Iwate Explorer Tour
Premium Ski & Culture Tours
The Iwate Explorer Tour is the newest tour, and one to be excited for.
Unlike the road-style adventure that is the Northern Odyssey Tour, the Iwate Explorer Tour is one for those that are looking for adventure, but at a slower pace. Whilst exploring untouched Northern Honshu, there is more emphasis on experiencing Japan's rich culture on this tour.
Based in Morioka for 3 days, and out in Amihari Onsen for 3 more, this tour is more for those who are not wanting to stray too far from the resort, and immerse themselves in all that the Iwate region has to offer.
