[2025 Towada Attraction] Travel Guide for Oirase-keiryū gorge (Updated Jun)

#2024Travel Review After enjoying the autumn leaves in the Oirase Stream, we chose to start from the popular rest stop #Ishinoto on the second day. We originally wanted to go upstream to #云EI Falls, but we didn’t expect that there were so many tourists and a bunch of tour buses were scary, so we hurriedly changed the direction. Go in the opposite direction towards the #Sanchao River. Although the path is more primitive, the scenery is better and the crowds are much less. The Oirase Stream is famous for its beautiful green mountains and rapid cloud waterfalls. It is 14 kilometers long from Mount Yakiyama to Konoguchi. It is recommended to walk in sections to avoid the crowds and enjoy the scenery of the stream to yourself. ✓Yakiyama-Ishinoto Starting from the Oirase Keikikan, it passes through Shimeike, Kise, Fudoiwa, and Sanrano Ryu to Ishinoto Rest House. The total length is about 5.6 kilometers and the journey takes about 2 hours. This section of the trail is more difficult to walk. Although it is more primitive, the red leaves bloom later, which makes it more beautiful. ✓Ishinoto-Kumei Waterfall Large tour buses can be parked at Ishinoto Rest House. Generally, tour groups start walking from here and walk all the way to Kumoi Falls. The total length is about 2.7 kilometers and the journey takes about 60 minutes. The road conditions are the best, but the crowds are also the largest. The scenic spots along the way include Mamen Rock, Ashura Falls, Showa Pond and Yunjing Falls. ✓Yunjing Waterfall-Chozi Waterfall This section is also a good experience. There are many waterfalls to see along the way, such as Yunjing Waterfall, Shuanglong Waterfall, Baibu Waterfall, Yanguan Waterfall, Yulian Waterfall, Baixi Waterfall, Jiudaan Waterfall, etc., as well as the most spectacular Choshi Falls. The waterfall is about 4 kilometers long and the journey takes about 95 minutes. #Japan Northeast Free Travel #Northeast Maple Viewing #Oirase Stream

#GINKGO #100 Ways to Travel In addition to red leaves in autumn in Northeast Japan, yellow leaves are also indispensable #gingko. During this free trip to Northeast Japan, I visited several scenic spots where ginkgos are in full bloom. I share them as follows: #Kakunodate is known as Oku's Little Kyoto, especially the street in the samurai house. The maple leaves and ginkgo trees bloom at the same time, dyeing the entire thatched house of the samurai house in a golden red. It is really beautiful! #Morioka Castle Ruins Morioka Castle, located close to the river and located high up, is full of cherry blossoms, maples, and ginkgo trees. With the remains of the city wall as the background, the golden ginkgo trees stand tall and straight, giving it a unique sense of history. # aomori Ginkgo is a street tree in Aomori. Ginkgo trees are planted on both sides of the main road extending to the harbor next to A-Factory, but the intervals are a bit wide. Each blooming ginkgo has a lonely beauty. #中野山 Although it is a well-known maple viewing spot, there are still huge ginkgo trees along the maple viewing platform. Especially at the maple viewing platform, there are whole yellow leaves, overwhelmingly dyeing the entire mountain forest yellow, which is quite healing. #OiraseStream The most popular natural attraction in Northeast Japan, the gurgling stream, the red and yellow colors of autumn, and the sunlight shining through the gaps between the maple leaves and ginkgo trees, are as beautiful as a painting. There are many kinds of trees in Oirase Stream, including red leaves, ginkgo, cedar and other color-changing deciduous trees. Once the seasons change, it is even more beautiful and it is extremely pleasant to walk along it. #日本 Northeast Free Travel #gingko #红叶 #100 ways to travel

Aomori is often thought of as not being a tourist season in April. Here is the charm of Aomori in April💁♀️ The first day was introduced in part 1, so please take a look! This time, the plan starts from Aomoriya in Misawa. 9:30 Aomoriya Motoyu After a morning stroll around Aomoriya, we headed to Motoyu, which is a little distance from the inn, and took a quick dip in the hot spring♨️ Aomori in April is still cold, so it was great to be able to warm up my body in the morning! 12:00 Oirase Roman Park On the way to Lake Towada, we stopped at a roadside station. There were so many cute apple decorations that I couldn't help but take pictures. There are many souvenirs, but I bought apple butter here🍎 I had it later and it was very delicious! 13:30 Oirase Stream to Lake Towada We went to Lake Towada passing through the Oirase Stream. There was only a little snow left in early April, so driving was no problem🚗 We got out of the car for a bit and enjoyed the river and waterfall. The water was so clear that I couldn't help but touch it, but it was cold😂 14:30 Hakkoda Snow Corridor We passed Lake Towada and headed towards Mt. Hakkoda. We headed for the snow corridor that will be open from 4/1! It was my first time driving a car surrounded by snow on both sides, so it was a little scary, but the road was wide so I was able to enjoy driving! 🚗 You can also get off along the way and enjoy the snow scenery❄️ 16:30 Hirosaki Castle We returned to the city and headed to Hirosaki Castle. The cherry blossoms hadn't bloomed yet, but we strolled around imagining the cherry blossoms in full bloom😂🌸 It seems that they were in full bloom the following week. It's a bit disappointing, but it was nice to have time to leisurely look at Mt. Iwaki with few people around! 19:00 Aomori Airport 2 days of sightseeing in Aomori is over. There are still many spots I haven't been to yet, so I'd like to introduce them to you when I visit Aomori again 💁♀️ I hope you all enjoy Aomori in April too! #DomesticTravelStrategy

