📅 Itinerary
Day 1: Senshu Park and Shopping Street
Day 2: Head to Hirosaki Station to board the Shirakami-Sanchi (Gonō Line) sightseeing train. You'll need to purchase a basic ticket and reserved seats on the Gono Line online. Enjoy the coastal scenery along the way. If you're planning to enter Shirakami-san from Juniko, I recommend getting off at Juniko Station. I chose to stay in Hirosaki, but the main point of my trip was Aomori Station. I visited the A Factory apple factory and bought some products. I also enjoyed a freshly baked apple pie (500 yen). Then, I walked along the seaside bridge to the product center.
🏨 Accommodation: Daiwa Roynet Hotel Akita Station

📌 Practical Tips: Tickets for the Gono Line sightseeing train must be purchased in advance. There are two entrances to Shirakami-san: Juniko and the bus terminal near Hirosaki Station. The Shirakami-san sightseeing bus departs at 8:20 AM in the summer of 2025, and the journey takes one hour.
