Additional Information

Northern Japan is home to the Oirase Gorge, a sought after resort that showcases some of the country’s most spellbinding mountainous landscapes. Known for its renowned hiking route, we embarked on this journey in search of the quintessential Japanese experience.

The beauty of the winding gorge is accentuated by distinctive rock formations on either side, an engrossing river with frosty rapids, and a collection of 14 cascading waterfalls along its course. This ought to be your topmost priority if you find yourself in Aomori - a veritable paradise for nature enthusiasts.

Stretching approximately 2.5 kilometres (1.8 miles) in length, the gorge has a notably mild gradient, permitting a leisurely walk that takes roughly between 2-4 hours.

Do share your preferences for what you’d like to explore, and we will tailor a four-hour tour that perfectly aligns with your interests!
