Must-visit travel destinations around the world: Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture

📍Location: Morioka, Iwate 🇯🇵 I went on a trip to Morioka, Iwate in Tohoku. In 2023, the world-famous newspaper The New York Times ranked Morioka second among many countries and regions around the world as a "world travel destination to visit this year". When I actually went sightseeing, it was not crowded at all compared to Kyoto or Tokyo, and it was very easy to visit. In addition, Japanese urban buildings, Western architecture, and castle ruins are still alive and well, so you can enjoy shopping while enjoying the culture. There is an observation deck on the top floor of a high-rise building behind the station that is open for free, and the cityscape of Morioka City as seen from there was very urban and beautiful. You can enjoy traditional Iwate and Morioka cuisine at restaurants and izakayas in Morioka. The white fish sashimi made with fish delivered directly from Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture is very delicious. There is also a restaurant called "Bell", the birthplace of the famous Bikkuri Donkey. There is also a Shinkansen and Iwate Hanamaki Airport is about 45 minutes away by car, so it is very accessible✨ It's a very fun city, so why not take this opportunity to visit Morioka city✨ #MoriokaTourism #DomesticTravel #IwatePrefecture
