I thought Hokkaido was beautiful enough, until I visited Aomori, Japan at 22°C

Aomori, Japan's ultra-niche travel destination unknown to 90% of people! It's the filming location for the movie "Little Forest"🌿 With super high green coverage in summer, it's perfect for escaping the heat! Hiking for fresh air, boating with scenic views, sightseeing trains... It's the pinnacle of summer travel in Japan!

🔥 Today, I'll share how to enjoy this summer retreat!
🍃 Oirase Stream
Known as "Japan's most beautiful stream" and "Japan's most beautiful walking trail," it features various waterfalls along the way. Hiking through this primeval forest is simply perfect!
🏔️ Shirakami-Sanchi
Don't miss the famous Blue Pond (Little Jiuzhaigou)! Due to the crystal-clear water and light reflection, the pond appears as a stunning blue lake to the naked eye.
💦 Lake Towada
Fewer crowds and breathtaking scenery. Stroll through the lakeside forests or leisurely paddle a kayak—you might just have the entire lakeside to yourself!
🎨 Aomori Museum of Art
The museum houses over 170 works by Yoshitomo Nara. Art and culture lovers shouldn't miss this!
🍀 Nebuta House
Experience the unique cultural folklore, learn about the history of the Nebuta Festival, and admire past Nebuta floats.
