Private Aomori shore excursion with Oirase Gorge and Lake Towada

Kick off your private shore excursion with a handy pick-up straight from Aomori Port. You'll be whisked away in the comfort of your own private transport. Unlike larger group tours, there's no need to keep up with others, allowing you to savour each destination at your leisure.Venture into the striking natural landscapes of northern Aomori and pay a visit to Oirase Gorge, one of the region’s most acclaimed scenic spots. Traverse the roughly 14-kilometre mountain stream enveloped by dense woodland, crystal clear water, moss-draped rocks, and an abundance of waterfalls. Make the most of selected scenic stops and brief strolls along the gorge to fully appreciate its serene natural splendour.Next, journey through Nenokuchi, where the Oirase Stream converges with Lake Towada, and travel alongside the lake towards the Yasumiya area. At Lake Towada, take some time to unwind by the tranquil lakeshore and visit the renowned Statue of Maidens, the final masterpiece of esteemed Japanese sculptor and poet Kotaro Takamura.Continue your exploration through the forest to Towada Shrine, a historic shrine nestled on the Nakayama Peninsula. Surrounded by towering cedar trees, this shrine is steeply rooted in legends and spiritual traditions associated with Lake Towada. After immersively experiencing the forests, waterfalls, streams, and peaceful lakeside vistas of the Towada area, you'll be comfortably transported back to Aomori Port in good time for your ship’s departure.
