More enjoyable trip to Hachimantai and Appi, Iwate Prefecture, Japan

Recommended Travel Plans

In Hachimantai City, Iwate Prefecture, there is a landscape that represents the original scenery of Japan. I will introduce a 2-night, 3-day plan with abundant nature.

Spring (March to May)

During Golden Week (late April to early May), the cherry blossoms in Hachimantai will be just in full bloom. At the same time, visitors can enjoy the magnificent "Snow Corridor" at the foot of the mountain, so that they can fully appreciate the beautiful contrast between spring and winter.

Summer (June to August)

Early June is the most beautiful season to view the mysterious natural phenomenon "Hachimantai Dragon Eye" that appears near the summit of Hachimantai Mountain. After enjoying this spectacular view, why not explore the landscape of the national park with its vivid fresh greenery and feel the breath of nature?

Autumn (September to November)

The autumn foliage season in Tohoku begins with the breathtaking beauty of Hachimantai, where in September Mitsuishiyama (Mt. Mitsuishi) attracts visitors with its vivid red carpet of autumn leaves. In October, the peaks of Hachimantai turn golden, creating a spectacular golden carpet. The spectacular sight will wash your heart and soul.
