Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Aomori

Nag-book kami ng 3 day tour sa Aomori: P1-Oirase Stream & Hakkoda Mountain; P2-Takayama Inari Shrine; P3-Tanesashi Coast. Ang PLAN1-Oirase Stream & Hakkoda Mountain & Lake Towada route ay sa tingin ko ay isang napakagandang day tour. Bagama't malakas ang hangin sa tuktok ng Hakkoda Mountain at sarado ito, kaya't 5 hanggang 10 minuto lang kami nakapagtagal, at maulap sa tuktok kaya walang makitang tanawin... Hindi maganda ang panahon! Napakaganda ng Oirase Stream at Lake Towada, lubos kong inirerekomenda ang day tour na ito. Sa Lake Towada na kami umalis para mag-stay ng isang gabi sa Prince Hotel sa tabi ng lawa. Kinabukasan, naglakad kami pabalik sa Lake Towada sa tabi ng lawa para sumakay ng JR bus pabalik sa Aomori, na nagkakahalaga ng ¥3480. Pakiramdam ko, napakataas ng value for money ng day tour na ito.

Magandang biyahe, naging maayos ang lahat, huminto kami sa maraming tanawin at nakapaglakad-lakad din sa tabi ng Oirase stream, pati na rin sa itaas ng Hakkoda. Napakaalisto ng dray ड्राइवर. Kasama ako sa maliit na grupo ng 4 na tao. Huminto kami sandali sa iba pang mga tanawin at sa museum ng snow walk disaster sa pag-uwi. Ang steaming buns na "butt onsen" ay isang magandang sorpresa.

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.
