves in autumn time.

It's a must visit place if you are nature lover and if you want to enjoy and experience the beautiful sunset

I'd always wanted to go here and wasn't disappointed when I finally did. The walk around the top is not too strenuous, but can take a good 2 hours if you're taking photos and such. It also wasn't too crowded at the end of September, but started to show a bit of fall color. A wonderful place to see the sky and the mountain marsh flora.

We can enjoy the landscape of the Hachimantai national park by car. It takes around one and half half hour from Morioka city. The road to the Mikaeri touge pass is called the Aspite line. It is fun to drive with the excellent scenery.

(Translated by Google) I climbed from Lake Tazawa by bicycle in August 2000. The scenery is wonderful on both the Akita and Iwate sides. At over 1500 m above sea level, it is a worthwhile climb. It descends from Lake Tazawa to Kazuno, so the total is 1800mup. After this, I entered Fujishichi Onsen and took a bicycle ride from Osara Station. It's nice that it's not too hot even in summer. I rode my bicycle there in July 1992 and August 1993, but I don't have any photos. I remember that the weather was bad and cold. The rest house on the mountain pass had a stove even though it was summer. I remember staying at Hachimantai YH and Tazawako YH, but it seems they no longer exist. (Original) 2000年8月に自転車で田沢湖から登りました。秋田側も岩手側も景色が素晴らしいです。そして標高1500 m以上と登り甲斐があります。田沢湖から鹿角にかけて下るのでトータル1800mupです。このあとは藤七温泉に入って大更駅から輪行しました。夏でも暑くなくて良いですね。1992年7月と1993年8月にも自転車で上がっていますが写真がありません。天気が悪くて寒かった記憶があります。峠のレストハウスは夏なのにストーブが付いていました。八幡平yhや田沢湖yhに泊まった記憶があるのですがもう存在してないようですね。

Good pass, although quite foggy on top, the cycle up was nice and Not too steep! In the middle of the pass, there is a sulfur based onsen and a small attraction (sulfur stuff and small mud 'volcanos')

(Translated by Google) I am very grateful to be able to come here by car. The view is spectacular, and you can see Mt. Iwate in Iwate and Mt. Komagatake in Akita. There is also an observation deck and rest house, as well as a walking course. I guess it's the center of Hachimantai. (Original) ここまで車で来れること自体大変ありがたい。眺望はすばらしく、岩手の岩手山、秋田の駒ヶ岳など見渡すことができます。展望台やレストハウスもあり、散策コースもあります。八幡平の中心といったところでしょうか。

(Translated by Google) [Mikaeri Pass] A mountain pass located on the border between Iwate and Akita prefectures Towada-Hachimantai National Park There is a parking lot and a mountaintop rest house, and the view is good, with a panoramic view of the Ura-Iwate Mountain Range that extends from Mt. Iwate. On the walking path from the parking lot to the summit, there is an observation deck on the Mikaeri Pass ridgeline, from which you can see not only Mt. Iwate, but also Mt. Hayachine and Mt. Akita Komagatake. If the weather is good, you can also see Mt. Chokai. You can easily see the spectacular view without going to the top of Hachimantai. I would like you to take a drive and visit. Recommended level: ★★★☆☆ 2018.06.24 (Original) [見返峠] 岩手県と秋田県の境に位置する峠 十和田八幡平国立公園 駐車場、山頂レストハウスがあり、眺望がよく、岩手山から続く裏岩手連峰が一望できる。　駐車場から頂上までの散策路の途中見返峠稜線に展望台があり、岩手山はもちろん早池峰山、秋田駒ヶ岳などが一望できる。 天気がよければ鳥海山も望める。 八幡平頂上に行かなくても気軽に絶景を見ることができる。 ドライブがてら訪れてみてほしい。 おすすめ度:★★★☆☆ 2018.06.24

I visited this mountain on May 5th. Around 80% of the mountain path was covered by snow but I didn’t use climbing irons although I brought them. You can reach the top of mountain for only 30 minutes so a part of visitors climbed with very casual wear. I recommend here to those who want to casually enjoy climbing and nice views!

Awesome here, good environment and nice autumn leaf spot.

I had a chance to hike Hachimantai on August 10,2020. I would like to share my experience for those who like to hike here I should say this hike one of the best hiking experience for me in terms of the beautiful scenery. The hike starts at Hachimantai Mountaintop Rest area. You get here through one of the best scenery driving roads( Hachimantai Aspet Line). There are lots of photo taking spots on the way. The parking area is not for free here. There is another one about 100 m. away and for free. You can park there. It just takes few minutes to get the trial head. There is a bathroom on the way as well. The path is very well maintained and there is not much ascending. It is covered either with straight woods or rocks and concrete. It is not challenging at all. I think it is suitable for kids. Although it was foggy the scenery was spectacular. There are many crater lakes which make you hike fun. In May when the snow starts melting one of these lakes Kagaminuma forms a shape which looks like a dragon eye. The peak is 1613 m. The total course takes around 1.5 hour. You can go fast to make it shorter but I recommend you take your time and enjoy the nature. There are mountain huts with gorgeous scenery. There is a connected trial to Mt. Gentamori if you like to challenge yourself even more. Overall it is an amazing hiking trial. Highly recommended. Extra tips: there are outdoor volcanic hot springs with natural trials nearby. Highly recommended if you have time. Check out Goshogake, onamemoto and Fukenoyu hot spring

Very nice hike in snow (late May!), with the guide offered when you ride the nature bus from Morioka Station. I understand Japanese but I guess it is okay if you don't understand, just follow him, but you need to let them know when you board the bus perhaps. They asked and the Taiwanese aren't quite aware of such service. Walked through all the important sights with him. The dragon eye wasn't quite stunning that day, but the other ponds (or literally the swamps) were very beautiful. Unluckily the visibility wasn't that high but could still see nearer mountains.

Easily one of the most accessible mountain hiking areas in Iwate, just 20 minutes from the carpark over flat terrain and your already being treated with fantastic sights.

so cool

Come before the busy season it is peaceful and beautiful

Excellent Italian food served with sincerity and enthusiasm by an old couple. German potato pizza and carbonara were the standouts. Restaurant was charming and cozy. Do come early as there are limited seats!

Quaint little cottage in the woods. The food was wonderful and make me feel at home.

La Mia Mamma is a small Italian restaurant in Hachimantai. The food is excellent with a good variety of pasta, pizza and calzone. They also have a good dessert selection. It seats less than 20 people, so it is recommended to make reservations before going. They also have a good selection of beer and vines.

This place is run by a old Japanese couple. They really love Italy, to the point that they visit it every year. The food is tasty, uses great ingredients and they are generous with the portions. I went for the set B. It came with entree bread (in this case it’s their cinnamon roll), a salad starter (which is like banchan in Korea), a pizza, a self blend herbal tea of rosemary, rose hips and hibiscus, and a dolce. It only cost me 1700 JPY. To be honest, with the ingredients used, I felt like they are not earning much. Such is the value of this place. The ambience is great and I love the authenticity of the place and the sincerity of the couple. Highly recommend this place.

4 Australians turned up for lunch - they greeted us warmly and served us delicious meals in a very friendly and homely atmosphere. Highly recommended after a big morning skiing.

As an Italian, I would love to go there cause it looks so nice and cozy, but unfortunately, there are no public transit options... However congrats to the owners! 💪😍🇮🇹

Charming little place run by a lovely elderly couple. Italian food, tasty and mostly on point. Great value. A fun stop! Make a reservation by email

The green is difficult But the meal is very delicious Good atmosphere and weather Nice experiences

(Translated by Google) In autumn, there are many fallen leaves and it is hard to find balls! Directions to the next course are difficult to understand. After the rain, the bunker becomes a puddle. However, the staff are kind and the course is fun to go around. Meals include an all-you-can-eat salad bar and soup. (Original) 秋だと落ち葉が多く、玉が見つからない！次のコースへの道順がわかりにくい。雨の後バンカーが水溜りになっている。 でもスタッフの方は親切で、コースも回っていて楽しいです。食事はサラダバーとスープが取り放題。

(Translated by Google) This is a golf course in a great location. It is thought to have been built during the bubble period, and is a fine club facility similar to those found in the Kanto region, but it is not possible to stay overnight. The food is delicious and there's a salad bar, so it's different from the rural golf courses in Tohoku. I want to go again. (Original) 素晴らしいロケーションのゴルフ場です。バブル期に作られたと思われ関東に有るような立派なクラブ施設ですが宿泊は出来ないとの事。ご飯も美味しくサラダバーも有り東北の田舎のゴルフ場とは違いますねまた行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) Even though it was midsummer, I was able to play in temperatures below 25°C (although it wasn't sunny). As expected of a resort golf course in Appi Kogen. I was satisfied with the fun I had playing. However, I felt that there were a few lacking facilities for blowing turf off shoes and a limited number of restrooms. (Original) 真夏なのに気温が25℃以下でプレー出来ました。 （晴天ではありませんでしたが） 流石、安比高原のリゾートゴルフ場です。 楽しくプレーが出来て満足です。 但し、靴の芝をエアーで飛ばす設備数やトイレの数等は若干少ないと感じました。

(Translated by Google) Staying at Golden Week. The queen course on the first day is not long, but it is technical. The championship course on the second day was long, and the Mt. Iwate course was especially difficult. The greens were fast and the score was disappointing... I'll practice more and come back! (Original) GWに泊りで。初日のクイーンコースは距離はないがテクニカル。2日目のチャンピオンコースは距離もあり、特に岩手山コースは難しかった。グリーンも早くてスコアは残念…。もっと練習してまた来ます！

(Translated by Google) Playing two-some with my eldest son. Appi's yogurt and ice cream are recommended as souvenirs. Lunch at ⛳ is also fulfilling. It seems like they don't have it anymore, but the horse sashimi nigiri sushi was delicious. The remaining snow visible on the mountain is Appi Ski Resort. (Original) 長男とツーサムでプレー。 土産には安比のヨーグルト、アイスクリームがお勧めです。 ⛳時の昼食も充実。今は無いようですが、馬刺しの握りずしが美味しかったです。 山に見える残雪は安比スキー場ですね。

(Translated by Google) I wish there was no two-some premium. The rough on the 123rd hole of the Iwate Mountain Course was so deep that I couldn't find the ball. Please mow a little more. Basically, the course was spacious and easy to get around without any undulations. It's resort golf. (Original) ツーサム割増が無ければいいのにね。 岩手山コースの123番ホールのラフが恐ろしく深くてボールが見つからない。もう少し刈ってください。 基本的にコース広々でアンジュレーションもなく回りやすいコースでした。リゾートゴルフですね。

Spectacular falls. Very peaceful. Amazing seeing the red bridge with the falls in the background. I went in early April so the snow was still on the path and you need hiking boots to fully walk on the loop track and get through the snow. In warmer weather though the track looks very easy.

