ITINERARY
Day 13 – Explore Morioka
The Iwate Snow Festival is an annual winter festival held in early February at Koiwai Farm, at the base of Mt Iwate in Morioka. During the
celebration, large and small snow sculptures are set up, horse sleigh rides and sledding facilities are available, and food and drink kiosks and
shops are open throughout the city. It also features kamakura, which are igloo-like snow structures, where visitors can get a taste of the local
cuisine accompanied by sake. Onsen are also popular at this time of the year, and staying at least one night is recommended so you can enjoy
the fireworks displays and illuminations that are usually part of the evening festivities.

To return to Tokyo to catch your flight back home, take a Shinkansen from Morioka Station to Tokyo Station. Use your JR Pass to get a seat
reservation on the next Narita Express headed to Narita Airport at a JR Ticket Office at Tokyo Station. The entire trip takes about three and a
half to four hours.
