　　それほど大きな川ではありませんが、地面とほぼ同じ高さで流れているので親近感を感じます。　　また、小さな滝もあるし、川沿いに歩く事も出来ます。　青森から路線バスも走っていますし、渓流沿いや十和田湖湖畔にホテルもあります。 more »

十和田湖から太平洋まで流れる川です。途中が、奥入瀬渓流としてよく知られ、大変に難しい渓流を手軽に楽しむことができます。手軽なのは国道が平行しているからですが、残念ながら車が多く、観光シーズンには渋滞となるため、そこが難点です。渋滞さえなければ、完璧にきれいな眺めなんだけれど more »

It is a river which flows to the Pacific Ocean from Lake towada. You can enjoy very difficult mountain Oirase Gorge known along the way. From easy parallel to national highway, but unfortunately many cars to be congestion during the tourist season, there is a catch. If no traffic jams, perfectly clean Vista though

自家用車でしか行けませんが、渋滞しても都市周辺にくらべたらたいしたことはありません。５月の新緑も１０月の紅葉もお勧めです。周辺にはホテルが少ないので、八戸で泊まり食を楽しむことをお勧めします。 more »

You also can't only by private car traffic around the city quickly compensated. May and October leaves are recommended. It is recommended because hotels are rare in the area, enjoy the overnight food in Hachinohe.

Where to stay in Aomori

Aomori offers a range of accommodations following the shore of Aomore Bay, so you can easily match the location of your hotel with the things you want to do. The main street, Shinmachi, which starts at the train station, offers a range of hotels, with prices tending to decrease as you move away from the station. A number of budget hotels sit between the highway and the Arakawa River, and you can also find a group of hotels further away in Asamushionsen, next to the aquarium. Check out a few traditional "ryokan" (guesthouses) next to the railway stationl, or look for family-friendly hotels downtown.