(Translated by Google) There are some spots where the footing is slippery, but it's not far from the parking lot and you can see a very nice waterfall, so it's recommended. (Original) 足元が滑りやすい箇所もありますが、駐車場からそれほど距離もなく、とても立派な滝が見れるのでおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) Two days ago, I was very happy to go to Fudo Falls in Hachimantai City, Iwate Prefecture, a tourist spot recommended by a friend. It is a scenic spot certified as one of the "100 Best Waterfalls in Japan." Fudo Falls is located within the grounds of Sakuramatsu Shrine⛩️, and as I walked along the walking course, I felt very refreshed and healed by the negative ions emitted from Fudo Falls and other waterfalls. The weather was good and I could see the light✨, so I was thrilled to be able to visit a place known as a power spot🥹 (Original) ２日前に岩手県八幡平市にある【不動の滝】に友達のおすすめ観光スポットに一緒に行くことができとても嬉しかったです。 『日本の滝百選』に認定された名勝地です。 不動の滝は桜松神社⛩️の境内にあり散策コースを歩くと不動の滝等から発せられるマイナスイオンにとても癒され清々しい気持ちになりました。天気も良く光✨も見られパワースポットとして知られている場所を訪れることができたことに感動しました🥹

(Translated by Google) The statue of Fudo Myo-o, built in a natural cave, is incredibly cool. And then there's the waterfall. The red bridge adds to the scenery. There's a well-maintained promenade, so you can stroll leisurely for about 30 minutes, visiting the shrine and admiring the waterfall. There are lots of chestnut shells and chestnut burrs scattered around, and you can sense the presence of small animals. The park across from the parking lot is well-maintained, with several varieties of cherry blossoms planted, and I imagine it must be beautiful in spring. I stopped by a little early to check into my hotel, but it was such a lovely place that I ended up staying for a while. (Original) 天然の岩屋に作られたお不動様がめっちゃカッコイイ。そして滝。赤い橋が景観を盛り上げてくれます。遊歩道も整備されていて神社をお詣りしながら滝を見てゆっくり歩いても３０分くらい、栃の実のカラや栗のイガが沢山落ちていて、小動物の気配。駐車場の向いの公園も整備され数種類の桜が植えてあり、春も美しいだろうと思いました。ホテルのチェックインにちょっと早かったので寄ってみましたが、とても良い所で長居しました。

(Translated by Google) The waterfall is quite spectacular, with plenty of water. It is paired with a red bridge and the picture is quite beautiful. The trees along the way are thick and tall, and the air is fresh. (Original) 瀑布相當壯觀水量充足，配襯一條紅色橋，畫面相當優美。沿途樹木粗壯挺拔，空氣清新。

(Translated by Google) June 2025 "Fudo Falls" in Iwate Prefecture I'm glad I was able to come during the beautiful season of fresh greenery The waterfall is magnificent with a large amount of water On the way to the waterfall, there is a shrine on the right (Original) ２０２５年６月 岩手県の「不動の滝」 新緑の美しい季節にこられてよかった 滝は、水量がり見事な滝です 滝に向かってる途中、右側にお社があります

(Translated by Google) It is one of Japan's 100 best waterfalls. The road from the national highway to the parking lot is narrow, so we recommend driving slowly. It has a mystical atmosphere, but rather than being a power spot, it felt more like a place to heal the body and mind. (Original) 日本の滝百選の１つです。国道から駐車場までの道のりは狭い道路なので、低速走行をオススメします。神秘的雰囲気ですがパワースポットというよりは心身を癒すスポットに感じました。

GOOD SPOT

(Translated by Google) The facility seems to be quite annoyed by users who don't follow the rules (such as using prohibited lures). I understand their feelings, but it can come across as intimidating to users who are following the rules properly, so I would appreciate it if they could be more considerate in how they post warning signs. The fishing spot itself is recommended as you can enjoy using lures, bait, and grilled fish. (Original) ルールを守らない（禁止ルアーの使用など）利用者がいることで、施設側はかなりご立腹の様子。気持ちはわかりますが、ルールをしっかり守っている利用者にも威圧感が伝わってしまうため、注意書きの方法は配慮していただけるとありがたい。 釣り場自体はルアーも餌も、焼き魚も楽しめるのでおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) I went there during Golden Week. It's quite far from my house so I haven't been able to go there for a while, but it's a managed fishing spot that I've always wanted to go to. I'm really glad I went. The fish were ridiculously big, and I was excited, moved, and surprised like never before. I was sore the next day from catching fish one after another. The price was cheap and I really enjoyed the whole day. There was also bait fishing, so families seemed to enjoy themselves. I definitely want to go again. I'll buy a bigger net. (Original) ゴールデンウィーク中に行きました。うちからかなり遠い距離にあるので中々行けなかった、いつかは行きたかった管理釣り場でした。行けて本当に良かった。魚のサイズはおかしいくらい大きく、今までにない興奮と感動と驚きでそして次々と釣れるなんとも言えないひきに次の日筋肉痛。料金も安く１日本当に楽しめました。エサ釣りもあるのでご家族で来てる人も楽しそうでした。また絶対行きたい。大き目のネット買って行きます。

(Translated by Google) This is my favorite managed fishing spot where you can meet the powerful trout of Hirepin. It's a pity that there are too many aquatic plants, but I think I have no choice but to cover them with my arms. If it gets scratched, it will probably be cut. It's very powerful so it should be at least 4lb of nylon. It might be nice to play with the gutsy fish while looking at the beautiful Mt. Iwate. (Original) ヒレピンのパワフルトラウトに出会える大好きな管理釣り場です。水草が多すぎる部分が残念ですがそこは腕でカバーするしかないと思います。スレがかりしたら大体切られます。とてもパワフルですので最低でもナイロン4lbでしょう。 美しい岩手山を眺めながら、ガッツのある魚たちと戯れるのも良いかも知れません。

(Translated by Google) For bait fishing, I only needed one rod and bait (I caught 4 bugs).I was given a bucket and took 3 home for 1,200 yen. The water was very clean and I saw many people with large trout. I think the big ones are mountain stream fishing. Even elementary school students are given sweets on Children's Day. Now, instead of grilling the fish you catch, you will be charged 50 yen per fish up to 25 cm to remove the internal organs. Prices vary depending on size, processing amount, fishing location, and bait. Mt. Iwate is right in front of you and has a great view. (Original) 餌釣りは竿1っぽん、餌(ぶどう虫は4匹でした。)バケツ貸して貰って3匹持ち帰り1200円でした。 水が凄く綺麗で大型のますも連れてる人を沢山みました。 大型のは渓流釣りだとおもいます。子供の日の今日は小学生までお菓子をくれるそうです。 今は釣った魚は焼いてくれずに内臓を取るのに25cmまでは一匹50円取られます。 サイズにより処理金額や釣り場、餌のついかで料金変わります 目の前岩手山で見晴らしよいです

(Translated by Google) A managed fishing spot where you can catch some of the top 5 big fish in Tohoku. The trout here are usually 40 to 60 cm long, which are considered big fish in regular tube fishing, but there are also trout of 70 cm and 80 cm. There are also itou that are over the meter. For those who come, we recommend a rod suitable for big fish and a line of 4 to 6 lb. The price is about the same as other tube fishing. I think the difficulty level is relatively low, probably because weekdays are a day off and the fish are rested (however, it's still difficult to aim for 70 or 80). The pond is a little small...If about 15 people come, both the upper and lower ponds will be filled. Lures and lines may interfere with others, so please talk to each other and yield. Regulations prohibit lures over 10cm and lures under 2cm. (Please check the Facebook site for other regulations.) Also, it is prohibited to land fish for release. (*↓These fish were measured in order to take them home.) Lures, fly courses, rubber nets, and bicycles for stocking fish are available for rent. There are no rod and reel rentals. Starting around summer 2022, we will be selling lures (mainly aluminum) next to the reception desk. You can see Mt. Iwate from the fishing spot. Fishing while looking at Mt. Iwate is quite a pleasant experience. (Original) 東北でトップ5に入る大物を釣ることができる管理釣り場。ここの鱒は一般的な管釣りで大物と言われる40〜60㎝当たり前で70㎝、80㎝も居ます。メーターオーバーのイトウも居ます。来られる方はロッドは大物対応、ラインも4〜6lbをおすすめします。値段は他の管釣りと同程度。平日は休みで魚を休ませているからなのか難易度もそこそこ低いように思います（ただ、70、80を狙うのはやはり難しいです）。池が少し小さいです…15人くらいも来られると上池も下池も埋まってしまいます。ルアーやラインが他の人と干渉する事があるので声をかけあい、譲りあいましょう。レギュレーションで10㎝以上のルアー禁止と2㎝未満のルアー禁止です。（その他のレギュレーションはFacebookのサイトを要確認。）また、リリースする魚の陸上げ禁止です。（※↓これらの魚は持ち帰るため計測しました。）ルアー・フライコースはラバーネット・魚をストックしておくビクはレンタルあります。ロッド・リールのレンタルはありません。2022年夏くらいからルアー（主にアルミん）を受付横で販売しています。 釣り場から岩手山が見えます。岩手山を見ながらの釣りはなかなか気持ちが良いですよ。

(Translated by Google) If you like area trout and are a big fish fan, you should visit this place at least once. The average is 40 over, including rainbows and meter itou of 60-70. There's not much information on the internet, and the only official one is facebook? It is quite difficult to get there except by car. The walk will be longer. Still worth going. As a train angler, the information I needed was...Landing net rental available. What's a little special about the regulations? Is it prohibited to use two fly lures? Also, this has nothing to do with me, but bean spoons are prohibited (over 2 cm) It takes a long time to land with a standard UL or lower rod. I think we need a strong tackle. It's a place I want to go to again. (Original) エリアトラウト好きな人で大物派ならここは一度は行ってほしい。アベレージで40オーバー、60-70のレインボーやメーターイトウも入ってます。 ネットに情報少なく、公式はfacebookだけ？ 車以外ではかなり道のり困難です。 徒歩が長くなります。 それでも行く価値あり。 電車派アングラーの私に必要だった情報としては…ランディングネットレンタル有り レギュレーションで少しだけ特殊なのは フライルアーの二刀流は禁止位ですかね。 あと、私に関係ないですが豆スプーン禁止（2センチ以上） 一般的なUL以下のロッドだとランディング時間かかりますね。気持ち強めのタックルが必要だと思います。 また行きたい場所です。

Small museum describing the Matsuo Mine. Neat way to spend 30-45 minutes if you are in the area.

