Nishiwaga Town in Iwate Prefecture is a state-designated special heavy snowfall area surrounded by the Ou Mountains on the border of Iwate and Akita prefectures. While our town has an average annual snowfall of over 10 meters in winter, its natural assets protected by that snow are its charm. The seasonal colors of spring, summer, autumn, and winter are beautiful, and you can enjoy hot springs flowing directly from the source in abundant hot spring areas such as Yumoto Onsen, Yukawa Onsen, and Sugo Onsen.
