This morning's trip was supposed to go to the Hakkoda Mountain Cable Car, but unfortunately it was suspended! We went to Sumanoyu Onsen instead and saw the super beautiful snow scenery. It was so beautiful. In the afternoon, the driver drove us to the Oirase Stream. We had to be careful when walking on the muddy ground. It should be due to the season. It was not as expected as in the photo. Views, but not bad! The wind blowing here at Lake Towada is bitingly cold. After a short walk, you can see the statue and reach the shrine. The driving distance is 1-2 hours. It is highly recommended to follow the car trip.

Although the Hakkoda Mountain cable car was suspended due to strong winds, the driver worked very hard to take us to the Chod Oirase River to see the scenery despite the heavy rain that day. It was really satisfying, but it was a pity that the rain was so heavy that we got wet. It was semi-uncomfortable, but the driver drove very steadily. Lake Toda was also unable to fully enjoy it because of the heavy rain, but I was still very grateful.

I was very lucky to meet Mr. Yukio, a very polite and professional driver. Although he only spoke Japanese, I could communicate with him using translation software. He drove smoothly and comfortably on the snowy mountain road, and he was always concerned about whether everyone needed to use the bathroom. Thank you very much. The stop was just right, and the photo was taken very well by asking him to help. It was such a joy to encounter such beautiful scenery as red maples and white snow. Highly recommend this trip! Please do your own homework on the introduction of attractions. The driver will simply use translation software to explain, but usually the natural scenery is already amazing.

The tour was a convenient and comfortable way to visit some of the most famous spots in Aomori. As it was past the peak season of autumn leaves, there was ample time to explore Mt. Hakkoda and Oirase Gorge. I wish there was a bit more time at Lake Towada because after taking the 50 min cruise, there was barely enough time to have lunch and buy souvenirs.

Highly recommended! From Sendai Station, we arrived at the Hakkosan Cable Car, which unfortunately was not open due to strong winds. The guide took me to the Jokura Bridge to enjoy the scenery. Further to Oirase Stream, get off at Ishito Rest, walk for about 1 hour, passing through several streams, then get back on the bus to Lake Towada for lunch and return to Aomori after the excursion. The tour guide is responsible for driving, no special explanation, only speaks a little English, however during will introduce which places are beautiful. Although the price is rather expensive, it is very worth it to be able to take a small tour and go to three places at once!

The driver was responsible and courteous and made good arrangements. Although the Hakkoda Mountain Cable Car trip was canceled today due to strong winds, it is still highly recommended.

This is a carpool pick-up service (there is no tour guide, the driver speaks Japanese), mainly going to Hakkoda Mountain, certain scenic spots in Oirase Stream (Sanran flow, Kumoi Falls, Choshi Falls), Lake Towada, You will be kept at these fixed points for a while. Suitable for travelers who have limited time and are unable to drive by themselves. Among them, the Hakkoda Mountain Cable Car has a long queue during the autumn leaves period. It is recommended that Klook evaluate whether to move the departure time earlier so that it will not be too rushed.