Great to see Matsuo Mine People's life! You can see the people's life who lived up in the mountain where was used to be a mine site in Hachimantai. You'll be surprised how big and prospered it was.

The museum contains many historical items relating to the mines past. Cold in here during winter!

Very interesting. Who would have imagined that Sulphur mining was such a big business?

(Translated by Google) This museum displays materials related to the sulfur mine, which once boasted the largest production in the Orient, and at its peak, over 10,000 people lived in the area located at an altitude of 1,000m, and was called a "paradise above the clouds." A railway line was laid from Oobuke Station on the Hanawa Line to Higashi-Hachimantai, where the museum is located, and a direct ski train also ran from Ueno. Unfortunately, the mine closed in 1972, but it was very educational to see the valuable items that show its history and past prosperity. It is also accessible by bus from Morioka Station, and admission is free. (Original) かつて東洋一の産出量を誇った硫黄鉱山、最盛期には標高1,000mに位置するエリアに1万人以上が暮らし、「雲上の楽園」と呼ばれた鉱山に関する資料を展示しています。こちらの資料館がある東八幡平には花輪線大更駅から鉄道も敷設され、上野からの直通スキー列車の運転も行われたとのこと。残念ながら1972年に閉山となりましたが、その歴史や往時の繁栄が伺える貴重な品々を目にすることができとても勉強になりました。盛岡駅前からバスでアクセスも可能、入館は無料です。

(Translated by Google) I visited the museum because the abandoned apartment complex at Matsuo Mine nearby had an incredible aura. I was also grateful that the tour was free. Unfortunately, photography is prohibited inside the building, but there is an incredible amount of information available, so if you're interested in Matsuo Mine, it's a must-go. According to the museum, Matsuo Mine was the largest sulfur mine in the Orient and was in operation from the 1910s to the 1960s. In its heyday, the mine was home to an elementary, junior high, and high school, a department store, an entertainment center, and even a railway, and was so prosperous that it was home to an incredible 15,000 people. There were also many photographs from that time, and the number of children was impressive. The wonderful information was well worth seeing, and I would like to return. (Original) すぐ近くにある松尾鉱山の廃アパート郡がすごいオーラがあったので資料館を見学したくて訪問。 無料見学なのもありがたい。 内部は残念ながら全て撮影禁止なのだが、とんでもない充実した資料数で松尾鉱山に興味を持ったならば絶対行くべき。 松尾鉱山は資料館によると東洋一の硫黄鉱山で1910年代から60年代にかけて稼働していたそうで、全盛期は鉱山内に小中高学校やデパートや娯楽会館や鉄道までもあったそうでなんと15000人も生活するほどの繁盛ぶりだそうな。 当時の写真も沢山置かれており児童の人数も凄かった。 素晴らしい資料の数々は見応えありまた再訪したい

(Translated by Google) There was a mine in Matsuo from the Meiji to Showa eras. A wealthy man from Yokohama established a corporation and mined sulfur, achieving the highest production volume in Japan. However, due to international competition, prices fell and accumulated losses led to the mine being closed in the early 1970s. Various materials relating to the Matsuo Mine are on display here. There is a wealth of information and it was very informative. There are remains of houses near the former Matsuo Mine site, which can be seen from a distance. The mine site is not accessible due to water pollution. Iwate Prefecture has been managing the area since the mine closed to improve water quality, and it seems that the efforts have been quite successful. (Original) 明治～昭和まで松尾には鉱山があった。横浜の資産家が法人設立し硫黄を掘り採掘量は日本一であった。だが国際的な競争のため価格下落し累積赤字たまり1970年代初頭に閉山した。こちらでは松尾鉱山の様々な資料展示されてます。かなり豊富であり勉強になりました。旧松尾鉱山跡地付近には住宅跡などあり遠目から見れるみたいです。鉱山跡地は水質汚染のため入れません。岩手県が閉山後もずっと水質改善のため管理しています。成果もかなり出てるみたいです。

(Translated by Google) I entered the store for the first time in a while. It's always crowded when I go there. It's a shop lol If you go a little early It wasn't very crowded It was good 😊 I went there for the first time in a while ❕ The menu has increased a bit lol Today's order is Fried Rice Tsukemen S I ordered fried rice yakisoba S. It was delicious😋 Thank you for the meal😋 (Original) 久しぶりに、入店しました。 いつも行けば混み合って居る お店ですw少し早めに行ったら さほど混み合っていなかった 良かったです😊久しぶり行ったら❕ メニューが少し増えてましたw 今日の注文は、チャーハンつけ麺S チャーハンやきそばS 注文しました 美味しくいただきました😋 ご馳走様でした😋

(Translated by Google) watch it broadcast on tv I went So thick noodles It was my first time eating it. I could eat it piping hot till the end. 😋It had a gentle taste and was delicious. It had just been aired It was very crowded and we I waited for about 30 minutes💦 (Original) テレビで放送されたのを観て 行ってきました あんなにとろみがついた麺を 食べるのは初めてでした。 最後まで、熱々に食べれました。😋優しい味で旨かった 放送されたばかりだったので すごく混んでいて、私達も ３０分位待ちました💦

(Translated by Google) It's an old-fashioned Chinese restaurant, but it's very crowded at lunchtime and the food is delicious. However, if it's crowded, you can share your seat. You may have to wait 30 to 40 minutes to an hour for the food to be prepared😅It may not be suitable for families with small children! ? Water, tea, and service coffee are self-service! Please leave plenty of time to go eat 😄 (Original) 昔ながらの中華食堂と言った店ですが、お昼時は凄く混んでいて美味しいお店です。 ただ、混んでいると相席もあり。お料理が出来てくるまで30～40分～１時間程待つことも😅小さい子連れには向かないかも！？ 水・お茶・サービス珈琲はセルフ！ 時間に余裕を持って食べに行って下さい😄

(Translated by Google) This is my second visit. If you're looking for an affordable place to eat while sightseeing in Hachimantai, it's definitely here. Reasonably priced ramen at 550 yen and miso ramen at 650 yen. There is no curry, but there are plenty of noodles and set meals. On public holidays, the parking lot was so crowded that it was difficult to park. This time I ordered bean sprout ramen. The taste is normal. This feels like "bean sprout ramen". My family ordered the dandan noodle set and half ramen fried rice set. When I listened to the customers' orders, it seemed like everyone was ordering what they liked. The recommended dish seems to be the miso ramen. Last time I ordered miso ramen, I liked the simple taste, so next time I will order miso ramen again. This is a restaurant with roots in the area. (Original) 今回で2度目の訪問。 八幡平観光でお手頃価格な食事何処といえばやっぱりここかな。 ラーメン550円、味噌ラーメン650円とリーズナブル。 カレーはないけど麺や定食が豊富です。 祝日は駐車場に停められないほど混んでいました。 今回はもやしあんかけラーメンを注文。 味は普通です。これぞ「もやしあんかけラーメン」て感じ。家族は坦々麺セットや半ラーメンチャーハンセットを注文していました。 お客さんの注文を聞いていると結構みんなバラバラで好きなものを注文している様子。 おすすめは味噌ラーメンのようです。 前回味噌ラーメンを注文していて素朴な味で気に入ったので次回はまた味噌ラーメンにします。 地域に根付いた食堂です。

(Translated by Google) I visited Golden Week! ! The store was crowded, and some customers said, ``We'll keep you waiting for an hour!'' ” was said. (There was only one person in the kitchen and one person in the hall, who also helped in the kitchen.) surely,,, I waited for an hour for the ramen to arrive f(^_^; My daughter ordered the miso ramen, which is the restaurant's No. 1 item on the menu, and I ordered the vegetable tandan noodles. Both were salty (^-^; Dandanmen is spicy soy sauce ramen. There was no smell or taste of sesame seeds. (Original) GWにお邪魔しました！！ お店が混んでいて、なん組かのお客さんは『一時間お待たせします！』って言われてました。(厨房１人、ホールも１人でホールの方も厨房手伝っていました) 確かに、、、 ラーメンが来るまで１時間は待ちましたf(^_^; 娘はこのお店のNo.1とメニューにかかれている味噌ラーメン、私は野菜担々麺を注文しました。 どっちもしょっぱい(^-^;担々麺はピリ辛醤油ラーメンですね。ゴマの香りも味もしませんでした。

(Translated by Google) It takes a while for the food to come out. When I went, I waited for an hour. My friend had bean sprout ramen + mini fried rice, and I had gomoku yakisoba. My friend's bean sprout ramen came out first, and when I finished eating, I had my gomoku yakisoba. After I finished eating, it was time for mini fried rice. Some people can't wait and cancel and go home. The taste was delicious. (Original) 料理が出てくるまで時間かかります。 自分が行った時は１時間待ちました。 友人はもやしあんかけラーメン＋ミニチャーハン、自分は五目焼きそば。 最初に友人のもやしあんかけラーメンが出てきて、食べ終わったら自分の五目焼きそば。食べ終わったらミニチャーハンの流れでした。 待ちきれずキャンセルして帰る人もいます。 味は美味しかった。

(Translated by Google) Although the restaurant's name is "Drive-In Yamabiko," the menu is mostly Chinese and ramen. The ramen toppings and soups are quite tasty. The only downside is that the noodles are just ordinary, mass-produced noodles. (Original) 店名はドライブイン山びこですが、メニューはほぼ中華・ラーメン屋さん。各種ラーメンの具やスープはなかなか美味しい。惜しむらくは麺が極普通の量販麺なこと。

It’s a very tiny ramen shop but the food was amazing! The old couple that ran the place were very very nice!! Please come visit them!

