A Must-Visit Gem in Tohoku, Japan ✨ The Oirase River along Lake Towada is definitely the biggest surprise I discovered this year 💫
🚶♀️【Recommended Hiking Route】 The 8.9km route from Ishido to Konokuchi is amazing, with over a dozen waterfalls and uniquely shaped rocks along the way. I recommend allowing 3 hours for hiking and taking photos (you can take a bus back if you get tired 🚌).
🌈【Must-Visit Spots】
✔ "Sanran no Nagare" (Three-Ran Stream): A spectacular rushing stream
✔ "Kujukushima" (Narrow Rock Islands): Dense rock formations
✔ "Choshi Great Falls": The most spectacular waterfall in the Lake Towada area
📌【Useful Information】
📍Address: Oirase River, Towada City, Aomori Prefecture
⏰Opening Hours: Open year-round
🎫Admission: Free! 🚌Transportation: Approximately 2 hours by bus from JR Aomori Station
💡【Tips】
✅Wearing non-slip hiking shoes is essential.
✅There are rest stops along the way, but it's recommended to bring your own snacks.
This beautiful paradise is a must-visit!
