This is the Oirase Keiryu located near Towada Lake, Aomori prefecture. There are buses that takes approximately three hours to reach from Aomori city. The stream flows along the floor of the Oirase Gorge, winding among the lush trees. It is Famous for the autumn view when the leaves turn red~ There are over a dozen waterfalls along the stream. It is said that the hiking trail is easy to follow. However, I did not try as we had driven there~ I loved how fresh the air was and it’s really lovely to be surrounded by nature 👍🏼

The Oirase Gorge is one of the most beautiful river valleys in Japan, with vibrant and fast flowing water. The gorge extends over 14 km from the contrastively calm Lake Towada. The Oirase Gorge shows its beauty in different ways throughout the four seasons. However, the gorge is mostly known for its spectacular autumn foliage in the fall season.
The Oirase Gorge has an enchanting atmosphere with many waterfalls and thick woods. Starting in October, the leaves of the trees begin to change to vibrant red and yellow, adding to the already vivid green of the moss on the rocks, adding colors to a magnificent sight. The autumn colors peak every year around the end of October to the beginning of November. Visitors can hike around the gorge on the hiking trail. The gorge is a National Special Place of Scenic Beauty and National Natural Monument.

Trekking thru Oirase Stream to Lake Towada
Took the JR bus from Hachinohe station down to Oirase Keiryukan and started my walk from there. be aware of the weather bcos apparently it had been raining for 2 full weeks the week before I went!
The walk is very scenic and there will be opportunities to go down to the river and have a feel of the water. At other parts of the stream, you will just be in awe of the rapids flowing through.
The walk was relatively easy as there is a significant portion along the road and others which are trails. A solid 8/10 for this location 👍🏼

The Aojinyu Stream in Aomori Prefecture, Hokkaido, Japan, is known as the first place in the Northeast. The clear and beautiful stream flows slowly and is surrounded by virgin forests. Walking along the creek, walking under the vast trees, breathing fresh and humid air, all kinds of large and small waterfalls can be seen everywhere, as well as the mossy and vine-wrapped rocks floating on the water.
When I went, it was summer. In fact, the autumn of the Oyster River is a resort for red leaves. Imagine how beautiful it will be, and there will be a chance to come again in the fall.
Arrival: In front of JR Aomori Station or JR Shin-Aomori Station, take the JR bus "Lake" No. 2, and get off at about 120 minutes.

If you come to Japan in the fall, don't miss the Aomori's maple leaf. What is the difference between Japanese maple leaves and Chinese maple leaves? In fact, they are all basically the same. The difference is the scenery. Whether it is an urban environment or a natural environment, Japan is equally clean and remarkable. The same flaming maple leaf, almost hit the spotless road, clear white zebra pattern and logo, you can immediately escape the illusion of domestic travel, telling your soul and body to bring back to Japan, If you have been here, you know that it is no exaggeration to say this! The autumn flaming maple leaves gather together, as if they were confusing with the sun, on the clean road, through the mottled mark left by the light. Duck-like maple leaves, falling behind the sporadic crystal clear dew, is very pleasant. In the autumn mountains, the morning glow, the shimmering light to the earth, and the glow of the evening glow, everywhere is the fire-like maple leaf, looking far away, like a group of agate! "Parking and sitting in love with Fenglin in the evening, frosty leaves in red in February." The maple leaf is placed on the tip of the nose, and the breathing is closed slowly. The fragrance comes from the nose. This is the breath of nature, a sense of isolation and ethereality. Maple Leaf, constantly confiding the sadness of autumn, together with the thick leaves, wrote a natural love! People remember that the maple leaves are about to wither, but they are still suffering from the cold wind until one day they return to the earth.

The Ouqiu River is a resort for red leaves. It has a total length of more than ten kilometers and a height difference of about two hundred meters. There are many waterfalls along the way, with different postures. Now this season, the river is strolling, surrounded by lush greenery, and you can imagine that autumn will be another beauty.
This is just a trip from Yuzha Waterfall to Zizi Waterfall. If you have the chance to hope to go again in the fall~~The road next to the promenade is a lane, there are several bus stops, the number of flights is limited, and the long-distance walking route The road along the road is very small. It is a little easier to take a section of the car.

The Oirase Stream is in the Aomori Prefecture of Japan and belongs to the Tohoku region of Japan.
Many people know this place, or because of the frog son who was very popular some time ago. There is a card that is difficult to draw here. In reality, it is also a good place for Japanese to enjoy red leaves and hiking.
Although I only saw the yellow leaves, it is good to be able to breathe fresh air in the woods.
There is a shuttle bus between each attraction, which is suitable for people who can't walk, but there are fewer shifts. If you want to take the proposal, calculate the time.
If you have a fast footwork, you can choose to walk. In such a beautiful forest, I dont have to stop and go to enjoy the unmanned time. Anyway, I walked completely.

This time, I just walked the Yulu Waterfall to the Zizi Waterfall. If I have the chance, I hope I can go again in the autumn~~
