Oirase Gorge
Located within Towada-Hachimantai National Park in Aomori Prefecture, Oirase Gorge is designated as both a Special Place of Scenic Beauty and a Natural Monument of Japan. Stretching about 14 kilometers, the gorge features lush forests and more than a dozen waterfalls. Well-maintained roads and walking paths run alongside the stream, with tree tunnels welcoming visitors throughout the year. In summer, Oirase is a popular retreat to escape the heat, offering a perfect setting for a stroll along the river surrounded by vibrant greenery. In autumn, it becomes a hidden gem for fall foliage, with colorful leaves lining both sides of the path, creating a stunning corridor of red, yellow, and green—a breathtaking view not to be missed.
Nakano Momiji Mountain
Renowned as one of Aomori’s premier autumn foliage spots, this mountain is famous for its fiery red maples planted over 200 years ago. Visitors can enjoy a scenic stroll across picturesque red bridges alongside a rushing river and waterfalls
-Hirosaki Castle Autumn Illumination
As evening falls, Hirosaki Castle Park transforms into a magical wonderland. Hundreds of vibrant maple and cherry trees are illuminated, casting a stunning, fiery glow against the historic castle walls. The most breathtaking view is the "water mirror" effect, where the glowing red and gold leaves reflect perfectly on the calm castle moats, creating an unforgettable, romantic autumn night.