#springwander Among the Oirase River flowing out of Lake Towada, it is a tourist attraction selected as a two-star tourist attraction by the Michelin Green Guide, which continues for about 14 km from the mouth of Lake Towada to Yakiyama. It is designated as a national special scenic spot and natural monument, and is dotted with many attractions such as waterfalls, clear streams, huge rocks, and steep cliffs. Driveways and promenades are maintained along the mountain stream. It's good to go around the view spots by car or bus, but it's also recommended to take a walk on the promenade where you can enjoy nature. You can enjoy the beautiful nature to the fullest, such as the green tunnels that envelop the road, the pouring sunlight, and the clear forest air. If you walk the entire journey, you can enjoy about 4 hours of trekking, so if your time and physical strength allow, by all means.

Three people staying at Oirase Green Hotel only cost HK$659.52 including breakfast, which is a surprising value for money! In the early morning, the dim light shines through the window. When I open the door, I see the picturesque blue sky and white clouds, and the cool breeze blows on my face. Although it is a pity that the trails are closed due to snow, it makes the road trip more poetic. Walking slowly along the stream, you can see the ice waterfall condensing into jade, surrounded by mist, and the dead branches wrapped in icing sugar sparkling with silver light. Occasionally I parked my car and stepped on the snow, the sound of water gurgling under the ice and the wind blowing through the treetops #Oirase Keiryu #Japan #Aomori

Aomori: Unlock the magic of Tohoku, Japan At the northernmost tip of Honshu, Japan, Aomori is like a hidden gem in the north, low-key yet charming, exuding a unique charm that attracts countless travelers to embark on a deep dialogue with nature and culture. In spring, Aomori awakens in the embrace of cherry blossoms. Hirosaki Park, a world-renowned cherry blossom viewing spot, becomes a pink dreamland.

A gentle breeze scatters the petals like rain, and people beneath the trees either spread picnic blankets to enjoy the leisurely springtime or stroll around, capturing the fleeting beauty with their cameras. In summer, Aomori transforms into a perfect summer retreat. Lake Towada, clear as a mirror, reflects the lush mountains and drifting white clouds.

Oirase Gorge, located around Lake Towada in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, is a 14-kilometer-long stream trail that winds through dense forests and babbling waters. It is hailed as one of the most beautiful streams in Japan. During this visit, I was completely immersed in the embrace of nature, feeling the tranquility and vitality of the stream. First Impressions of Oirase: Nature's Initial Impact That morning, I set out from the Hoshino Oirase Keiryu Hotel and walked into this natural sanctuary. As soon as I stepped onto the stream trail, I was greeted by the cool mountain breeze and the rich scent of the forest. The clear stream meandered along the trail, and the sound of the water played like a symphony in my ears, as if I had entered a paradise. On either side of the trail were dense woods, with tall trees whose branches and leaves intertwined to form a natural green tunnel. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground and the stream, creating a scene as beautiful as a painting. Highlights Along the Way: The Symphony of Streams and Waterfalls As I strolled along the trail, the most breathtaking sights were the various waterfalls of different sizes in the stream. Each waterfall had its own unique charm, with the most famous being the Choshi Otaki Waterfall. This waterfall, with its abundant water flow, cascaded from a height, creating a mist that brought a refreshing sensation. Standing before the waterfall, the powerful sound of the water filled my ears, making me feel the might of nature. Another favorite spot of mine was the Ashura no Nagare, a section of the stream where the water flowed rapidly, crashing against the rocks and creating layers of spray. Despite the turbulent water, the surrounding scenery was exceptionally serene, forming a perfect balance of motion and stillness. The Beauty of the Seasons: A Verdant Paradise in Summer I chose to visit Oirase Gorge in the summer, when the scenery was lush and vibrant, full of life. The moss-covered stones and tree trunks along the stream looked like they were blanketed with a soft carpet. Even in the height of summer, the temperature by the stream remained cool and pleasant, making it an ideal spot to escape the heat. I've heard that Oirase Gorge is even more magnificent in the fall, with the entire forest turning into warm hues of red, orange, and gold, creating a stunning contrast with the clear stream. Just imagining it is enough to make one yearn for it. 💞Recommended Reason: The Touching Harmony with Nature I spent an entire day at Oirase Gorge, measuring this natural canvas with my own feet. There was no city noise here, only the sound of flowing water and birdsong, with each step bringing a sense of peace and release to the soul. If you love nature and enjoy being surrounded by greenery, Oirase Gorge is a destination you cannot miss.
