Heating Although an air-conditioner may not be necessary in the summer, a heater is a must-have for the winter in Iwate. Many households use heaters from October to April, and sometimes even longer. You may choose from kerosene, gas or electric heaters, but most people choose kerosene as it is heat-efficient and cheap. Kerosene is available from a variety of outlets, including gas stations, fuel stores and cooperatives, and most places offer a delivery service.
