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

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #十和田市当代艺术館 A refreshing modern art museum that you can visit while traveling in Aomori. It is more of a venue than an exhibition hall. The art creation covers the periphery and park green space. With the lovely installation art decoration, the Towada City Art Museum is eye-catching! Looking from different angles, you will find different surprises. This is the uniqueness of the Towada City Art Museum. Like Yoshitomo Nara's YOROSHIKU GIRL, the lifelike giant woman Standing Woman, and the Flower Horse with flowers of the four seasons painted on its body, each exhibit looks very childlike and modern when photographed. Towada Museum of Contemporary Art 🕰️Business hours: 0900-1700 💰Average consumption per person: ¥1800 📍Address: 10-9 Nishi2bancho, Towada, Aomori 034-0082 Japan #Aomori #Towada #Towada City Museum of Contemporary Art

Towadakohan Sakura, a new type of hot spring inn, offers a fully self-service experience. Guests receive an authentication code via email and complete the check-in process using a tablet on-site. This setup is perfect for introverts who value privacy. However, guests need to make their own beds and heat up the pre-prepared dinner themselves! Located right next to the ferry terminal at Lake Towada, the inn offers rooms with picturesque views of the lake, which was the main reason we chose to stay here. The spacious and comfortable Japanese-style rooms feature warm wooden tones and soft lighting, creating a cozy, home-like atmosphere. Each room is equipped with its own water dispenser, which is very convenient. Cooking your own sukiyaki or hot pot adds a fun, homely touch to the experience. Unfortunately, there are no nearby supermarkets to buy extra ingredients. Thankfully, breakfast is self-serve, so there's no need to wake up early to prepare it yourself. During the off-season, a double room costs around 7,000 TWD per night, including breakfast and dinner. Considering the prime lakeside location with stunning views, it's well worth it. Plus, there's a large hot spring bath available for guests to enjoy, making the stay even more relaxing.

I'm glad I actually went. I've compiled a list of hotels to stay at on special days! Every place was so wonderful and amazing...!

#2024Travel Review A new base for early autumn on the shores of Lake Towada: "Lake Towada Hime-no-Sato" exhibition room. The location is excellent. It is right next to the prefectural road that cuts into the shore of Lake Towada. There is a free parking lot and a dining and exhibition complex rest area. In addition to displaying Lake Towada It also introduces the local geography and ecological features, and also introduces the local fish breeding process, which is quite educational and entertaining. There is a souvenir shop and restaurant inside the museum, selling local products from Kosaka Town and Aomori County, such as wine, honey and garlic. The restaurant provides local delicacies of Kosaka Town: Kosaka Town fried pork cutlet ramen, Hinai chicken parent-child donburi, Lake Blue soft ice cream, etc. In addition to the static exhibitions in the exhibition room, there is also the Himenasu Theater, which plays the Himenasu Theater every 30 minutes, allowing visitors to better understand the charm of the town. The bronze statue of an old couple standing at the entrance is the love story of the owner. It's a good place to stop and take a rest while looking at the beautiful Towada Lake. #Japan Northeast Free Travel #Northeast Maple Viewing #Towada Lake

#2024Travel Review After enjoying the autumn leaves in the Oirase Stream, we chose to start from the popular rest stop #Ishinoto on the second day. We originally wanted to go upstream to #云EI Falls, but we didn’t expect that there were so many tourists and a bunch of tour buses were scary, so we hurriedly changed the direction. Go in the opposite direction towards the #Sanchao River. Although the path is more primitive, the scenery is better and the crowds are much less. The Oirase Stream is famous for its beautiful green mountains and rapid cloud waterfalls. It is 14 kilometers long from Mount Yakiyama to Konoguchi. It is recommended to walk in sections to avoid the crowds and enjoy the scenery of the stream to yourself. ✓Yakiyama-Ishinoto Starting from the Oirase Keikikan, it passes through Shimeike, Kise, Fudoiwa, and Sanrano Ryu to Ishinoto Rest House. The total length is about 5.6 kilometers and the journey takes about 2 hours. This section of the trail is more difficult to walk. Although it is more primitive, the red leaves bloom later, which makes it more beautiful. ✓Ishinoto-Kumei Waterfall Large tour buses can be parked at Ishinoto Rest House. Generally, tour groups start walking from here and walk all the way to Kumoi Falls. The total length is about 2.7 kilometers and the journey takes about 60 minutes. The road conditions are the best, but the crowds are also the largest. The scenic spots along the way include Mamen Rock, Ashura Falls, Showa Pond and Yunjing Falls. ✓Yunjing Waterfall-Chozi Waterfall This section is also a good experience. There are many waterfalls to see along the way, such as Yunjing Waterfall, Shuanglong Waterfall, Baibu Waterfall, Yanguan Waterfall, Yulian Waterfall, Baixi Waterfall, Jiudaan Waterfall, etc., as well as the most spectacular Choshi Falls. The waterfall is about 4 kilometers long and the journey takes about 95 minutes. #Japan Northeast Free Travel #Northeast Maple Viewing #Oirase Stream

