The Oirase Gorge Stream runs about 14 km from Yakeyama in Towada City to Lake Towada.
In spring, it offers beautiful views of fresh green leaves, and in autumn, brilliant colors of fall foliage — a true highlight of the national park.
In winter, the stream is wrapped in snow, transforming into a world of silver.
The waterfalls scattered along it turn into frozen cascades and icicles, as if time had stopped.
This bus tour with a nature guide lets you explore the snowy Oirase Gorge during the day while learning about its formation and terrain, and at night, admire the illuminated, dreamlike frozen waterfalls and icicles.