(Translated by Google) It was a late lunch as it was open until 3pm. It seems that handmade soba noodles with natural mushrooms are recommended, so I chose "Naratake soba". The soba noodles were short country soba noodles, and the mushroom soup was delicious. When I looked behind me, I saw two dogs lying down. Where to eat? I thought that too, but it's probably okay since it's quiet and cute. (Original) 15時までの営業との事で、遅めの昼食。天然きのこと手打ち蕎麦がお勧めらしいので、「ならたけそば」をチョイス。蕎麦は短めの田舎蕎麦、きのこの出汁も効いて美味しく頂きました。ふと後を見るとワンちゃんが2匹寝そべっていました。食事する所に？とも思いましたが、おとなしくて可愛いのでいいでしょう。

This place is amazing. Ramen was delicious and fantastic value . Cost less than 1,000 yen . Owners very friendly . Place is full of character . Well worth a visit

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is run by an elderly couple. They say the soba noodles are handmade, so I ordered the hot mountain vegetable soba for 600 yen. They also offer cold mountain vegetable soba for 600 yen. The noodles were uneven in thickness, but they were chewy and delicious. The grated daikon radish that came with it was incredibly spicy...💦 It's self-service, but coffee is provided from the server, and I could somehow sense the owner's hospitality. During the day, regulars and businessmen came in one after another. (Original) 老夫婦で営まれていました。 手打ちそばとのことで、温かい山菜そば600円にしました。ちなみに冷たい山菜そば600円もあります。そばの太さは不揃いですがコシがありおいしかったです。 付け合わせの大根おろしの辛いことといったら…💦 セルフサービスですがコーヒーがサーバーで用意され、店主さんのもてなしの気持ちが何となく伝わってきました。 昼は常連さん、ビジネスマンが次々来店してきました。

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is run by a master who is known for his mushroom foraging skills.The main menu is soba and ramen. I'm going to eat soba. The master's hand-made thick soba noodles are more enjoyable for their texture than for their flavor. Although the soba noodles are quite short, they are very delicious. Since it was not the best season, there weren't many types of mushrooms, but the ``Nameko Soba'' made a good soup with natural mushroom mushrooms and chicken, and it was delicious😋 There are two dogs at the store, but they never bark. It's quiet and cute ❤️ I don't like animals and I'm a bit of a clean freak, but this store doesn't bother me. They've been cooking at the foot of the mountain for over 30 years, so I feel like they're okay with the dogs and a little dirt. This time, we heard from the master about wild plants and bears. It was delicious😊Thank you for the meal. (Original) きのこ採り名人で知られているマスターのお店です😊主なメニューは蕎麦とラーメン。私は蕎麦喰いにお邪魔しています。 マスターの手打ちっぽい太めの蕎麦は、風味よりも食感が楽しめます。かなり短いお蕎麦ですがとても美味しい。時期ではなかったのできのこの種類が少なかったですが「なめこ蕎麦」、天然なめこと鶏肉が良い出汁をつくり絶品でございました😋 お店には犬が2匹いますが絶対に吠えません。大人しくて可愛いです❤️私は動物が苦手で潔癖性でもありますが、このお店だけは気にしません。山の麓で30年以上も料理作ってくれてるんだから、犬や多少のよごれくらい良いじゃんという気持ちです。 今回はマスターから山菜と熊のお話しを聞きました。 美味しかったです😊ご馳走さまでした。

(Translated by Google) I had Zaru Soba and Hot Soba. The soba noodles varied in thickness, but were firm and delicious. Even the hot soba noodles remained chewy until the very end. All of the varieties of wild mushroom soba on the table menu were sold out, but I saw Maitake Mushroom Soba on the display menu, so I checked and found that there were only about two bowls left. I was able to enjoy plenty of Maitake mushrooms. (Original) ざるそばと温かいそばをいただいた。 そばは太さがまちまちだが、腰があってすごく美味しい。温かいそばでも最後まで弾力のあるそばを味わえた。 テーブルメニューには天然きのこそばの全ての種類が売り切れていたが、張り出しメニューに舞茸そばごあったので確認すると最後二杯分くらいだけあるとのこと。たっぷりの舞茸が堪能できた。

Accessibility: Great. Dedicated parking, decent hours. Customer Experience: Good. Nothing too standout. They deliver, though it's probably meant for workplace delivery, not home delivery. Food: Great. Kokage has a pretty unique flavor. While many of their dishes are typical examples of Washoku (Japanese-style), they arrange or season them a little differently than you might expect. They also have a unique dishes from southeast Asia. Prices: Great. Prices are on the lower end for the amount of food you get.

Nice simple but tasty food. The price range is reasonable and the food menu have enough variety. The staff is smiley and nice. Only minus point is that the table was a little sticky (but otherwise clean)

Delicious sweets in cozy atmosphere. I tried Ammitsu, a Japanese parfait. The combination of sweet beans and ice cream is so delicious. This is close to Hachimantai Ski Resort where you can go by bus. A13 is the bus number that goes to Kokage and the ski resort.

We visited this cafe for a quick snack and coffee. It has good snacks like cake and fruit dishes as well as an interesting atmosphere inside

The only reason

(Translated by Google) We tackled the Hachimantai Aspite Line from the Akita side, and as we exited it was already evening and dinner time, so we had dinner here. We were there just before last orders, but the staff accommodated us without a single complaint, which we were very grateful for. We had the limited-edition Hachimantai salmon fried set meal. It was tender and delicious. The wasabi soy sauce salad was also great. This is definitely a place I'd like to visit again if I come to Hachimantai. (Original) 八幡平アスピーテラインへ秋田側から挑み、ちょうど抜けた頃に夕方でディナー時でしたのでこちらで晩ご飯にいたしました。 ラストオーダーぎりぎりでしたが、イヤな顔一つせず対応いただき本当にありがたかったです。 限定の八幡平サーモンのフライ定食をいただきました。やわらかくて大変おいしかったです。サラダのわさびしょうゆもすごくよかったです。また八幡平にきたら寄りたい場所になりました。

We order Lamb set and omelette. My husband say this is the best rice he had.

(Translated by Google) First visit. Business hours from 11:00 to 15:00. It seems to be a directly managed store of Kitate Seimen. The location is along National Route 282, so it's easy to find. I think it's good because even if you come on the highway, it's close when you get off. Inside the store, there were chair seats, counter seats, and a small raised area. Soba hot water, tea, and water are self-service. Order by buying a meal ticket. I ordered the popular Maitake Tenzaru Soba, and the kids ordered the Shrimp Tempura Soba. I was surprised at the size of the tempura 👀 There were 4 pieces of Maitake mushroom tempura and green pepper tempura, and underneath that was fried soba noodles. Is the shrimp tempura soba also four shrimp tempura and shungiku? There was tempura, and there was also fried soba noodles underneath. It's fried crispy. It was very delicious and filling. I thought the soba noodles would be a little hard, but it didn't bother me that much. The soup was also good with just the right amount of flavor! It was probably the first time I had fried soba, and it had no taste, but I wonder what it was all about. What's good? I guess the crispy texture was good. I felt like I wanted to eat just that. It was really delicious 😊 I think I'll go eat there again. We don't have small children at home, but I thought it would be nice to have a children's menu. There also seems to be a shop in Kawatoku, the vegetable garden, so I thought I'd give it a visit as well. Chewy~😋 (Original) 初来店。１１時～１５時の営業時間。 北舘製麺の直営店になってるようです。 場所は、国道２８２号線沿いにあるので、分かりやすいです。高速で来ても、降りてから近くなのでいいと思います。 店内はイス席、カウンター席、小上がりとなってました。 そば湯、お茶、お水はセルフサービスです。食券を買っての注文です。私は人気の舞茸天ざるそばを、子供達はえび天ざるそばを注文。天ぷらの大きさにビックリ👀舞茸の天ぷらが４個とピーマンの天ぷらがあって、その下に素揚げしたお蕎麦がありました。 えび天ざるそばも、えび天が４本に春菊かな？の天ぷらがあって、同様に下に素揚げしたお蕎麦がありました。サクサクに揚げられてます。とても美味しかったし、食べ応えあります。お蕎麦は少し固めなのかなと思いつつ、そんなに気にならなかったです。つゆも、丁度いい濃さの味で良かった！ 私は、多分、初めて食べた素揚げしてたお蕎麦、味はないけど、何だろう。何かいい。ポリポリカリカリ食感が良かったのかな。それだけでも食べていたいなって思いました。 ほんとに美味しかった😊 また食べに行こうと思います。 我が家には、小さい子供達はいないけど、思ったのが、子供用のお子様メニューもあるとありがたいのかもって😅 菜園のカワトクにも、お店があるようなので、そちらにも足を運んでみようかな。 ごちごち～😋

(Translated by Google) I visited after 12:00 on a weekday and received a shrimp tempura bowl for 1,390 yen. Advance payment via ticket vending machine. There were four large, crispy fried shrimp. The sauce has just the right amount of sweetness and is delicious. There is also kakiage. I got to sample some Kamo Nanban soba. This is delicious, but I think it would be even better if it had a little more of the unique sweet flavor of duck. There are table seats inside the store, but many customers were seated at tatami tables. There were many cars parked in the parking lot, so I thought the restaurant was full, but the restaurant was quite spacious and only about half of the customers were there. (Original) 平日の12時過ぎに訪問し、えび天丼1390円を頂きました。券売機による前払い制。 サクッと揚がった大きめのエビが4尾も入っていました。タレは丁度良い甘さ具合で美味しい。かき揚げもあり。 鴨南蛮蕎麦を少し味見させてもらいました。こちらは美味しいけど、もう少し鴨独特の甘い旨味が効いていればより美味しいと思います。 店内はテーブル席がありますが、多くの客は座敷テーブル席にいました。駐車場に止めてある車が多かったので、満席かと思ったら、店内は結構広く、全体の半分強のお客で済んでいました。

