We'll explore all the famous Oirase area in one day, with our Japanese driver using a translator. Besides the three attractions mentioned, we'll also have flexible stops at Jokura Bridge and the water lily pond for a stroll. Hakkoda Mountain offers stunning scenery, but the crowds behind us might have limited us, leaving less than 30 minutes to explore after taking the cable car. We'll choose the main points of the Oirase Gorge for walking and photo opportunities, otherwise a full day would be exhausting. At Lake Towada, we'll have more free time to explore the lake and shrines. Since our group was just three people, gathering and taking photos was quick, so we arrived back around 5:00 AM, a very fulfilling experience. It's impossible to visit so many places by bus alone.
