🌲【Japan's Tohoku region: A hidden gem! A complete guide to Lake Towada's four seasons of spectacular scenery🌲🚤🍁】

📍#Towada Lake is a crater lake that spans Aomori and Akita. The lake is 327 meters deep and ranks third in Japan! It is beautiful in all four seasons: spring cherry blossoms adorn the fresh green, summer emerald lake, autumn maple dyes the lakeside red, and winter snow covers the fairyland. It is known as "the world's must-see scenery before death"! ### 🌟Must-see highlights 1️⃣Power spot ・Towada Shrine The thousand-year-old shrine hidden in the cedar forest, the towering cedar trees on both sides of the shrine create a quiet atmosphere, and the blue dragon spitting water of the hand-water house is uniquely designed and is known as the strongest energy point in the Northeast! Legend has it that the shrine enshrines the Nanzufang that repelled the lake monster, and praying for good luck is super effective⛩️. 2️⃣Lakeside landmark ・Otome statue The bronze double nude female statue created by sculptor Kotaro Takamura symbolizes the harmony between nature and humans. With the lake and mountains behind, it looks like a painting when surrounded by red maple in autumn! Don't forget to walk to the wooden boardwalk "Gozenhama" to take pictures of the beautiful reflections. 🍴Must-eat food list 🍎 Aomori Apple Pie: The apple pie at the famous lakeside store "Towadako Marineblue" is crispy, sour and sweet, and paired with a lake view window seat, you will feel full of happiness! 🏨Accommodation recommendation 🌟 Hoshino Oirase Keiryu Hotel: The accommodation is integrated with natural design, and you can see the maple stream when you open the window in autumn. 🚌Transportation tips ✅ Take the JR bus Mizumi from "Aomori Station" directly to Yuya (3 hours by car). There are few buses, so it is recommended to check the timetable in advance. ✅ Self-driving is the most flexible! Drive along National Highway 103, visit the Oirase Gorge and Hakkoda Mountain Cable Car, and collect classic attractions in Tohoku at one time. 📌#TravelTips: ▪️ In summer, it is recommended to choose the morning bus to avoid backlight! ▪️ The temperature at the lakeside in autumn is only 6-7 degrees, so be sure to bring a windproof jacket and wool hat. ✨The beauty of Lake Towada is a combination of tranquility and grandeur. Whether you take a boat to the center of the lake, stroll through the energy shrine, or simply sit by the lake and stare blankly, you can feel the healing power of nature! Add it to your must-go list in Tohoku~ #日本東東自驾游 #青森秘境 #火山湖绝景