(Translated by Google) While visiting Shin-Appi Onsen Seirukaku I stopped by a soba restaurant⭐︎ Second visit! The staff is very responsive! Is this the most popular one? Maitake mushroom tempura soba Order at the ticket machine. My husband had a large portion and I had a regular portion. The soba noodles are quite chewy and my husband likes them ❤︎ Tempura green pepper has elasticity~ Both the soba and maitake mushrooms were delicious! ! It was crowded at 11:30am on Sunday. As a soba lover, I was very satisfied (๑>◡<๑) Also, I have been going to the hospital because of bad back and knee problems. Usually it is said to be in the tatami room. Please give priority to the elderly at the table. I was allowed to sit down. There are only three seats Sorry(＞＜) thank you! (If I remember correctly, I was in the chair seat last time too. I received it) (Original) 新安比温泉静流閣に入りにきたついでに お蕎麦屋さんに寄りました⭐︎ 二回目の来店！ スタッフさん良い対応です！ 今回は1番人気？の舞茸天ざる蕎麦を 発券機で注文。 主人は大盛り、私は普通盛り 蕎麦はコシがかなりあり主人の好み❤︎ 天ぷらピーマン弾力あり〜 お蕎麦も舞茸も美味しくいただきました！！ 11時30分の日曜時間で混んでました〜 蕎麦好きの私、大満足でした(๑>◡<๑) あと、私は腰と膝が悪く病院通いしてまして 普通は座敷に〜と言われるのですが テーブル席高齢者優先にお願いすると 座らせていただきました。三席しかなくて すいません(＞＜) ありがとうございます！ (確か前回も椅子席に していただきました)

(Translated by Google) I went in as soon as they opened on Sunday. People were coming in one after the other. There were some good things about reading the reviews first. You have to buy a ticket first (maybe you can go back to the ticket machine after getting a seat?) And there was no menu at the seat. There was a ticket machine and a photo, but it was a little hard to understand, so I wonder if you might get stuck at the ticket machine? I had chilled grated daikon buckwheat noodles for 1,500 yen. The tempura was crispy, and the shrimp, sweet potato, green pepper, maitake mushroom, and eggplant were all delicious. Even the mini tempura bowl was a good price at 750 yen (with less rice). Weekday lunch seemed like a good deal, so I think I'll aim for that next time. The staff were also efficient and cheerful, which was nice. (Original) 日曜の開店と同時に入店。続々入店していました。最初に口コミをみたおかげで良かった事が。食券を先に買う必要がある事（席をとってから、食券機に戻ってもいいかも？）あと、席にメニューは無かったです。食券機と写真がありますがちょっと分かりづらいのもあって、食券機の所で詰まる可能性あるかな？ 冷やしおろし蕎麦1500円いただきました。天ぷらがさくさくで、海老、さつまいも、ピーマン、舞茸、茄子とどれも美味しかったです。ミニ天丼でも750円（ご飯の量が少なめ）でいいお値段。 平日ランチはお得そうだったので、次はそれを狙おうかな。 お店の方達もテキパキだし明るくて良かったです。

(Translated by Google) The soba and tempura are almost all delicious! However, the deep-fried soba is placed underneath the tempura, and I wonder if it's like the garnish for sashimi... I tried to eat it at the end, but it was so hard that I couldn't eat it (⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠) I'll ask about it next time I go to eat it (lol) (Original) そばも天ぷらもほぼほぼ！美味しいです！でも、そばの揚げ物は天ぷらなどの下にあるのだけど刺し身でいう、ツマのようなものなのかなー。。。最後に食べようとしてら固くて食べられなかったです(⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠)今度また食べに行けた時は聞いてみようと思います（笑）

(Translated by Google) This is a very delicious soba and tempura restaurant. The soba has a wonderful aroma, and the freshly fried tempura is also delicious. The restaurant has both tatami seating and table seating. (Original) とても美味しいお蕎麦と天ぷらのお店です。お蕎麦は香りも良く、また揚げたての天ぷらも大変美味しいです。お店は座敷席とテーブル席がありました。

(Translated by Google) Northern soba restaurant in Hachimantai City [formerly Ashiro] Maitake mushrooms are a specialty around here, the soba noodles are also made in-house, and the tempura is freshly fried, making it a great value for money and highly recommended. The photo shows a large serving of Maitake Ten Soba, chilled. 2025.4.5 revisited. The price has gone up. But I guess it's cheaper Tempura is always delicious (Original) 八幡平市【旧安代】にある、北の蕎麦屋 ここら辺は舞茸が名産で、蕎麦も自社製であり、天ぷらも揚げたてでコスパが良くとってもお勧めです。 写真は舞茸天そば、冷やし大盛りです。 2025.4.5再訪。 値上がりしましたねー でも、安い方かな 相変わらず、天ぷら美味しい

Nice

(Translated by Google) I visited on the 28th of Golden Week! At the foot of Hachimantai, you can enjoy the majestic Mt. Iwate and cherry blossoms from the back side where the remaining snow remains. Unfortunately, the married couple cherry blossoms are already famous... There were many types of cherry blossoms and there were cherry blossom trees in full bloom that I was able to enjoy. Every time the wind passes through, the cherry blossom petals dance in the wind. Flower petals rain down as if to say welcome, making you smile... The weather is nice on this day and the temperature is rising The natural scenery of the blue sky with clouds, cherry blossoms, and Mt. Iwate was very soothing! (Original) ゴールデンウィークの２８日に訪れました！八幡平の麓、残雪の残る裏側からの雄々しい雄大な岩手山と桜を楽しむことができます 夫婦桜が有名らしく残念ながら、すでに葉桜に・・ 桜の種類が豊富で満開の桜の木もあり楽しむことができましたよ 風が通り抜ける度に桜の花びらが風に舞い よおこそ、と言っているかのように花びらが降り注ぎます、思わず笑顔に・・ この日は天気も良く気温も上昇 青空に雲がたなびき桜と岩手山との自然が織り成す情景は、とても癒されました！

(Translated by Google) If the weather is good, you can see the best view of Mt. Iwate. And the rows of white birch trees are amazing 👏 (Original) 天気が良ければ最高の岩手山が見れます そして白樺の並木が素晴らしい👏

(Translated by Google) Visited 20230505. Free parking available. There is a restroom (available from 9am). The long walking course is 2.8km long and is well maintained and easy to walk. Since it is located at the foot of Mt. Iwate, it is possible to plan a longer course, but there is a possibility that the dog will not be accepted, so I think it is necessary to check in advance. You can enjoy the best forest bathing. (Original) 20230505訪問。無料駐車場あり。トイレあり(9時～利用可)。準備された散歩コースが長い距離で2.8kmがあり、整備もされていて歩きやすい。岩手山の麓に位置しているので、更に長いコースも計画出来るが、ワンコのNGの可能性もあるので、事前確認が必要だと思う。最高の森林浴が出来る。

(Translated by Google) It's a wonderful place to take a walk with your dog(*^^*) (Original) わんずと行けるステキなお散歩広場です(*^^*)

(Translated by Google) It is a forest park where you can fully enjoy the majestic nature, with neatly lined white birch trees, a wide lawn, a natural forest of beech and Quercus oak, and the majestic Mt. Iwate that stretches out in front of you. I was impressed by the fresh air and the scenery. (Original) 綺麗に並ぶ白樺の木々、広い芝生の広場、ブナやミズナラの自然林、目の前に広がる雄大な岩手山と、雄大な自然を満喫できる森林公園です。 空気のおいしさと、景色には感動しました。

(Translated by Google) GW is cherry blossom season, and cherry blossoms bloom around the grassland. There is a large pink and white couple cherry tree in the back right corner. It is a spectacular place where you can clearly see Mt. Iwate and Mt. Chausu on the other side. At this time of year, the yellow fig is also blooming. Kobushi blooms first. When I came this year, the stage was ready. (Original) GWが桜の時期で、草地の周りに桜が咲きます。右奥の方にピンクと白の夫婦桜の大木があります。 岩手山がよく見えますし、反対側には茶臼岳が望める絶景の地です。 この時期キクザキイチゲも咲いています。先にコブシが咲きます。 今年来たら、ステージが出来ていました。

Nice ，but rain that day

Wonderful !

Beauty

(Translated by Google) Early August 2025 I was disappointed that I couldn't see the columnar joints up close at Genbudo Cave, but after searching again, I found this site, so I decided to come. The autumn leaves have yet to come, but it was nice to see the greenery and columnar joints up close. If you're passing by, it's worth stopping by. [Other Information] The parking area is on the opposite bank of the basalt, on the west side of the river. Please refer to the red pin in the image for reference. (Original) 2025 08 上旬 玄武洞で柱状節理を間近に見られずガッカリしていたところ再検索するとコチラにもあったので来てみました 紅葉はまだまだコレからですが緑と柱状節理が間近に見られて良かったです お近くを通られる様でしたら立ち寄っても良いと思います 【その他参考情報】 車を停めるスペースは玄武岩の対岸、川の西側になります画像の赤ピンの場所ですので参考にしてください

(Translated by Google) It was raining when we went there, and for a moment, the parking lot was gone??? The parking lot was on top of river sand and rubble? I was worried about getting stuck, but we managed to make a U-turn without any problems. (Original) 雨降りでいったのですが、駐車場が一瞬？？？ 川の砂、がれの上が駐車場？ スタックしないか心配でしたが、無難にUターン出来ました。

(Translated by Google) You can walk right up to it. It's very impressive. It's perfect if you're looking for a cool spot. (Original) すぐそばまで歩いていけます。 迫力が凄いですね〜。 涼しさ求めるなら最適です

(Translated by Google) This scenic spot is located along Route 212, en route to Matsukawa Onsen and other places. I visited during the autumn foliage season. There is no dedicated parking lot, but many people have parked in the open area on the riverbank down the road. It's muddy and there are large rocks, so caution is advised if you're driving a low-slung vehicle. The columnar jointed rock surface is beautiful, and it was a great spot, combining well with the autumn leaves and the bluish river. I don't get to see columnar jointing very often, so it was great to be able to see this major natural phenomenon. It was also fun to be surrounded by nature and walk along the river. It was autumn, so the autumn leaves were beautiful, but it's a place that seems like it could be enjoyed in all four seasons. (Original) ２１２号線沿いの松川温泉などに向かう途中にある景勝地です。 紅葉の時期に訪れました。 専用の駐車場はありませんが、道路を下り河原のひらけた場所に駐車している方が多くいました。泥濘んでいたり、大き石とかもあるので車高の低い車で行く際は注意が必要です。柱状節理になっている岩肌が綺麗で、紅葉や青みがかった川と合わさりいい場所でした。 柱状節理をあまり見る機会がないので大きな自然現象を見ることができてよかったです。自然豊かで川辺などを歩いたりもできて楽しかったです。 秋で紅葉が綺麗でしたが、四季でいろいろな風景をかんじられそうな場所でした。

