2025 Fukaura Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

⭐Attractiveness of the Spot: Takitsubo Pond, one of the twelve lakes in Aomori Prefecture, is a tranquil spot where the lush greenery of the surroundings and the clear blue water surface are in beautiful harmony. As the name suggests, this pond is a place where water flowing down from a waterfall accumulates, and the surrounding forest reflected in the calm water surface shows a beauty that is like a painting. The quiet atmosphere of the pond provides healing and peace of mind to visitors. 😎Recommended points: The biggest attraction of Takitsubo Pond is its highly transparent water and the scenery woven by nature. Especially in the summer, the contrast between the water of the pond and the lush leaves is exceptional. In addition, there are walking paths around the pond, so you can enjoy a quiet and calm nature walk. It is a place where you can spend time feeling the breath of nature while listening to the sound of the waterfall flowing. 🚃Access: To get to Takitsubo Pond, take a bus at "Juniko Station" on the JR Gono Line and walk for about 30 minutes from the last stop, "Oku-Juniko Lake," or take a bus for a few minutes from the station. If you visit by car, it is about a 2.5 hour drive from Aomori city and about a 2 hour drive from Hirosaki city. If you use public transportation, it is a good idea to check in advance as there are few trains and buses. 🧺Shopping: There is nothing around the waterfall pond, but there are shops for tourists around Aoike where you can purchase local specialties and snacks. In particular, sweets and drinks with Aoike motifs are popular. It is also a perfect souvenir to commemorate your visit. ❗Useful information: When visiting the waterfall pond, we recommend that you wear comfortable shoes and clothes according to the season. In addition, the area around the pond is rich in nature and the humidity is high, so it is comfortable to bring insect repellent spray. The walking paths around the pond are well maintained, but caution is required as they can become slippery on rainy days and with morning dew. #100TravelStyles #AomoriTourism #SummerMemories #ForestBathing

⭐Spot Highlights The Japan Canyon in Aomori Prefecture is a natural scenic spot characterized by its beautiful white cliffs. These formations are exposed limestone that has been eroded over many years, earning it the nickname 'Japan's Grand Canyon.' The sudden appearance of these white rock faces amidst lush green mountains gives visitors a sense of the powerful forces of nature. ❤Recommended Points Japan Canyon is especially recommended for hiking enthusiasts. There are walking trails around the canyon where you can enjoy the magnificent scenery while strolling through nature. Additionally, the observation deck offers a panoramic view of the Japan Canyon, and you will surely be impressed by its overwhelming scale. In autumn, the beautiful foliage creates a stunning contrast with the surrounding vibrant nature. 🚃Access It is about a 1.5-hour drive from Hirosaki Station or about a 2-hour drive from Aomori Station. If using public transportation, you can access the area by bus, but the number of buses is limited, so it's advisable to check in advance. ❗Useful Information Some parts of the walking trails are uneven, so it's recommended to visit in comfortable shoes and clothing. The path to the observation deck can be a bit steep, so if you're not confident in your physical strength, take your time and walk slowly. Bringing water and light snacks is also a good idea.

Oiwa Beach is a tourist spot near Fukaura Station. I didn't know about it until I visited, but it was really beautiful. If you make an effort, you can see it during the time the Resort Shirakami stops, so I recommend it. However, there are some very steep stairs, so be careful. #Gono Line #Train Trip #Aomori Tourism

This huge rock towering over the beach is connected to the mainland by a single road where the waves constantly crash, and you can climb to the top of the rock, which is as high as a small hill, via stairs inside a cave. After a little adventure, awaits you: a 360° panoramic view overlooking the Sea of ​​Japan. On a clear day, you can even see Mount Iwaki and the Shirakami Mountains, a World Heritage Site.

The Shirakami Mountains, which straddle Aomori and Akita prefectures, are one of Japan's most representative natural world heritage sites, along with Yakushima. The "Twelve Lakes" are nestled in the forests of Shirakami. There are literally twelve large and small lakes and ponds scattered throughout the forest, and one of them, the "Aoike" Pond, is a spot that can be said to be the symbol of the Shirakami Mountains. By the way, this is the Aoike Pond in Shirakami, which is different from the "Shirogane Blue Pond" in Biei, Hokkaido. The Aoike Pond in Biei is an artificial lake, but this one is natural. The Aoike Pond, which was born from the underground waters of Shirakami, is transparent all the way to the bottom of the 9m pond, and fallen trees lie there without rotting. If Hokkaido's Blue Pond is milky blue, this one is azure blue. The blue of the pond is most brilliant around 10-11am. It is said that the best time to see it is when the new leaves are in bloom. The Blue Pond is actually very small, and you can see it from the observation wooden deck. If you climb the stairs on the side, you can look down from a little higher. Access from the parking lot is good, and it takes about 10 minutes on a relatively flat road. Personally, I also highly recommend the spring pond beyond, so I hope you'll stretch your legs and take a walk through the forest. #tripdomestictravel #aomoriprefecture #spectacularview #springwater #worldheritagesite

