Shizukuishi

The terrain of Shizukuishi ranges from a broad river plain in its east to forested volcanic slopes of the Ōu Mountains in the west, giving the town a distinctly basin-and-mountain character. The Shizukuishi River runs through this part of Iwate Prefecture, west of Morioka, while Mount Iwate is a dominant presence to the northeast. Koiwai Farm, founded in 1891, is among Japan’s best-known dairy farms and has long linked the area with pastoral agriculture. Hot-spring resorts and winter-sports areas occupy the surrounding foothills. Explore additional webcams nearby to understand how Shizukuishi connects with the wider Iwate landscape.
