About this excursion

This tour combines Aomori’s most iconic highlights into a seamless one-day journey. Unlike standard sightseeing, you’ll experience Lake Towada not only from its lakeside town of Yasumiya but also on a cruise to Nenokuchi, the scenic gateway to Oirase Gorge. Traveling by private car allows you to cross Jogakura Bridge, Japan’s longest arch bridge, where breathtaking views unfold in every season. The adventure concludes with a ride on the Hakkoda Ropeway, soaring above vast forests and volcanic peaks. With curated stops and a focus on variety—lake, river, bridge, and mountain—this tour offers a truly balanced taste of Northern Japan’s natural beauty.
