奥入瀬渓流

日本旅行推薦SP:四、奥入瀬渓流

綺麗な奥入瀬渓流へ再び行きたい!そう、今回は奥入瀬川の美に就いて紹介する!

This time, I shall introduce to you the charm and beauty of the Oirase Stream, located in the Towada-Hachimantai Park of Aomori Prefecture. Just thinking of it makes me want to go back there once again!

Do you still remember my earlier post on Yasumiya and Lake Towada? Water from the Lake Towada is drained off via a break in one side of the crater at Nenokuchi and down the valley, forming the Oirase Stream and the Oirase River Gorge.

A 9-kilometre long foot trail runs parallel to the Oirase Stream and tourists can choose to walk part or the whole distance of the trail from Nenokuchi to Yakeyama (14 km) and vice versa. The more popular part of the trail starts from Ishigedo and ends at Nenokuchi. This part of the trail will take about 2.5 hours to walk one way.
