Oirase Gorge, the beautiful mountain scenery of Aomori Prefecture, accompanied by the sound of the stream, walking on a slightly muddy path, chatting while walking, and watching the water scenery in the primeval forest!
Four different scenery in four seasons, very clear, play according to your needs!
Oirase Gorge is 14 kilometers long. There are walking trails, bicycle trails, and long roads, with complete facilities and you can play as you like.
Moreover, now is the best season.
Old men and women wearing jackets, leaning on trekking poles, carrying large cameras, walk along the creek. Young people with poor physical strength rent electric bicycles, kick their legs in the forest oxygen bar, and breathe fresh air.
I am a loser, driving by myself, getting off the car to take pictures.
The autumn of Oirase Gorge is yellow, the red leaves are not very red, but the yellow leaves are really yellow. The whole forest is shrouded in a warm yellow and golden color, and it feels warm. A crescent-white stream is the only cold color, clear and turbulent, passing through the forest.
Every time you walk a short distance, you will encounter a small waterfall, the kind of small waterfall that you will "tsk" in China.
But in Oirase, you will watch the stream jumping up and down in the mountains like Mario - it successfully passed this obstacle, Yoshi, beautiful! There is even a small waterfall trailing!!
If you can wrap up tightly, walk along the stream, take pictures along the way, and go back to the hotel to soak yourself in the hot spring at night, Oirase Stream is really comfortable. I can stay here for several days!
I heard that it is also very beautiful in June, and the whole forest has sprouted new leaves. My friend said that the color of the new green is so beautiful that I am speechless - "I can't describe it to you. Anyway, how can there be such green?!"
