Oirase is a famous scenic spot in the Tohoku region of Japan, located at the junction of Aomori Prefecture and Akita Prefecture. It is famous for its natural features full of lush forests, waterfalls and rugged rocks.

Aomori 1-Day Combo Tour: Oirase Gorge, Lake Towada, Mount Hakkoda, Hachinohe, and Takayama Inari Shrine (Departing from Aomori) | Japan
Mr. Ogura was very kind. Besides the three attractions mentioned above, we also visited Jigokunuma (Hell Swamp) and the Shirokura Bridge. Although it was more expensive than taking the JR bus ourselves, it was much more comfortable. Highly recommended!

Our driver, Mr. Yamada, was very kind. Although the cable car was closed due to strong winds that day, he recommended that we visit other attractions along the way instead. Although there were only a few autumn leaves, the scenery was still beautiful. The trails at the attractions didn't have many steps, making it suitable for traveling with older people.