#2024Travel Review Go to the most beautiful part of Oirase Stream #Choshi Falls! On this self-driving trip to enjoy the maples in the Northeast, after passing Lake Towada, I finally came to the legendary Northeastern scenic spot #Oirase Stream. Since I stayed at Hoshino for two nights, I was not in a hurry to finish the Oirase Stream in one go. Let’s start with “Choshi Falls” which is closest to the mouth of Towada Lake! Choshi Falls is the largest and most spectacular of the Oirase Gorge waterfalls. The waterfall is 7 meters high and 20 meters wide. The pouring waterfall splashes a lot of water, which is quite shocking! And the closer you get to Lake Towada, the maple leaf rice is in full bloom. With the golden and red maple leaves, the gurgling stream and the magnificent waterfall, it is really an excellent place to take pictures! There are many tourists in Oirase Stream. If you don’t want to be crowded, it is recommended to walk from Choshi Falls to Shinoguchi, or back to Yunten Falls. There are much fewer crowds and the quality of tourism is better. #JapanNortheast Free Travel #Northeastern Maple Viewing #Oirase Stream #choshi Falls #Towada Lake #Aomori #Hoshino Oirase Stream Hotel

#2024Travel Review On the Northeast maple viewing self-driving trip, we came to the highlight of this itinerary #OiraseStream. Unfortunately, the red leaves are coming to an end. Although they are sparse, the crowds are still unabated, and the quality of tourism is greatly reduced. Fortunately, on the way to Tsuta Hot Spring the next day, I unexpectedly discovered a secret place of red leaves with almost no one at it. It is opposite the Oirase Hoshino Park, at the confluence of the Tsuta River and the Oirase River, along the Tsuta River. The area from the bank of Kawakawa River to Tsutagawa Hot Spring is the hinterland of Sunagawa Park. There are very few tourists along the Tsutagawa River. Most of them go to Tsuta Hot Spring and Hakkoda Mountain, so few people stay. However, the scenery along the way is no less than that of Oirase River, and the red leaves are in full bloom. Take a ride on the small sand dam waterfall to get more. It is divided into original natural features. It is highly recommended that if you want to avoid the crowds, you can take a walk in the direction of Tsutawa River, which will definitely make your camera stop taking pictures! #JapanNortheast Free Travel #Northeastern Maple Viewing #茑川 #Oirase Stream #Aomori #Towada City #火山

#2024Travel Review Driving from Sendai to Oirase Gorge, you will definitely arrive at Lake Towada first. This crater lake is located at the junction of Aomori and Akita. It is beautiful, clean and a little mysterious. Visiting in different seasons and times will show different appearances, which is quite charming. The azure blue of the water and the sky, the crystal clear purity, are the first impression that Lake Towada gives people. It is also the third deepest lake in Japan, several times larger than Sun Moon Lake. If you want to experience the beauty of Lake Towada, in addition to driving around the lake, you can also choose to take a boat trip on the lake. There are docks at both Kyūya and Konoguchi where you can take a boat. It takes about 40 minutes to go around and the scenery is infinitely beautiful. When we first arrived at Lake Towada, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky and lake surface merged into the same color as the sea and sky. It was blue and clear, and the road was golden. A few days later, when we returned to Lake Towada, the temperature dropped sharply the night before, and the sky was hazy and windy. Not only did the pier stop sailing, There is snow on both sides of the road, and the scenery is very different. It was a worthwhile trip to experience the different styles of Lake Towada at the same time. #Japan Northeast Free Travel #Northeastern Maple Viewing #Towada Lake #Oirase Stream #Aomori #Akita #2024 Travel Review

