Insider tip — Miyata Onsen Hoyojo serves Ichinohe-machi, the northernmost town of Iwate Prefecture at the Aomori border where the Nanbu clan ruled for 600 years. Ichinohe is a traditional horse breeding centre — the Nanbu horse, bred on these highland pastures, was the finest cavalry animal in feudal Tohoku and the equestrian culture that shaped the Nanbu domain continues in the riding schools and livestock fairs that still mark the local calendar.
