2025 Tanohata Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Address: Kitayama, Tanohata, Shimohei District, Iwate 028-8402, Japan. Getting there: I would highly highly recommend you to rent a car for visiting the Kitayamazaki Coast due to the infrequent public transportation options that are available. Highlights: The Kitayamazaki coast is an eight kilometer long stretch of coastline in northern Iwate Prefecture. The best place to see the Kitayamazaki Coast is from the Kitayamazaki Observatory, a park at the northern end of the coastline where there are three observation decks from which to take in the breathtaking views.🥰 Another way to admire the Kitayamazaki Coast is from sightseeing boat cruises that depart from a small port near Shimanokoshi Station. You can also can spot various birds such as cormorants, eagles and ospreys nesting along the Unosu Cliff. 🤩 #gooutside #traveljapan #couplestrip

Sanriku National Park is located in Iwate City, Tohoku Region, Japan. The area was hit hard by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, but has proven resilient. The beaches are pristine, and are home to coastal seabirds, and the grasslands surround the large bay. Take in the sea air, see the coast, and hike around the park. Watch the locals live their lives or relax in the lush grasslands. #discoveryourownjapan #japantohoku #iwate

#Japanese and Korean urban attractions I explored along the coast and found a huge ocean rock that looked like a sleeping dragon. I couldn't help but be attracted by its magnificence and mystery, and feel the power and creativity of nature. In addition to the Dragon Stone, I also found many other stones with strange shapes, some like animals, some like human faces, and each one has a unique story. I felt like I was in a magical stone kingdom, and every step was a surprise. The Luzhong coastline is a dazzling place, where I felt the magic and beauty of nature. Whether exploring strange rocks or admiring the coastal scenery, this park always brings me endless surprises and adventures. 🏖️🪨🌊
