A former castle town on the confluence of three rivers, the small, congenial city of MORIOKA has no outstanding sights, but the combination of an attractive setting, good range of accommodation and interesting local cuisine make it a good overnight stop on the journey through northern Honshū, and, with a couple of hours to spare, you could take a wander around the castle ruins and some of the older neighbourhoods, or take a bus out to the rather bizarre art museum. Additionally, Morioka is one of the main access points for hikes around the nearby Hachimantai plateau.
