Dive into the Lake! Nishimeya Amphibious Bus Adventure

Nishimeya Village in Aomori Prefecture is a naturally rich village known as the gateway to the Shirakami-Sanchi Mountains. Surrounded by beech forests registered as a World Heritage Site, its greatest draw is the opportunity to experience untouched nature. Beautiful scenery unfolds in every season, with fresh greenery in spring, clear streams and activities in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and snow-capped landscapes in winter, making it worth visiting year-round. Another unique tourist experience in Nishimeya Village is the amphibious bus! It operates on Lake Tsugaru Shirakami, which flows through the village. After enjoying a drive along the lakeside, the spectacular moment of the bus diving into the lake is thrilling for both adults and children. The view of the Shirakami Mountains from the lake is exceptional, offering a special view that cannot be enjoyed from a car window. In addition, the roadside station "Tsugaru Shirakami" offers a wide selection of gourmet food and souvenirs made with local ingredients, making it the perfect base for sightseeing. We also recommend sweets and soba noodles made with the bounty of the beech trees. The dam curry is particularly popular.