#Art Gallery #Parent-child travel recommendation #Kusama Yayoi #NARA Yoshitomo #100 ways to travel 🎠This art museum designed by the famous architect Ryue Nishizawa (one of his representative works: Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Art), the building itself is a work of art. White cube buildings of different sizes are scattered around, and transparent corridors connect each independent exhibition space, cleverly combining indoor and outdoor spaces and integrating art into life. Through the large glass windows, the exhibits and the street view complement each other, blurring the boundaries between art and life. 🎠The art museum collects works by many internationally renowned artists, such as Yoshitomo Nara, Yayoi Kusama, etc. Each work has its own room, allowing visitors to appreciate the delicate beauty of art up close. These works are full of childlike interest and imagination, and both adults and children can find resonance in them. 🎠Many art installations are also installed in the outdoor spaces around the art museum, allowing visitors to walk in nature and feel the charm of art. Including pumpkins in the square and pillows on the sidewalk, the entire city is our art gallery! 🎠I particularly like Standing Woman. I felt a huge sense of oppression when I first entered the exhibition hall, but after a closer look, I can feel the artist's unique craftsmanship with his handling of details and sharp eyes! 🎠 wEdificio No. 20 (can it be translated as w building?), using the clever arrangement of mirrors, the visitors themselves instantly become part of the exhibition, and can also use their creativity to make many funny actions? ! It should be more fun if you come with a group of friends 😆

Michelin Green Guide Two Stars [Oirase Stream] Oirase Stream is a 14km long stream💡 The source is Lake Towada. You'll want to take a deep breath in the beautiful natural scenery💓 The moss-covered rocks and bridges are nostalgic, and the dynamic flow makes you feel like the forest is moving✨ I've come here in the lush green season, but no matter when you visit, you'll be impressed by the beautiful scenery of the four seasons🎶 There are plenty of parking lots, rest areas, and toilets along the stream, so you can plan your trip according to your purpose, such as a walk or hike♪ 📍Location: Oirase River, Oirase, Towada City, Aomori Prefecture #Oirase Stream #Towada #Aomori #Aomori Trip #0 Yen Trip November

Amazing 👏 Truly a spectacular view [Tsuta Numa] You can see the graceful autumn leaves from the wide observation deck. If there is no wind, the leaves are reflected on the lake surface, making it even more beautiful⭐️ Park your car in the parking lot of Tsuta Onsen♨️ and walk for about 10 minutes. The promenade along the way is also beautiful, and you can feel the negative ions all over your body✨ There are admission restrictions during the autumn leaves season in October. Advance reservations are required from 5am to 7:30am, when the leaves turn bright red with the sunrise. Reservations can be made on the Towada City website. 2,000 yen per person. No reservations are required from 7:30am to 4pm. You can enter if the parking lot is available. Parking fee is 2,000 yen, which also serves as an environmental conservation contribution🚗 Toilets are located next to the parking lot. During the autumn foliage season, the road in front of the park gets congested, so we recommend that you visit with plenty of time 💡 📍Location: (Parking lot) 1-12 Okuse Tsuta, Towada City, Aomori Prefecture #TsutaNuma #Towada #Aomori #AomoriTrip #0yenTripNovember

[Restaurant and guesthouse Keigetsu] You can see the Oirase River from the window of the 6-tatami Japanese-style room✨ For dinner, we had Towada's local cuisine, such as sweet and spicy grilled beef belly, fried rainbow trout that you can eat from head to tail, and wild vegetable dishes. It was very filling⭐️ The toilet and bath are shared. In the fall, there are many stink bugs, and they give off a unique smell when crushed, so we just stick them with duct tape to get rid of them. There were quite a few of them, and I got good at catching stink bugs😂 The restaurant also serves lunch. 📍Address: 64-263 Horyou Yakeyama, Towada City, Aomori Prefecture 💰Price per person: 8,000 yen for one night and two meals #Towada #Oirase Stream #Aomori #Aomori Trip #0 Yen Trip November

