Hakkoda Mountains rundturer

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.

We booked three day trips in Aomori: P1 - Oirase Stream & Hakkoda Mountains; P2 - Takayama Inari Shrine; P3 - Tanesashi Coast. PLAN1 - The Oirase Stream, Hakkoda Mountains, and Lake Towada route was an excellent day trip. Although the summit of Hakkoda Mountain was closed due to strong winds, and we could only stay for 5 to 10 minutes with no visibility due to heavy fog, the weather didn't cooperate! However, Oirase Stream and Lake Towada were incredibly beautiful, and I highly recommend this day trip. We left Lake Towada to stay overnight at the Prince Hotel by the lake, and the next day, we walked along the lakeside back to Lake Towada to catch the JR bus to Aomori, which cost ¥3,480. This day trip felt like it offered great value for money.
