Kawai
8.3
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Now absorbed into Miyako city, the Kawai district occupies the upper Heigawa valley deep in the mountains — if you want complete solitude and mountain river scenery, this delivers. Novelty factor is absolute. That's where the advantages end.
Mid score (6-8)
Kawai is a remote mountain district of Miyako with small population and no tourist infrastructure. The mountain scenery is genuine and uncrowded. Functionally you're here because you specifically want to be nowhere, or because you're passing through on a forestry or fishing errand.
Lower score (below 6)
A handful of households in a mountain river valley. No services, no social life, no reason a foreign man would be here unless specifically seeking extreme rural isolation. Even by Iwate's rural standards, this is remote.