#GINKGO #100 Ways to Travel In addition to red leaves in autumn in Northeast Japan, yellow leaves are also indispensable #gingko. During this free trip to Northeast Japan, I visited several scenic spots where ginkgos are in full bloom. I share them as follows: #Kakunodate is known as Oku's Little Kyoto, especially the street in the samurai house. The maple leaves and ginkgo trees bloom at the same time, dyeing the entire thatched house of the samurai house in a golden red. It is really beautiful! #Morioka Castle Ruins Morioka Castle, located close to the river and located high up, is full of cherry blossoms, maples, and ginkgo trees. With the remains of the city wall as the background, the golden ginkgo trees stand tall and straight, giving it a unique sense of history. # aomori Ginkgo is a street tree in Aomori. Ginkgo trees are planted on both sides of the main road extending to the harbor next to A-Factory, but the intervals are a bit wide. Each blooming ginkgo has a lonely beauty. #中野山 Although it is a well-known maple viewing spot, there are still huge ginkgo trees along the maple viewing platform. Especially at the maple viewing platform, there are whole yellow leaves, overwhelmingly dyeing the entire mountain forest yellow, which is quite healing. #OiraseStream The most popular natural attraction in Northeast Japan, the gurgling stream, the red and yellow colors of autumn, and the sunlight shining through the gaps between the maple leaves and ginkgo trees, are as beautiful as a painting. There are many kinds of trees in Oirase Stream, including red leaves, ginkgo, cedar and other color-changing deciduous trees. Once the seasons change, it is even more beautiful and it is extremely pleasant to walk along it. #日本 Northeast Free Travel #gingko #红叶 #100 ways to travel

#100 Ways to Travel #Oirase Gorge Museum Located at the entrance of the Oirase Gorge, it is a tourist facility that integrates gorge information display, shopping, cafes, and nature guide services. It is also a stop for shuttle buses, making it a great place to rest after a long walk. There is a small natural ecology display in the museum, which uses photos and scenes to tell you about the natural landscape of the Oirase Gorge. It even marks the areas where wild brown bears are found, as well as species of other wild animals and plants, and is quite educational. Of course, the rest area must have a shop to buy souvenirs and a cafe to eat desserts. Aomori is indeed the origin of apples. There are three flavors of apple pie and apple juice. They all look delicious and you don’t know where to start! There is also a Yongshui Pavilion next to it, which is a landscape restaurant. It is difficult to park along the Oirase Gorge, but there are plenty of parking spaces at the Stream Museum, so you can use this as a starting point and walk along the Oirase Gorge. #JapanTohokuFreeTravel #Oirase Gorge #100TravelWays

#Snow-watching #100 ways to travel The most interesting thing about traveling is often not everything that was planned in advance. Sometimes unexpected emergencies are often the most impressive memories. This time I went to Oirase Gorge in Japan to view the autumn leaves, it actually snowed. I was so lucky! Early in the morning, rain mixed with snow fell, and we immediately decided to head towards #茑温泉. The higher we drove, the more snow accumulated on the roadside, and then heavy snow and rain fell! Tsuta Hot Spring is covered in white snow, and it instantly turns into an ice and snow cottage from a fairy tale, so dreamy! The snow-white mountains, snow-white woods, snow-white roads, everything seems so unreal. Although the snow scenery is beautiful, driving is a little dangerous. Fortunately, the sun came out soon and the snow and rain stopped. The foot of the mountain and the riverside are still covered with red maple leaves. It was worth the trip to see two beautiful scenery at once. #JapanTohokuFreeTravel #Oirase Gorge #Tsutanuma #SnowViewing #100TravelWays

#resort #100 ways to travel When traveling to the beautiful scenery of Northeastern Japan #Oirase Gorge, of course you have to stay at the beautiful resort #Hoshino Oirase Gorge Hotel! It is located in the first row next to the Oirase Stream and has a river view. It is also a favorite among Taiwanese tourists. The most chilled one-stop, two-food option will make you forget to leave. As soon as I stepped into Hoshino Hall, I was struck by the installation art of Taro Okamoto's "Forest Fairy Tale" bronze giant clock. Coupled with the scenery of green trees and red leaves outside the window, it is really beautiful! The West Building has a corresponding giant clock "River God", and you can drink apple juice and coffee during your stay. The public open-air hot spring pool at Hoshino Resorts has an excellent view of the stream and red leaves. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while taking a bath. So for accommodation, book the most basic room type. One room, two meals including breakfast and dinner. The cost per person is less than NT$5,000! It may be at the end of the maple leaf season that there are bargains to be found. Dinner was a buffet at the Apple Restaurant, with a variety of apple desserts and all-you-can-drink apple juice. Frankly speaking, food is really not Hoshino's strong point, but the restaurant decoration style is very impressive. Various experiences are also Hoshino's strengths. There are many hand-made experiences that interact with nature and streams, and there are also Oirase stream connection or guided tours. It can really satisfy guests of all ages and is well worth staying. Last night, I experienced the beauty of Oirase Stream firsthand. #奥尔怿流 #OHoshino Oirase Stream Hotel #Resort #Japan Tohoku Free Travel #Aomori #Towada Lake #100 Ways to Travel

