All Moments About Tohoku region
Tohoku, Japan - A tourist destination that has become popular this year
#2024TravelReview
We finally managed to get in this year after not being able to visit the Imperial Palace last year due to not having a reservation or waiting in line. Outside of Tokyo, this was our first visit to the Tohoku region of Honshu, Japan. It's full of history and beautiful scenery. And the foxes in the fox village are very cute.
Take a trip to the Tohoku region of Japan.

🏯Tohoku is a region in the northern part of the Kanto region. It is full of nature and forests that are still very rich. This city is very famous for its changing leaves. The cities we went to were Sendai, Ibaraki, Fukushima, and Akita.
✨To get to the Tohoku area, we took the train from Tokyo. It is a route with beautiful nature to see.

Beautiful view Japan
Enjoy the autumn colors in Tohoku, a region known for its beautiful natural scenery!
🍁 Aomori Prefecture- Oirase
Oirase in Aomori Prefecture will captivate you with its beauty! Marvel at the artistic splendors of nature, and see the stream weaving between the autumn trees.
🍁 Akita Prefecture-Lake Towada
Close to Oirase lies the majestic Lake Towada, where the reflection of the blazing autumn foliage on crystal-clear waters is a must-see sight. You can also enjoy Akita’s famous kiritanpo, cylindrical rice cakes often served in hotpots- the perfect autumn dish!
🍁 Iwate Prefecture -Hachimantai
Iwate’s Hachimantai area, famous for its onsen hot springs, attracts nature-lovers in every season. The scenic Aspite Line and Jukai Line roads are perfect for an autumnal drive!
These locations are all part of the Towada-Hachimantai National Park, one of the best-preserved nature areas in Japan. Why not start planning your autumn trip in Tohoku? Isn't it beautiful ❤️
Recommended sightseeing spots in Northeast Japan - Koiwai Farm
Koiwai Farm in winter - fun, delicious and beautiful!
Once you arrive at Koiwai Farm, have a barbecue at the igloo canteen! 🍖
After eating and drinking, we started to build snowmen and have snowball fights~
When you are tired, come back to eat the super rich milk ice cream 🍦 and cheesecake 🍰
Then enjoy the romantic sunset🌇
As night falls, the romantic winter lights at Koiwai Farm are stunning. The area is large and fun to visit ~ and there’s even a fireworks show! 🎆
Such a perfect attraction really needs to be recommended!
It is perfect for couples and families! ❤️

Cherry Blossom Appointment: A poetic moment when snow and flowers interweave
Cherry blossoms are like a feast of light
It has already quietly bloomed in every corner of the world
Pure petals, as soft as a dream
Trembling slightly in the singing of the spring breeze
When time gently moves to the northeast of Japan
There is a visual feast waiting quietly
A wonderful fusion of cherry blossoms and snow
Just like the dreamlike interweaving described in the poem
Snowflakes caress the cherry blossoms' cheeks
The petals spread their wings and fly in the cold wind
This is a scene of extreme beauty, an interweaving of cold and warm
As if on nature's own canvas
A random stroke
Leaving behind an inimitable color
Here, every cherry blossom has its own story
Every piece of snow carries the secret of winter
This is not just a viewing
It is a journey of deep dialogue with nature.
Let people be in the poem of flowers and snow
Find the eternity of that moment

Autumn leaves in the Tohoku region
Looking for the best spots to enjoy fall foliage in the Northeast this fall? 🍁
Autumn in the Northeast usually begins in late September, with the arrival of the fall leaves season. There are many different ways to enjoy the beauty of autumn. For example, the Hakko Ropeway, Hachimantai Aspite Line, Zao Ropeway, Funa Hara and Geibikei Cruise are all great options for enjoying the autumn colors and beauty of Aomori, Hachimantai, Yamagata, Shizukuishi and Ichinoseki.
The trees in the area gradually change color from north to south, so the best time to view the fall colors also varies. For example, early October is the best time to visit Aomori, while late November is the best time to enjoy the autumn scenery in Fukushima.

Spring and summer in Japan
I love to go to Japan to see cherry blossoms, see autumn leaves and ski.
Japan in summer is green and fresh.
All the way from Sendai to Morioka to Akita Aomori and then to Hachinohe.
Along the way are lush green maple and apple trees, gurgling water, occasionally see a couple of cherry blossoms and red leaves, snow-capped mountains that have not melted all the snow, and a large field of rapeseed flowers!

Japan Tohoku Geibi Gorge Cruise
There are many beautiful attractions in Northeast Japan
This is not the first time I have been to Tohoku, Japan.
I chose this attraction that I wanted to visit.
From Ichinoseki Station, take the JR to Geibikei Station
The first boat in winter is at 9:30, so please pay attention.
You need to take off your shoes when you get on board. There is heating on.
There is feed available for purchase to feed the ducklings
The scenery along the cruise is beautiful
At the end, the boat will stop and sail for about 20 minutes.
Take some photos and then go back along the way
This cruise is worth taking

Missing can mean this
Tea is grown in the fields, the best leaves
In the pot, slowly simmering with you,
Sweet and mysterious thoughts.
