Mt. Iwate is the 3rd highest mountain in the Tohoku region and perhaps my favorite. Of course the close proximity to Morioka makes it the mountain that I climb most. My friend Micha from Germany asked to come with me, so we went up a couple months ago (and I finally made the video).
We took the Nanataki Trail up, and the Yakehashiri Trail down, made possible by 2 vehicles.
It was not the best choice for a first-time hiker, but he made it!
