Burning lava flow

A lava flow spread over 1.5km wide and about 4km long at an elevation of about 1200m on the northeastern slope of Mount Iwate. A lava flow observation path is maintained around the area and can be seen up close. The craggy black rock is a cold and solidified magma that flowed out in the eruption of the Edo period. It speaks to the intensity of the eruption. It is well preserved and is also valuable academically, such as the record of the eruption time at that time remains. It is designated as a special natural monument of the country, so take out lava is prohibited, so let's be careful.

In addition to the freshly baked bread "Iwateyama Bakery", "Tannohata Milk Soft" from "Tōhoku Mami Mondokoro" is also recommended.
