On the first day, the cable car was out of service, but they were very considerate and asked if we wanted to change it. The next day, the weather cleared up, allowing us to experience the strong winds at the summit and see the tree ice up close. If you need any equipment, you can borrow it on-site without worrying about the cold.
Thank you to "Mr. Motoki" for the safe and professional driving during this chartered trip. Facing heavy snow, he was a real eye-opener for us, as it was our first time visiting Aomori. Although one section of the road was closed, he always arranged suitable scenic spots. During our journey along the Oirase Stream, we were allowed to walk a short distance to appreciate the beauty of nature; he also reminded us to take photos of particularly beautiful scenery. My family was extremely satisfied with the trip! 😀
Aside from the indescribable beauty of Oirase Gorge, the driver was incredibly kind and friendly, the ride was smooth and comfortable, and the timing was perfect.