Nice little forestry museum

(Translated by Google) Everyone from small children to elementary school students can have fun playing and learning. Of course, adults too. I think it's good to use it for about 1-2 hours. You can also do small crafts. There are probably no places where you can eat, so if you have small children, it's best to consider when to use the facility. I used it in January, and it doesn't get cold even indoors if you wear a coat and jumper. ? ? ? Children may get hot while playing with play equipment. Slippers are available for rent indoors, but when I played with the play equipment, I ran around in my socks. Due to the location, there are stink bugs, so if you are not good at it, it is better to choose a season. By the way, is this January of course? There wasn't. There are hotels with hot springs, ski resorts, etc. within 5-10 minutes by car, so I think even the elderly can enjoy it🎶 (Original) 小さい子供から小学生ぐらいまで、楽しく遊んで学べます。もちろん、大人も。利用は１・２時間ぐらいが良い感じです。ちょっとした工作もできます。 食事ができる場所が多分ないので、小さい子供は、利用時間帯を考えておいたほうが良いです。 一月に利用しましたが、室内でもコート・ジャンパーを着れば寒くないです。？？？子供は遊具で遊んでいるときは、暑いかもです。 室内は、スリッパの貸し出しがありますが、遊具で遊ぶときは、靴下で走り回ってました。 場所柄、カメムシが出るところなので、苦手な方は季節を選んだ方が良いです。ちなみに、この時の一月は、当然？いませんでした。 車で５～１０分程度で、温泉付きホテルやスキー場などがあり、年配の方でも楽しめると思います🎶

(Translated by Google) The facility is beautiful, and there are activities for both adults and children to enjoy, from making wreaths to wood burning, using nuts and wood from the surrounding forests, all without the need for a reservation. The exhibits range from forest animals to the history of forestry in Iwate Prefecture, and there's even an opportunity to touch actual trees and take a simple quiz. I didn't have high expectations, thinking it was an exhibition facility for children, but I was pleasantly surprised. (Original) 施設も綺麗で周辺の森で採れた木の実や木材を使った工作もリース作りからウッドバーニングまで、大人も子供も楽しめる内容が予約無しで楽しめます。 展示内容も森に済む動物から岩手県の林業の歴史もあり、実際の樹木に触れたり簡単な？クイズもあり、子供向けの展示施設だと思い余り期待をしなかったのですが、良い意味で裏切られました。ま

(Translated by Google) You can enter for free at this facility where you can experience and learn about trees. My first impression is that it is aimed at children, but adults can also learn from it. The interior of the building is all wood-based, and I felt a sense of relief when I entered. I think it's great to be able to have a valuable experience with trees, which we don't usually think about, but it's a little difficult to visit from far away considering the access. I also used it while staying nearby. Although I visited in May, the surrounding nature looks like it has a variety of scenery that can be enjoyed in spring, summer, fall, and winter. (Original) 木についていろいろ体験や学びができる施設で無料で入館できます。 第一印象は子供向けのイメージですが大人も勉強になります。 館内もすべて木材が基調になっていて、入るとなんとなく安堵感を感じました。 普段はあまり考えることがない木について貴重な体験ができるのは素晴らしいと思いますが、アクセスを考慮すると遠方から訪れるのは少し難があります。 自分も近くに宿泊ついでに利用しました。 5月に訪れましたが周りの自然も春夏秋冬さまざまな風景が楽しめそうです。

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended! It was a fun place for both children and adults. You can touch and feel the soothing sounds of the many wooden toys. The slide is surprisingly fast, haha. I search for toys I like here and play with them at home. It costs money, but you can make crafts using natural materials, which is great for developing creativity. There were also some lovely crafts for sale. The staff were very friendly and the facility was very clean. As a user, I noticed that there were children who would roll wooden balls down the slide, causing a nuisance to others. I would like parents to supervise them closely. (Original) おすすめ！子供達はもちろん、大人も楽しい場所でした。たくさんの木のおもちゃに触れ癒されることができます。滑り台は速くてびっくりです笑　ここで気に入ったおもちゃを検索して家でも遊んだりしてます。お金かかりますが、自然の物を利用した工作も出来て創造力を育てるのにも良いですね。素敵な工作品等も売ってありました。 スタッフさんの人柄対応の良さ、綺麗さとても良かったです。 利用者様になりますが、木のボールを滑り台から転がす子がいて他の方の迷惑になってることもありました。保護者はちゃんと監督してもらいたいです。

(Translated by Google) At first, I didn't have any expectations and thought it was a formal facility, so I went in just to kill some time. This is located right next to Kenmin no Mori and Daiwa Royal Hotel's Active Resorts Hachimantai. Although there are no flashy or noticeable signs, you will be greeted by large trees as you enter. After taking your temperature and disinfecting with alcohol at the entrance, change into slippers and go inside. As it is a free facility, there is no luxury or fancy decoration, but the contents are simple and sturdy. Adults need to learn too...well, adults have to learn too, and they have to set an example for children. This is a facility where parents and children can interact with nature and feel the harshness, love, and transience of nature while learning together. There is a slide in the middle of the facility, and even adults can enjoy the thrill and amazement. This is a place where you can spend your time, even if it's free. (Original) 初めは何も期待せず堅苦しい施設と思いながら時間潰し程度に入館してみました。 こちらは県民の森とダイワロイヤルホテルのアクティブリゾーツ八幡平のすぐそばに位置しています。派手さや目立つ看板はないものの中に入ると大きな木々が出迎えてくれます。 入口で検温とアルコール消毒を済ませたらスリッパに履き替えて中に入ります。無料の施設のため豪華さや華美な装飾はありませんが中身は質実剛健の濃い内容になっています。大人も学習…いや大人こそ学習しないといけない、子供に手本を示さなければ。親子で学習しながら自然にふれあい厳しさ愛しさ儚さを感じられる施設です。 施設の真ん中に滑り台がありますが大人にとっても中々のスリルと驚嘆を味わえるものです。 ここは無料であっても価値のある時間を過ごせる場所です。

(Translated by Google) It is an easy-to-use place that is perfect for families with children, and has plenty of facilities, including play equipment, woodcraft making, and hands-on learning. (Original) 遊具や木工品の制作、体験学習などがあり、設備も豊富で、子連れには最適な利用しやすい場所です。

(Translated by Google) From Matsukawa Onsen, go straight on Jukai Road without turning and go up a narrow mountain road to the bridge, but the bridge was closed to traffic and there was an entrance to the mountain trail next to the bridge. The view from the bridge might be the best if the weather is nice. (Original) 松川温泉から樹海ロードを曲がらず直進で、橋迄は細い山道を上りますが、橋は通行止めで橋の脇に登山道入り口がありました。橋からの眺めは天気が良ければ最高かも？

(Translated by Google) If this had been completed, it would have been possible for this road to connect to Shizukuishi, and perhaps even take you all the way to Amihari Onsen. I don't understand why they didn't build this one when they also built a road to Hachimantai... The reason is that it's a habitat for the Korean silver butterfly. (Original) ここが完成していれば網張温泉まで行けたかもしれない雫石とつながる可能性があった道。 八幡平にも道を通したのにここを作らなかった意味が分からない。。。 理由はチョウセンアカシジミの生息域だから。

(Translated by Google) When I tried to input this location into my rental car from Morioka Station, I couldn't find it. First, we headed for Matsukawa Onsen. It was around 9 a.m. on a weekday morning, and there weren't many cars yet. Luckily, under the blue sky, I looked around at the brocade and found everyone wordlessly taking videos and photos. After this bridge was completed, the construction of the road ahead was canceled, so now it is only used for walking, but since there is such a splendid bridge, you can think of it as a bridge dedicated to autumn leaves. Dew. In that sense, it's a luxurious place. If that's the case, I thought why not have the cedar trees taken care of so that we can get a better panoramic view, or how about we improve the road ahead (though I think it's a big help). It's a great place to stop and take a moment to enjoy the skyline that you'd otherwise drive past. (Original) 盛岡駅からこの場所をレンタカーに入力しようとしても見つからない。まずは松川温泉を目指した。平日の朝9時ごろ、まだ車は少なく、ラッキーにも青空の下、一面の錦繍を見渡すとみな言葉もなく動画や写真を撮っていた。 この橋は完成した後にこの先の道路が工事中止になったので今では歩いて通るのみに利用されているのにこんな立派な橋があるという事から、まあ紅葉専用の橋と考えても良いだろう。そういう意味では贅沢な場所だ。だったらもうちょいパノラマが見渡せるように杉を手入れしてもらうとか、この先の道を整備したらどうだろうと思った｛大きなお世話だとは思うが）。 とにかくドライブして駆け抜けてしまうスカイラインのなかでじっくり立ち止まるのにおすすめだ

(Translated by Google) Cars are blocked before the bridge. There is a parking lot for about 6 cars in front of the bridge. There are about 3 parking spots along the way. If you have a large vehicle (such as a camper), it is best to park it at a parking lot along the way. It is difficult for large cars to make a U-turn before the bridge. It gets crowded around the time of autumn leaves. (Original) 車は橋の手前で通行止めです。橋の手前は6台ぐらいの駐車場あり。道中にパーキングが3箇所ぐらいあります。大きな車は(キャンピングカーなど)道中のパーキングに停めた方がいいです。橋の手前は大きな車はUターンがきついですから。紅葉じきは混みます。

(Translated by Google) The autumn leaves are very beautiful this time of year. Each side of the bridge has a different view, which is really nice. (Original) 今の時期、紅葉がとてもきれいです。 橋の両側、それぞれ違う景色で、ほんとに素敵です。

