Miyako: Miyako Country Club
Tucked along Iwate’s Sanriku coast, Miyako Country Club is a place whose character is shaped by pine woodland and the nearby Pacific Ocean. The course lies in the municipality of Miyako, a port city on the deeply indented Sanriku shoreline of northeastern Honshu. Its fairways run through established trees rather than an urban setting, reflecting the coast’s mix of forested slopes and small inlets. Miyako is closely associated with Jōdogahama, a celebrated stretch of pale rock formations and coves within Sanriku Fukkō National Park. The city’s identity has long been tied to fishing and its working harbour, while the club adds a quieter recreational landscape to this maritime corner of Iwate.

Among the cities of Iwate Prefecture, Miyako stands out for its deeply indented Pacific shoreline along the Sanriku Coast. The Hei River meets Miyako Bay here, where a working fishing port gives the city a distinctly maritime character. North of the centre, Jodogahama is known for pale rhyolite rock formations, pine-lined coves and coastal paths within Sanriku Fukko National Park. Fishing has long shaped Miyako’s food culture, with local seafood central to markets and restaurants. The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami profoundly affected the city, and reconstruction remains part of its recent story.

Iwate Prefecture has served as a regional heartland within Japan’s Tōhoku since the Meiji era. It occupies a broad stretch of northern Honshu where the Kitakami River crosses productive inland plains, the Kitakami Mountains rise to the east, and the Pacific shapes the indented Sanriku coast. Mount Iwate, a 2,038-metre stratovolcano, is the prefecture’s best-known peak. Inland Hiraizumi preserves the UNESCO-listed Chūson-ji temple complex, including Konjikidō, its gold-leaf-covered hall, recalling the prosperity of the medieval Northern Fujiwara. Morioka, the prefectural capital, is also known for wanko soba. Trace Iwate’s place in Tōhoku by browsing webcams across the surrounding prefectures.

Among the countries of East Asia, Japan stands out for its volcanic archipelago, stretching from the cool north of Hokkaido to subtropical Okinawa. Mount Fuji, the nation’s highest mountain, rises above central Honshu, while the Pacific Ocean and the Seto Inland Sea have long shaped settlement, fishing and travel. Tokyo pairs dense urban life with major museums and neighbourhood traditions; Kyoto preserves temples, gardens and the legacy of Japan’s imperial court. Seasonal customs give journeys a changing rhythm, from spring cherry blossom viewing to autumn leaves. Regional cooking is equally varied, with sushi, ramen and local specialties reflecting coastlines, climate and agriculture.
