Oirase Gorge
©AFLO
Flowing approximately 14 kilometers from Nenokuchi on Lake Towada to Yakeyama, Oirase Gorge has lush trees and several waterfalls, and the charming ever-changing flow, oddly shaped rocks, and beauty spots give rise to magnificent mountain stream scenery, allowing you to thoroughly enjoy the beauty of nature in all four seasons. Fresh greenery is visible from May to June, and the fall leaves start to change color in early October and are at their best from mid to late October.
