A Perfect Blend of Nature and Art in Towada 🍃🎨

#hellohalloween Towada in Aomori Prefecture is one of those rare destinations where you can enjoy both the breathtaking beauty of nature and the creative energy of contemporary art—all in one trip. Start your day with a walk along the Oirase Gorge, a scenic river that flows out from Lake Towada. The sound of the rushing water, the moss-covered rocks, and the fresh forest air create an unforgettable experience for nature lovers. I found myself completely mesmerized by the powerful flow of the stream—it’s the kind of place you could visit in any season and still be amazed. After immersing yourself in nature, head to the Towada Art Center and its Art Square, where contemporary artworks are scattered across a wide open plaza. The best part? It’s a public space, so anyone can freely enjoy the installations. The colorful, playful pieces really stand out against the simple town backdrop, making it a fun spot for photos and reflection. Whether you’re here for the outdoor adventure or the creative atmosphere, Towada offers a peaceful yet inspiring escape from the city. 📍Towada City, Aomori #hiddenjapan #oirasegorge #towadaartcenter #natureandart #tohokutravel

If you’re craving that jaw-dropping autumn vibe, add Aomori to the top of your fall bucket list ASAP! The autumn colors here are absolutely next level — think red, orange, and yellow leaves lighting up the forests, valleys, and mountains like something out of a dream. The fiery maple trees around Lake Towada and Oirase Gorge are the real MVPs for leaf peeping. Stroll along the Oirase Gorge hiking trail (located near Towadako, Towada, Aomori, open 24/7) and prepare to be wowed by vibrant foliage and dramatic waterfalls. Or, head up to the Jogakura Ohashi Bridge (Jogakura Ohashi, Kuroishi, Aomori) for panoramic views that look unreal — especially with stunning clouds or a splash of sunshine for that perfect Insta snap. Bonus: In late October, Aomori’s apple orchards (like those near Hirosaki Park, Hirosaki, Aomori; open 9am–5pm) turn extra golden as harvest season kicks in, serving major cozy vibes and fresh local treats. The whole region seriously brings fall adventures to a new level. Come for the colors, stay for the epic nature scenes! 🍎🌄 Whether it’s a crisp sunny day or a rainy afternoon, Aomori in autumn will leave you speechless. And you can check out trip.com for the best deals on hotels and tours. Fall in love with autumn all over again in Aomori — your feed will thank you!#falladventures