Amazing old abandoned mining city

(Translated by Google) [Matsuo Mine Ruins] The ruins of a mine that once boasted the highest sulfur production in the East An outcrop of the Matsuo Mine was discovered around 1882, and a trial mining report was issued in 1888, and although mining rights changed hands, open-pit mining and tanuki mining (a method of mining by tracing ore deposits from the surface to the bedrock) were carried out. With the establishment of Matsuo Mining Co., Ltd. in 1914, sulfur mining and smelting began in earnest, and iron sulfide ore mining began in 1921, and by the end of the Taisho period when mechanical mining began, the company was producing about half of domestic demand. It grew into a large sulfur mine. Production increased rapidly in the 1930s, and the mine grew to the point where it was called ``the largest sulfur mine in the East,'' accounting for approximately 80% of domestic demand. The number of employees also increased, from 352 in 1916 to 2,213 in 1936, 20 years later. At its peak, the mine produced approximately 100,000 tons of refined sulfur and 680,000 tons of iron sulfide ore, but was abandoned in 1972 due to the sulfur recovered from oil refining. As the Matsuo Mine flourished, a new town was built around Yashikidai and the mining site, Motoyama (Midorigaoka, Hachimantai City), located approximately 1,000 meters above sea level. In order to secure workers, there was an urgent need to improve welfare facilities for families, and even before public housing became common, reinforced concrete housing complexes with flush toilets and central heating, elementary and junior high schools, hospitals, and movie theaters were built. Although it was deep in the mountains, it was a modern city equipped with the most advanced facilities in Japan at the time, such as a hall that invited active entertainers to hold performances, and was nicknamed ``Paradise Above the Clouds.'' . On January 1, 1961, an accident occurred at Matsuo Mining Elementary School where a student was on his way to a movie night when he fell over playing shogi, leaving 10 people dead and 21 seriously injured. After the mine was closed, the wooden building was incinerated for the purpose of testing the spread of fire, leaving only the reinforced concrete building. The Matsuo mine also has the negative side of ``mine poisoning incidents,'' and even now, poisonous water continues to flow out and is being treated at a neutralization treatment facility. The ruins of a huge apartment building still remain. It is an extremely valuable ruin, and I hope it will somehow be utilized as a tourist resource. Recommended level: ★★★★☆ 2018.06.24 (Original) [松尾鉱山跡] かつて東洋一の硫黄産出量を誇った鉱山跡 松尾鉱山は1882年ごろ露頭が発見され、試掘届が1888年に出されて鉱業権が転々としながらも露天掘りやタヌキ掘り(地表から基盤へ鉱床をたどりながら採掘する方法)が行われていた。 1914年松尾鉱業(株)設立とともに硫黄の採掘と精錬を本格的に始め、1921年からは硫化鉄鉱の採掘も開始、器械掘りを始めた大正末ごろには国内需要の約半分を生産する一大硫黄鉱山に成長した。 1930年代には生産量が急増し、国内需要の約8割を占める「東洋一の硫黄鉱山」と呼ばれるまでに成長。 従業員も増え、1916年の352人から20年後の1936年には2213人になった。 最盛期には精錬硫黄約10万トン、硫化鉄鉱68万トンを生産したが、その後石油精製時にできる回収硫黄に押され1972年に廃山となった。 松尾鉱山の隆盛にあわせ、屋敷台と標高約1000メートルの採掘地・元山(八幡平市緑が丘)には新たに街がつくられた。 労働者の確保を図るために家族も含めた福利厚生施設の充実が急務とされ、公団住宅が一般化する前から水洗トイレ・セントラルヒーティング完備の鉄筋コンクリートによる集合住宅や小・中学校、病院、映画館、活躍している芸能人を招いて公演を催す会館など、山奥にもかかわらず当時の日本における最先端の施設を備えた近代的な都市が形成されたため、「雲上の楽園」と呼ばれた。 1961年1月1日、松尾鉱山小学校で映画鑑賞会会場へ移動中の児童が将棋倒しになり、死者10人、重軽傷者21人を出す事故も起きた。 閉山後に木造の建物は延焼実験目的で焼却され、鉄筋コンクリートの建物だけが残された。 松尾鉱山には「鉱毒事件」という負の一面もあり、現在でも鉱毒水の流出は続き中和処理施設で処理が続けられている。 今も巨大なアパート跡が残る。 非常に貴重な廃墟であり、なんとか観光資源として活用してほしい。 おすすめ度:★★★★☆ 2018.06.24

(Translated by Google) I think it's comparable to Gunkanjima. It's much easier to get there than by boat. I was there by car, too. I don't want it to become a tourist spot, but I want people to know its value as a heritage site. (Original) 軍艦島に匹敵すると思います。 船で行くよりずっと簡単に行けますよね 私以外にも車が来てました 観光地にして欲しい訳では無いのですが、遺産としての価値を知って欲しいと思いました

(Translated by Google) The location in the photo is, to be precise, the former Matsuo Mine dormitory site. You can get there by searching for "Gakushuin Matsuo Campus" on Google Maps. Entry to the building is prohibited. You cannot enter the Matsuo Mine site. (Original) 写真の場所は正確には「旧松尾鉱山宿舎跡」です。Google mapsで「学習院 松尾校舎」で調べると行けます。 建物は立ち入り禁止です。 松尾鉱山跡は行くことが出来ません。

(Translated by Google) Matsuo Mine (now an abandoned mine) is located halfway up Mt. Hachimantai, at an altitude of approximately 1,000m. Sulfur mining began in earnest during the Meiji era, and at one time boasted the largest production volume in the Orient. It closed completely in 1972. At its peak, 13,600 people apparently worked there. The wastewater flowing out of the abandoned mine is mineral-poisonous, highly acidic and contains arsenic, so Japan's largest wastewater neutralization facility is in operation. Iwate Prefecture spends 500 million yen per year on treatment, but it seems this must continue indefinitely. When you actually visit, the atmosphere is similar to Gunkanjima. The landscape is somehow sad and lonely, and it leaves you feeling mysterious. Near the abandoned housing complex is a red pond. I believe the highly acidic water mentioned above flowed into it (I didn't feel like taking a photo of the red pond). (Original) 松尾鉱山(現在は鉱山跡) は八幡平の中腹 標高1,000m 付近にある。 明治時代から硫黄の採掘が本格的に始まり、一時は東洋一の産出量を誇ったという。昭和47年に完全に閉山した。 最盛期には13,600人が ここで働いたそうです。 廃坑から流出する排水は鉱毒水で、ヒ素を含む強酸性であるため、日本最大の排水中和施設を稼働させている。岩手県が 年間5億円処理費用をかけているが、半永久的に続けなければいけないらしい。 実際に来てみると 軍艦島に雰囲気が似ている。何か物悲しい 寂しい風景で、不思議な気分になります。団地の廃墟の近くには 赤い池があります。上記の強酸性が流入したと思います(赤い池は写真撮る気が起きなかった)。

(Translated by Google) It's truly fantastical. At the time it was known as a paradise above the clouds and was prosperous, but now it has fallen into decay and is shrouded in transience. (Original) とても幻想的です。 当時は雲上の楽園とも呼ばれ繁栄してたのが今は朽ち果て、儚さを纏います。

(Translated by Google) (2024/06/06) I stopped by on my way back from seeing the Dragon Eye at the top of Hachimantai. I think it's a place where you can park your car with plenty of space and plenty of space. The sunny conditions, which are rare for me, were a big factor, but I was also able to enjoy a more majestic view than I expected, as I could see the entire Iwate Prefecture side. Next time, I would like to visit during the autumn leaves season. (Original) （2024/06/06） 八幡平頂上のドラゴンアイをみた帰りに立ち寄りました。駐車スペースがそこそこ広く割と余裕をもって停める事が出来る場所だと思います。 私にしては稀な快晴のコンディションだったのも大きいですが、岩手県側を一望できるので思っていた以上に雄大な景色を堪能できました。次は紅葉の時期にも訪れてみようかと思います。

(Translated by Google) In October 2024, I stopped by Hachimantai to see the autumn leaves! There is a parking space on the Hachimantai Aspite Line roadside! There are no restrooms, benches, or vending machines! You can overlook the Kitakami Mountains from Mt. Iwate and the Kitakami Basin! (Original) 2024年10月、八幡平へ紅葉狩りで立ち寄りました！ 八幡平アスピーテライン路肩に駐車スペースがあります！トイレやベンチ、自販機はありません！ 岩手山、北上盆地から北上山地を見渡せます！

(Translated by Google) If you run along the Hachimantai Aspite Line, you will get there. There are walls of snow on both sides, so it's not scary, but when the snow walls break off and you can see the bottom, it gives you a sense of déjà vu, just like the one in Center of the Earth from TDS, and it makes you freeze. But if you have a chance to see, or even be seen, it's a place you can go to every week. (Original) 八幡平アスピーテラインを走る、走るとたどり着きます。雪の壁が両サイドにあるので、怖くはないのですが、雪壁が途切れて下が見えるところは、まるでTDSのセンターオブジアースのあの急に下がみえる感じみたいな既視感になり、足がすくみます。しかし、一見の、いや見られるチャンスがあるのなら、毎週行ってもよい場所です。

(Translated by Google) A place with a good outlook You can see Mount Iwate here And the sea of ​​trees nearby is also spectacular On the way from Lake Towada to Morioka in the summer evening We had a great road trip (Original) 展望良好的地方 你可以在這裡看看岩手山 而且附近的樹海也很壯觀 在夏季傍晚從十和田湖往盛岡的路上 我們享受了愉快的公路之旅

(Translated by Google) May 14th It is located on the way to Hachimantai. It was strange and impressive that there was so much snow left and that I was able to ride my bike through the snow. As the altitude increases, the sky becomes more and more blue. (Original) 5月14日 八幡平に向かう道中にあります。 雪がかなり残っていることと、バイクで雪の脇を通ることができている感じが不思議で、印象的でした。標高が上がりどんどん空が青くなっていきます。

(Translated by Google) I visited him on a solo tour in August. You can see the beautiful ridgeline of Mt. Iwate. I think this Hachimantai area is also one of the spots where you can experience the grandeur of Tohoku. I think the contrast between the azure blue, pure white clouds, and deep, vivid green brings out the beauty of Mt. Iwate. Due to the location, gas is easily released, so you may not be able to take satisfactory images every time, but I think this observatory will be a relatively stable photo spot. (Original) 8月にソロツーリングで伺いました。 岩手山の美しい稜線が一望できます。この八幡平エリアも東北の雄大さを実感できるスポットの一つだと思います。 紺碧の青、真っ白な雲、深く鮮やかな緑のコントラストが岩手山の美しさを引き立てているように思います。 場所柄、ガスが出やすいので毎回満足のいく画像は撮れないかもしれませんが、こちらの展望台ならば、比較的に安定した撮影スポットになると思います。

(Translated by Google) This is a wooden rest area. There are benches so you can take a break. The wetlands and marshes are beautiful. (Original) 木造の休憩所です。ベンチがあるのでゆっくり休憩が出来ます。湿原と沼がきれいです。

(Translated by Google) Originally, I had planned to walk from the summit of Mt. Hachimantai to Gentaimori. Since I had time and was interested in seeing the autumn leaves in the wetland, I decided to stretch my legs. (Original) 本来なら八幡平山頂から源太森まで歩く予定でした。時間があった事と湿原の紅葉が気になったので足を伸ばしてみました。

(Translated by Google) It is a high-rise wetland with ponds scattered around. In early summer, the flowers of alpine plants bloom, and in autumn, the grass leaves turn red, turning the entire wetland orange. Chinguruma, which blooms white flowers in summer, also turns wine red in autumn. There is a wooden path through the wetland area, but if you are walking from Mt. Chausu, the path in front of Kuroyayachi is full of loose stones and is difficult to walk on. Moreover, near the wetlands, water seeps onto the roads, staining the hem of your pants. Even if it's sunny on this course, it's a good idea to wear pants beforehand. (Original) 池塘が散らばる高層湿原です。初夏は高山植物の花が咲き、秋には草紅葉で湿原全体がオレンジ色になります。夏に白い花を咲かせるチングルマも、ワインレッド色に紅葉しています。 湿原エリアは木道ですが、茶臼岳から歩いてきた場合、黒谷地手前は石がゴロゴロしていて歩きにくい道です。しかも湿原近くは道に水が染み出ていてズボンの裾が汚れます。このコースは晴れていても、あらかじめスパッツをしていた方が良いでしょう。

(Translated by Google) Kuroyachi Wetland is surrounded by forests. If you stand on the observation deck, you can see a marshland dotted with ponds. The ``Bear Spring'' gushes out along the wooden walkway, and the sounds of wild birds are refreshing. 🐻Let's take the bell with us.

