Mount Iwate
Iwate · Volcano · Nature
Rising northwest of Morioka, also called Nambu-Fuji. A clean cone from the west, a ragged ridge from the east — the outline is entirely different.

Mount Kurikoma
Iwate / Miyagi / Akita border · Volcano · Nature
A mountain shared by three prefectures. Autumn colour from late September into October is intense, and you can watch it move down the slope.
When to watch
Mount Iwate is a free-standing peak, sometimes called the Fuji of the north, and its long skirt of foothills fits neatly into the frame. Watch for the snow patterns that emerge in early spring, and for colour coming down from the summit between late September and October.
Mount Kurikoma is known for autumn colour and straddles three prefectures — Iwate, Miyagi and Akita.
