BELLINO HOTEL ICHINOSEKI is a city hotel in Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture. This blog offers information about your stay as well as recommendations for sightseeing and hot springs around the Ichinoseki–Hiraizumi area.
This time, we’d like to introduce the “Kitakami River Basin Exchange E-Boat Tournament,” held in Kawasaki-cho, Ichinoseki.
The Kitakami River flows from central Iwate Prefecture southward, emptying into the sea at Ishinomaki City in eastern Miyagi Prefecture, and is a Class A river.
It is the largest river in the Tohoku region.
Every year, an intense boat race is held on this river that Iwate is proud of!
Stay in Ichinoseki and Cheer On the E-Boat Tournament!
This year, 2019, it will be held on Sunday, September 1.
Entry applications have already closed, but the tournament is open to participants from 5th grade elementary school and up.
We hope to see you at next year’s event!
