Overview

Looking to discover the very best of Morioka and northern Iwate at your own pace? This private tour is perfect for you! With a government-licensed, English-speaking guide and a private vehicle with driver, explore the castle town's history, crafts and natural beauty in comfort.

Morioka sits where three rivers meet beneath Mt. Iwate, a relaxed city famed for handsome Meiji-era architecture, Nambu ironware and soba noodles. On this fully customisable 8-hour tour you choose the sights that interest you most, from the stone walls of Morioka Castle Ruins Park and the rock-splitting cherry tree Ishiwarizakura to the red-brick Bank of Iwate building and the Five Hundred Rakan of Hoonji Temple.

Visit grand Morioka Hachimangu Shrine, watch artisans at Morioka Handi-Works Square, or head out to historic Koiwai Farm. Your guide tailors the day to your interests - the easiest, most rewarding way to experience the warm spirit of northern Japan.