Twelve Lakes (Juniko Twelve Lakes, Juniko means 12 lakes in Japanese) is a collective name for 33 ponds and lakes. This area is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its beautiful scenery. In April this year, I visited the Twelve Lakes in Aomori Shirakami Sanchi. I took the Japan Railway from Akita to Juniko Station and stayed at the Awone Shirakami Juniko Hotel for two days and one night. I wandered around the Twelve Lakes with the hotel's tour guide. It is truly a beautiful place with various lakes, reflections of the forests in the water, and birds in the mountains, like a fairyland! Additionally, the food at the hotel was top-notch, offering high-quality Japanese cuisine!

⭐Attractiveness of the Spot: The Juniko Ecomuseum in Aomori Prefecture is a spot where you can experience the beautiful natural environment of the Shirakami-Sanchi Mountains. The nearby group of lakes called the Juniko Lakes are dotted with various lakes of various sizes, and among them, the "Aoike Pond" is particularly famous, and its mysterious blue color is worth seeing. The Ecomuseum plays a role in protecting this rich natural environment while conveying its charm to visitors. ❤Recommended Points: At the Juniko Ecomuseum, you can not only enjoy nature walks and hiking, but the visitor center also has exhibits on the flora and fauna of the Shirakami-Sanchi Mountains. In particular, the walking trails around Aoike Pond are very popular, and you will be captivated by the beauty of the clear blue pond. There are also guided eco-tours, where you can gain a deeper understanding of the nature of the Shirakami-Sanchi Mountains while listening to expert commentary. 🚃Access: It is about a 10-minute bus ride or 20-minute walk from "Juniko Lake Station" on the JR Gono Line. You can also access it by car, about a two-and-a-half hour drive from Aomori city or Akita city. ❗Useful information: We recommend combining your visit with a visit to Lake Juniko and the nearby hot springs and accommodations. There is a lot of snowfall in winter, so it is a good idea to check road conditions and public transportation information before visiting. 🪙Shopping: At the Eco Museum, you can purchase souvenirs related to Shirakami-Sanchi. Books and goods themed on the nature of Shirakami-Sanchi are perfect as a memento of your visit. #100TravelStyles #AomoriTourism #SummerVacationTrip

⭐Spot Highlights Senjojiki Coast in Aomori Prefecture is a captivating spot known for its vast rock formations. These rocks, sculpted by the relentless waves, resemble a natural masterpiece. The blue Pacific Ocean and sky, along with the foamy white waves, create an overwhelmingly beautiful scene. Especially at sunset, the coastline turns golden, offering a magical view that soothes the soul. ❤Recommended Points Senjojiki Coast is also popular for activities like tide-pooling and fishing. The crevices in the rocks are home to crabs and shellfish, making it a great spot for families with children. The coastline, which changes its appearance with the seasons, is perfect for photography. You can feel the breath of nature while strolling along the coastal promenade. 🚃Access: It's about a 1.5-hour drive from Aomori Station or right in front of Senjojiki Station on the Gono Line. While public transportation is convenient, services are infrequent, so it's a good idea to check the timetable in advance. ❗Useful Information Due to the rocky terrain, it's best to wear comfortable shoes. Also, the sea breeze can be strong, so bringing a jacket will make your visit more comfortable. Even in summer, the wind can feel chilly in the early morning and evening, so be prepared. 🪙Shopping There are small eateries near the coast where you can enjoy seafood from Aomori Prefecture.

Lake Juniko This tourist spot is so beautiful that it has been selected as part of the Shirakami Sanchi Natural World Heritage Site. It is located in Fukauramachi, Aomori Prefecture, Tohoku Region, Japan. It is quite a long journey. If you take the express train from Aomori Station to Juniko Station, it will take more than 3 hours, and it will take 6 hours. But the lake is worth seeing because of its clear, blue water (but the picture came out green 🤣). #discoveryourownjapan #japantohoku #aomori

One of the scenic spots on the west coast, this unique sight of rocks rising above the sea level stretches for about 12km, unlike anything you've ever seen before. You can also enjoy the scenery on the Resort Shirakami cruising train on the JR Gono Line, which travels slowly around Senjojiki. The Japan Sea side is one of the most beautiful coasts, as the sun sets into the sea, making the sky and sea glow red. It is said that these rocks were formed by the uplift of the coast due to an earthquake about 200 years ago. It is also a mecca for swimming beaches and campsites.
