Hanamaki

Hanamaki sits on the Kitakami River plain in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, where broad agricultural lowlands meet the foothills of the Ōu Mountains. This inland city is closely associated with writer and poet Kenji Miyazawa, born here in 1896; the Kenji Miyazawa Memorial Museum introduces his life and imaginative work. Hot-spring inns are part of the wider Hanamaki area, especially toward its mountain side, while rice fields and river corridors define the lower ground. Shin-Hanamaki Station on the Tōhoku Shinkansen places the city on a major route through northern Honshu.
