Tsugaru City

I had a very comfortable chartered car experience and really enjoyed traveling this way. It was expensive, but well worth it! I recommend it to those who don't drive or want to see the main attractions first and then explore the details on their own.

Mr. Motoki, the driver, drove very smoothly. He had a small lantern with his name written on it hanging above the car, making it easily identifiable and easy to find. For lunch, we ate at the stone oven pizza place recommended by Mr. Motoki. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet for an hour, with a wide variety of pizzas, as well as a rich selection of salads, fried foods, baked goods, pasta, etc. It was delicious and highly recommended. My favorite part of the trip was Oirase Creek; the waterfalls and streams were spectacular and beautiful, and the walk wasn't tiring. It was a pity that the Hakkoda Ropeway was closed. We took a boat trip on Lake Towada, but since the boat only had Japanese narration, it was quite boring for those of us who couldn't understand it.

The driver arranged the itinerary very well and was very friendly!! He could translate Japanese into English to explain things, making for a great travel experience, perfect for mindless following!
