Koiwai Farm 100 Years of Forest There are tours that allow you to enter places that you would not normally be able to enter. In front of the wasteland at the southern foot of Mt. of Iwate, Koiwai Farm is said to have been filled with regret for destroying many "beautiful rice fields and good fields" during his many years of involvement in the railway construction project. If this kind of wilderness is left untouched, I would like to at least make up for the loss of beautiful countryside by clearing it and opening up large farms. Isn't that what I should do for the public good? Inoue thinks so. Inoue confided in Yoshima Ono, who had supported Mitsubishi under Yataro Iwasaki, and asked for his help. At that time, Mitsubishi's younger brother, Yanosuke Iwasaki, was the second president of Mitsubishi after Yataro's death. Yoshima Ono immediately brings Inoue and Yanosuke together. It is said that Yanosuke was impressed by Inoue's lofty desire to open a farm in the wasteland for the national public, and readily agreed to invest on the spot. Thus, on January 1, 1891 (Meiji 24)), Inoue became the owner of the farm and Koiwai Farm was opened. The name Koiwai was created by taking one letter each from the surnames of Ono, Iwasaki, and Inoue. That's it. There is a 100-year-old forest in it. This forest is there to grow 99-year-old cedars.

Chusonji Temple, one of the most popular temples in Tohoku It is a temple of the Tendai sect Tohoku Daihonzan located in Hiraizumi Town, Nishiiwai District, Iwate Prefecture. In 2011, it was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site. Chusonji Temple is famous for its gorgeous golden hall, but there are many other attractions such as Benkei-do, Yakushi-do, and Hondo.   By the way, the photo is "Benzaitendo" in the precincts of Chusonji Temple. It is said that it was donated in 1705 by Senhime of the Sendai feudal lord Date Tsunamura. This is a famous photo spot that is crowded with photographers.

With Mt. Iwate, known as "Nanbu Katafuji," in the background, Koiwai Farm's single cherry blossoms stand in a vast meadow. It is an imposing cherry tree with a height of about 20 meters and is said to be more than 100 years old. The sight of a single cherry blossom blooming dignified against the background of the majestic Mt. Iwate where snow remains is said to be a symbol of spring in Shizukuishi Town. The contrast between the colorful cherry blossoms and the lush meadows was enough to see the unique scenery of the farm.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce a post by "Saori Yamakawa". The vast rape blossoms and mountain ridges are impressive photos. Koiwai Farm is a private farm located in Shizukuishi, Iwate District, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The approximately 40-hectare tourist area, which is open as a makiba garden, is full of various leisure spots. There is also a wealth of nature where you can enjoy the four seasons, and the superb view of rape blossoms blooming along the prefectural road from around Koiwai Station and the rows of cherry blossom trees blooming in the park are also a must-see. You can easily interact with animals such as horseback riding, Toro carriages, and treats for ponies. Sheep grazing and sheep snack time are also highlights. In the Makiba Hall, you can also experience a workshop where you can make key chains and photo frames using wool and wood from Koiwai Farm. How about a one-of-a-kind souvenir in the world? Various events are held throughout the four seasons. The "Early Spring Makiba Festa" held in spring is full of projects unique to this season, such as special tours by tractor and walks in the forest. The park's restaurant also offers a spring-only menu. The illuminations held in winter are said to be the largest in Tohoku and are popular every year. You can enjoy it at the restaurants and cafes in Koiwai Farm, and gourmet foods such as Genghis Khan and sweets are also popular. You can also enjoy dishes using farm-grown ingredients at FARM DINING & CAFE Koiwai Farm Tokyo in Tokyo, a restaurant directly managed by Koiwai Farm in Tokyo. Japanese black beef is a popular gem. It is easily accessible from Tokyo Station and is recommended for lunch, dinner, and banquets. ◆Koiwai Farm◆ 【Address】〒020-0507 Iwate Prefecture, Iwate District, Shizukuishi-cho Marutanichi 36-1 【Access】 By car: Tohoku Expressway Morioka IC about 15 minutes / 12 km About 30~40 minutes by taxi from JR Morioka Station

Iwate Prefecture Gose Dam cherry blossom trees I went out to photograph the cherry blossoms of Koiwai Farm with Mt. Iwate in the background, but unfortunately the cherry blossoms had just blossomed, and Mt. Iwate did not appear due to the temperature difference between the mountains and the sky. I stopped by because the row of cherry blossom trees at Gosho Dam that I passed by was splendid. It was impressive that the cherry blossom grove seemed to shine in the sunlight shining through the clouds.
