Overview

The Hachimantai Aspite Line is a roughly 27km-long scenic drive that crosses the Hachimantai mountain range, spanning Iwate and Akita prefectures. Famous for its breathtaking views of untouched nature, the Akita side offers panoramic vistas from the 1,613m-high Mimikaetoge Pass. In spring, the melting snow reveals towering snow walls on either side of the road, creating the awe-inspiring "Snow Corridor." Visible until around Golden Week, this spectacle captivates visitors. Summer brings lush, verdant highlands, perfect for a refreshing drive. Autumn paints Hachimantai in a stunning array of reds and yellows, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of the fall foliage. The Hachimantai Aspite Line is a drive that offers ever-changing natural beauty and magnificent scenery throughout the year. With numerous onsen (hot springs) and rest areas along the way, it's also ideal for those seeking a relaxing journey. For example, Kogoke Onsen on the Akita side is famous for its sulfurous hot springs, perfect for unwinding and rejuvenating. The Hachimantai Aspite Line is a recommended drive for connecting with nature and refreshing your mind and body. Be sure to visit!
