Oirase Gorge is famous for its magnificent natural scenery and seasonal changes. This one-day tour allowed me to deeply appreciate the charm of nature. Walking along the stream, the sound of clear flowing water and the lush green forest complement each other, making you feel as if you are in a paradise. On the way, we passed the famous Choshi Waterfall and felt the shocking force of the waterfall rushing down, which was refreshing. Whether it is the moss by the stream, the ancient trees, or the staggered rock landscape, each one is like a beautiful painting. This trip not only allowed me to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, but also brought physical and mental healing. It is definitely worth a revisit.

There was no cable car service at Hakkoda Mountain due to strong winds, so after staying there for a while, the driver took us to Sukayu Hot Spring. After the Oirase Gorge the weather improved and we got off the car three times to admire the waterfall up close. Afterwards, we will have lunch and free time in Towada. The driver didn't understand English. When we changed to Suantang Onsen, he didn't introduce its features and only told the meeting time in Japanese. It would have been better if he could write down the time.

This winter, I had a great experience taking a tour to Oirase Gorge and Lake Towada! The snow-covered streams and lakes are picturesque, and the icefalls are even more spectacular and dreamy. The driver drove steadily, allowing us to enjoy the scenery along the way with peace of mind even on snowy roads. The journey was comfortable and smooth. The snow scenery along the way is intoxicating. Strolling in the silver world, you can feel the tranquility and magnificence of winter. The overall arrangement was well done, allowing us to have an unforgettable journey. It is highly recommended to travelers who love winter scenery!

The driver was a very kind Japanese brother and drove us to all points. Although it was a pity not to drive because of the unpredictable weather conditions, the alternative was to stop at two waterfalls, which were beautiful and worth it. 😊😊😊

The arranged driver and car were very good, and the simple tour guide was also very good. Unfortunately, the wind was too strong that day and the cable car was out of service, so we had to change to other itineraries, but it was still a great day

Oirase Stream is very beautiful to take pictures with. There are many small spots to take pictures. Remember to wear more clothes at Towada Lake. It is very windy and very cold near the lake.
