In sleepy Iwamura there is a sign that self-proclaims itself to be the best rural landscape in all of Japan. It's a bold claim and one that I would personally disagree with, but nonetheless it exists. From the lookout you get a 360 view of farmland and ricefields. Something that you can see anywhere in Japan. Do not get your hopes up, just because it is apparently the best in Japan.

Yarigatake is one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. It is located in the Northern Alps and is one of the most instantly recognisable peaks in Japan. It is the 5th tallest mountain in Japan, and is just awesome. A two day with a thrilling scramble. Being 3000m above sea level, things just hit different.
