Coses per fer a Aomori

Vam reservar 3 excursions d'un dia a Aomori: P1-Oirase Stream & Hakkoda Mountain; P2-Takayama Inari Shrine; P3-Tanesashi Coast. El PLA1-Oirase Stream & Hakkoda Mountain & Lake Towada va ser una excursió d'un dia que em va semblar fantàstica. Tot i que el cim de la muntanya Hakkoda estava tancat a causa del fort vent i només vam poder estar-hi entre 5 i 10 minuts, el cim estava boirós i no hi havia vistes... El temps no va acompanyar! L'Oirase Stream i el llac Towada són molt bonics, recomano molt aquesta excursió d'un dia. Des del llac Towada vam anar a l'Hotel Prince, a la vora del llac, per passar-hi una nit. L'endemà, vam caminar per la vora del llac de tornada al llac Towada per agafar l'autobús JR de tornada a Aomori, que va costar 3480 ¥. Vaig tenir la sensació que aquesta excursió d'un dia tenia una relació qualitat-preu molt alta.

Great trip, everything went smoothly, we stopped at a lots of view points and could also do sone walking along Oirase stream, and on top of Hakkoda. The driver was very attentive. I was in a small group of 4 people. We stopped shortly at some other viewpoints and the museum of snow walk disaster on the way back. The steaming buns “butt onsen” was a nice surprise.

L'itinerari va ser molt satisfactori, amb un ritme adequat i gens esgotador. El servei del conductor/guia va ser excel·lent, comunicant-se amb un traductor en temps real, coneixent bé les carreteres i conduint de manera suau, educada i professional. També va ajudar a fer fotos. Va ser un viatge molt agradable.

This was a perfect tour, good pace, interesting places, enough time to see them. These spots are difficult to access otherwise, so I am happy I could see all three in a day. The Takayama Inari shrine is beautiful and so remote, there was barely anyone there, lots of opportunities to take pictures. The blue pond is actually blue - at least when the sun is out. Very nice walk around the lakes. My group was of 6 people and we travelled in a private taxi with a driver.

The driver was excellent; they waited for us at our hiking destination, took us to the cruise, and then waited for us at the cruise's final pier. The entire trip was very relaxed, saving us a lot of time and effort compared to taking public transportation ourselves. The scenery along the way was also fantastic.
