Nishiwaga

Among the towns of Iwate Prefecture, Nishiwaga stands out for its deep-snow mountain setting along the Waga River. Set in the Ōu Mountains near the Akita Prefecture border, it is a rural community shaped by long winters and forested slopes. Yuda Dam holds back the river to form Lake Kinshū, a major feature of the valley. The Kitakami Line runs through Nishiwaga between Kitakami in Iwate and Yokote in Akita, while Yuda Onsen reflects the region’s established hot-spring culture.
