Japanese canyon

In the highlands spreading at the western foot of the Shirakami Mountains, there are various facilities such as a product hall and a restaurant where you can enjoy the elusive fish, Ito. Staying in a log cottage made of red pine from Lapland, Finland, with 2 meals included starting from 14,300 yen per night, while gazing at the starry sky is also a great option.

Beech forest at an altitude of 150-200m spread on the west side of the Shirakami Mountains. The 33 large and small lakes scattered in this are collectively referred to as the Twelve Lakes. It was created by the fact that the soft mountain collapsed and the water flow was dammed by a large earthquake, each of which has individual characteristics. The lake is surrounded by broad-leaved trees such as beech and mizunara, and during the time of fresh green or autumn leaves, it is possible to take a more pleasant walk. Aoike, which pours the dark blue water, is one of the top attractions in the course. I want to enjoy a mysterious landscape that changes the expression by the state of light.

A group of 33 lakes surrounded by beech forests at the western foot of the Shirakami Mountains. Named because 12 lakes can be seen from the large collapse of Mount Kuzure. The representative blue pond of the Twelve Lakes has a transparency that reaches the bottom of the lake at a depth of 9 meters, where you can see the remains of fallen beech trees in the mysterious ultramarine water. There is a walking course about an hour from the Kyororo product hall in the forest. Closed from December to the end of March (can be walked with a guide, inquiry required).
