Just a couple hours away north from the most liveable city of Tokyo, you will be able to find a completely different landscape - Tohoku area which still retains a reputation as a remote region offers breathtaking scenery and laid-back atmosphere. Especially Iwate, which is home to Hiraizumi inscribed on the World Heritage list in 2011 by UNESCO, is the must-visit place. Hiraizumi founded in the 12th century features the temples, gardens, and archaeological sites representing the Buddhist pure land. This "3 days 2 nights Welcome to Iwate - Onsen Package" allows you to visit the historic monuments and sites of Hiraizumi, and the Genbikei Gorge for its spectacular view, as well as spend one night at ryokan (Japanese-style Inn) in the Hanamaki Hot-springs, and more. Take advantage of this opportunity now and experience Iwate's unique history and culture with its abundant natural surroundings!