Hoshino Oirase Stream In addition to the buffet, there is also a French meal option - Sonore, eco-friendly than the buffet quieter, enjoy dinner in a romantic atmosphere. Priced at JPY18,150 per person, the service and environment is top notch. The staff is very attentive and explains the food source and cooking techniques in detail on each plate. The whole meal had about eleven courses (including dessert) so it was quite filling. Each dish uses fresh local ingredients coupled with the chef’s cooking skills. Among them, in my opinion, the most most delicious ones are: Duck 🦆 Paired with Aomori's famous silver duck and local cuisine - squid sweet and sour sauce, served with jujube puree. Full of flavor Beef🐂 It is charcoal-grilled matured beef, fresh and tender, served with Martell wine, delicious Apple pie Aomori is most famous for its apples, the dessert uses four varieties of apples, taking four hours to bake, very sweet and bite-sized apple aroma swirling in the mouth, served with vanilla ice cream, ice and fire blend! It's the evening's spoiler: 👦🏻 The proposal was successful, it was a surprise, while thanking the hotel staff for their enthusiastic help. Give me a very memorable night

A must-see spot on any trip to Misawa, Towada Art Center 𓂃𓃱𓈒𓏸 The admission fee is 1,800 yen, which is not cheap, but you will definitely be satisfied❕😙✨ Shortly after entering the museum, the Standing Woman, the main attraction, appears!! ︎🫢💘 I was overwhelmed by its size, about 4m tall, but when I looked closely, the wrinkles and sagging of the skin, the veins that show through the skin, and each individual hair were so realistic😳 It was amazing how the expression changed depending on the angle I was looking at it from, and it really grabbed my heart🫣🫀 The museum is very large and there is plenty to see🌟 It was nice that it was quiet and calm on weekdays🥰 There is also a lot of art in the outdoor art plaza zone, and there is really a lot to see😄📸 It is about a 40-minute drive from Misawa Airport, and although it is a bit of a walk, the dedicated parking lot can be used for free after paying the viewing fee🚗💨 Please note that it is closed on Mondays⚠️ Free for high school students and younger😆👏🏻 #Domestic travel#Art museum #Aomori Prefecture

I want you to stay here at least once in your life 🥹 I stayed at the luxurious Keiryu Suite Room at Hoshino Resorts Oirase Keiryu Hotel, which has the theme of "A reward spent with the mountain stream." 🌱✨ The spacious 120 square meter room has a hot spring where you can enjoy the view of the mountain stream, and is decorated with a mural made of real moss, making it an extremely luxurious space... The room design is also full of attention to detail, with an interior wall made of kobushi wood, a dining table inspired by the flow of a mountain stream, and even a lampshade inspired by mushrooms! In the morning, we had a special breakfast in our room ✨ It was an open sandwich inspired by moss, and it was a stay where we really enjoyed the moss to the fullest ✨ Even looking back at the photos, it was so amazing... 🥹 #summertrip #touristspots #aomorihotel #aomoritourism #oirasekeiryuhotel

Oirase Keiryu is located in Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, in the northeast. You can take a JR bus from Aomori Station or stay at the local Hoshinoya Resort Oirase Keiryu Hotel and reserve a free shuttle bus. Walking into the forests that change with the seasons and the well-developed trails with crisscrossing streams and rapids and natural ecology, the fresh air filled with endorphins makes you feel relaxed and refreshed, relaxing your usually busy and tense mood. You can also rent a bicycle at the Oirase Stream Museum and enjoy it slowly while stretching your legs. #Tohoku #Aomori #Forest Bathing #Oirase Gorge
