Coisas para fazer em Aomori

Nós reservamos 3 passeios de um dia em Aomori: P1 - Oirase Gorge & Monte Hakkoda; P2 - Santuário Takayama Inari; P3 - Costa Tanesashi. O PLANO 1 - Rota do Oirase Gorge, Monte Hakkoda e Lago Towada é um excelente passeio de um dia, na minha opinião. Embora o topo do Monte Hakkoda estivesse fechado devido a ventos fortes e tenhamos conseguido parar apenas por 5 a 10 minutos, o cume estava enevoado e sem visibilidade... As condições meteorológicas não colaboraram! O Oirase Gorge e o Lago Towada são lindíssimos, recomendo muito este passeio de um dia. Nós saímos no Lago Towada e fomos nos hospedar por uma noite no Towada Prince Hotel, às margens do lago. No dia seguinte, caminhamos ao longo da margem do lago de volta a Towada para pegar o ônibus da JR de volta a Aomori, o que custou 3480 ienes. Sinto que este passeio de um dia teve um custo-benefício altíssimo.

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.

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.