(Translated by Google) On a fall foliage climbing trip from Shinshu to Tohoku Twice, on October 2, 2016 and October 15, 2018, I walked from the summit of Mt. Chausudake to Gentaimori to the summit of Mt. Hachimantai. Park your car at the parking lot at the Chausu-dake trailhead, where you can see Mt. Iwate up close, and head to the Chausu-dake summit. We had lunch at Kuroyachi Wetland, passed through the Genta Forest, a memorable place in Hachimantai where my father and mother walked to commemorate their golden wedding anniversary, and walked along a wooden path covered with grass maples 🍁 to the summit via Hachimanuma and Gama-numa. The autumn leaves of Kagaminuma were also spectacular, and from Hachimantai Rest House we took a bus back to the Chausu-dake trailhead parking lot. Hachimantai is a must-see during the fall foliage season, including the nearby Mt. Hakudake and Mt. Mitsuishi. My favorite inn, “Yuki no Kosha,” where I stay overnight while traveling in the car, is also nearby. (Original) 信州～東北への紅葉登山旅で 2016年10月2日と2018年10月15日の2度、茶臼岳山頂～源太森～八幡平山頂を歩きました。 岩手山を間近かに見える茶臼岳登山口の駐車場に車を停めて、先ずは茶臼岳山頂へ。黒谷地湿原でランチを取り、父と母が金婚式の記念に歩いた八幡平の思い出の地源太森を抜けて、草もみじ🍁の広がる木道を歩いて八幡沼･ガマ沼経由で山頂へ。鏡沼の紅葉も見事で八幡平レストハウスからはバスで茶臼岳登山口駐車場に戻りました。 紅葉の時期には近くの畚岳、三ツ石山を含めて必ず歩きたい八幡平です。 車中泊の旅をしながらも1泊させていただく大好きな宿「ゆきの小舎」も近くです

(Translated by Google) On Google Maps, there are two registered spots for Gentaimori: "Gentaimori (category: mountaintop)" and "Gentaimori (category: tourist attraction)", so the information is scattered. So, I will also post about this spot (tourist attraction). Also, a spot called "Gentaimori Observation Deck" has been registered nearby, but the location information is incorrect, and this spot or the spot "Gentaimori (category: mountaintop)" is in the correct location. Although there is no view from the summit of Mt. Hachimantai at an altitude of 1,613m, Genta-mori at an altitude of 1,595m is a viewing spot in Hachimantai along with Mt. Chausu and Mt. Hakudake. You can see Mt. Chausu nearby, and Mt. Akita Komagatake and Mt. Nyuto in the distance. A sea of ​​trees spreads out below, and you can see Yahatanuma Crater Lake. Especially in autumn, the view of Hachimanuma Wetland with its grass turning red is beautiful. (Original) Googleマップ上での源太森のスポットが「源太森（カテゴリーは山頂）」と「源太森（カテゴリーは観光名所）」の二つが登録されてしまっているので、情報が分散しています。なので、こちらのスポット（観光名所）にも投稿しておきます。また近くに「源太森展望台」というスポットが登録されていますが、位置情報が間違っており、こちらのスポットあるいは「源太森（カテゴリーは山頂）」のスポットの方が正しい位置にあります。 標高1613mの八幡平山頂は展望がありませんが、標高1595mの源太森は茶臼岳、畚岳と並ぶ八幡平での展望地です。近くの茶臼岳、遠くに秋田駒ヶ岳・乳頭山を望むことができます。眼下には樹海が広がり、八幡沼火口湖が見えます。特に秋は草紅葉した八幡沼湿原が美しい眺めです。

(Translated by Google) This is a slightly elevated place a little further from the mountain trail. Unfortunately it was foggy so there was no view. Although it is June, butterbur sprouts are appearing and it feels like late spring. Many people were taking a break. It's perfect for a break. (Original) 登山道から少し入った所にある小高い場所になります。残念ながら霧がかかってしまい眺望がありませんでした。６月ですがふきのとうが出ていて遅い春を感じます。多くの方が休憩されていました。休憩に最適ですね。

(Translated by Google) It takes about 1 hour to get here from Kuroyachi Wetland. When the air is clear, you can see Mt. Gassan and Mt. Chokai. It was a shame that I couldn't see it because it was hazy this time! (Original) 黒谷地湿原からここまで大体1時間ぐらい 空気が澄んでると月山や鳥海山が見えるらしい 今回は霞がかってて拝めず、残念！

(Translated by Google) It would be a waste to just visit the Dragon Eye. This place is also wonderful. (Original) ドラゴンアイだけではもったいない。ここも素敵な場所です。

(Translated by Google) The lake is relatively large, but not as beautiful as Mirrornuma, and there is an observatory with a panoramic view. (Original) 湖泊比較大，但沒有鏡沼漂亮，有展望台一覽無遺。

(Translated by Google) As expected of a national park!Although it is old, the entire route of the promenade is maintained. A long time ago, I often saw an older woman climbing to the top in high heels. It's still not impossible. I don't recommend it. I went trekking today in hiking shoes, but it was actually difficult to walk. I think light mountain climbing shoes, trekking shoes, or sneakers are more comfortable. The wooden path can be slippery when wet, so be careful. (Original) さすが国立公園!古いとはいえ遊歩道は全ルート整備されています。昔、ハイヒールで頂上まで登って行くお姉さんをちょくちょくみました。今も不可能ではありません。お薦めしませんが。今日は登山靴でトレッキングしましたがかえって歩きづらかった。軽登山靴かトレッキングシューズ、なんならスニーカーの方が楽だとおもいます。木道は濡れてると滑るので気をつけましょう。

Delicious dishes, friendly staff, nice house sake, nice decoration and acceptable prices. Try if you are around.

We were recommended to this restaurant by APPI Ski Resort. The have wide selection of yakiniku and even set meals and Korean food. Prices are not too pricey and meat serving is just good. The large size draft beer is about 1 pint, good value for money! You will have to take off your shoes and sit on the platform. Each table has a table bell to call for assistance and service is friendly and prompt. It's a great place to dine and you could do grocery/souvenir shopping at Maxvalue which is just adjacent to the restaurant.

Casual yakiniku restaurant. The meat is high-quality, and the menu has good variety.

Really bad experience in here

(Translated by Google) A store located on the premises of Max Value Homac in Nishine. Next door is Hosuke Ramen. The parking lot is spacious as mentioned above. I visited on a Saturday afternoon, and there were only a few customers. By the end of the meal, people were coming in one after another, so it might just be that the restaurant was open on the day I went. The store has tatami rooms, table seats and a counter. The counter has plenty of space for one person, so you can relax. There are various menus, but this time I ordered the katsudon (katsudon) for ¥1,000. Please wait a little while until it is provided. This place is run by a butcher shop, or rather a wholesaler, so I have high expectations. The bowl of katsudon is quite large and quite deep. And above all, the meat is thick and does not disappoint. Although it is quite thick, it has a nice texture and is easy to eat. The seasoning is not too sweet or salty, just as expected in a good way. Although it was quite large and I didn't have any left, I managed to finish it all. In addition to lunch, there are various Yakiniku menus, and this might be a little-known spot as a short drive from Morioka city. I'm sure I'll visit again. (Original) 西根のマックスバリュー・ホーマックの敷地内にある店舗。隣はラーメンの宝介。駐車場は上述のため広々。土曜日のお昼に伺いましたがお客さんは数名。食事終わり頃には次々と来店されていたので、行った日がたまたま空いていただけかも。店内は座敷にテーブル席とカウンター。カウンターは1人分のスペースが広々と取られていてゆったり出来ます。色々とメニューがありますが今回はカツ丼￥1,000をオーダー。提供までは少し待ちます。こちらはお肉屋さんというか卸屋さんが運営母体なので期待が高まります。カツ丼は器の大きさもなかなかで、深さも結構あります。そして何より期待を裏切らず肉が厚い。結構な厚さですが歯ざわりもよく食べやすいです。味付けも甘すぎずしょっぱすぎずで良い意味で予想通りの味。かなりのボリュームで残しはしなかったものの何とか完食。ランチの他に焼き肉のメニューも色々とあり、これは盛岡市内からのちょっとしたドライブポイントとして穴場かも。再訪確定です。

(Translated by Google) When I went there for lunch before noon on a weekday, it was still empty. Today, I received [hormone hotpot set meal] 950 yen [fried chicken set meal] 850 yen. The hormone hotpot set meal is served on a stovetop for each person and is very filling. The rice goes well with the strong miso flavor, and the white rice is delicious. In these days when cabbage is expensive, I have a pot full of cabbage, and I'm thankful for cabbage as a pickle (lol) When I ate the orange I received at the end, it left my mouth feeling refreshed and I was happy with the service. The fried chicken set meal comes with a sauce similar to fried chicken, and is also very filling. It was delicious♪ Thank you for the meal.
