The places that I have featured in my Aomori, Japan video are:
1. Oirase George: Oirase Gorge is a breathtaking natural wonder nestled in Aomori Prefecture, It's like stepping into a real-life fairytale! The gorge is famous for its stunning natural beauty. You will be alongside a crystal-clear stream called Oirase Stream, and the water is just so pure and clean. It flows over these cool-looking rocks covered in moss, creating this soothing and peaceful sound. The whole area is surrounded by these amazing green forests that make you feel like you're in another world. There are even these awesome waterfalls hidden in the trees, and you can cross these cool wooden bridges along the way. I have recorded a lot of footage in Oirase George - check it out!

2. Hotel Jogakura / Jogakura Bridge: Hotel Jogakura is nestled in the heart of nature, surrounded by lush forests and breathtaking mountain views. It's the perfect getaway for anyone seeking tranquility and relaxation. Jogakura Bridge is just 5 minutes drive from the hotel. It's a sight to behold! This magnificent suspension bridge stretches across the picturesque Jogakura Gorge, offering jaw-dropping views of the surrounding landscape.

3. Lake Towada: Lake Towada is a massive caldera lake formed by volcanic activity, and its serene waters are a sight to behold. The lake is nestled amidst lush forests and surrounded by towering mountains, creating a truly breathtaking landscape. The lake's surface often mirrors the vibrant colors of the changing seasons, with cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, fiery foliage in autumn, and a pristine snow-covered wonderland in winter.

4. A-Factory: A-Factory is a vibrant and lively complex that celebrates the region's famous produce, apples. It's an absolute treat for apple enthusiasts and food lovers alike. As soon as you step into A-Factory, you'll be greeted by the delightful aroma of freshly picked apples. The complex features various sections where you can immerse yourself in the world of apples. One of the highlights of A-Factory is the Apple Hall, a showcase of Aomori's apple industry. Here, you can sample a wide array of apple-based products, from mouthwatering apple pies and tarts to refreshing apple juices and ciders. The Apple Hall is a paradise for foodies, offering a chance to indulge in the delectable flavors of Aomori's apples. In addition to the culinary delights, A-Factory also houses shops where you can purchase apple-themed souvenirs, locally made apple products, and even fresh apples to take home.

5. Suiren Pond (Suiren Numa): Suiren Numa, a captivating natural wonder located in Aomori, Japan. Suiren Numa, also known as the "Water Lily Pond," is a mesmerizing wetland renowned for its stunning display of water lilies. During the summer months, the pond comes alive as vibrant water lilies bloom across its surface, creating a breathtaking scene. The delicate petals of the water lilies float gracefully on the calm waters, painting a picturesque image that seems almost surreal. The vivid colors and tranquil atmosphere make Suiren Numa a haven of serenity and natural beauty.

6. Jogoku Numa: Jigoku Numa, also known as "Hell's Pond," located in Aomori, Japan. Jigoku Numa is a volcanic lake situated within the caldera of Mount Osore, a dormant volcano. As you approach the lake, you'll be struck by its otherworldly appearance. The lake's surface is covered with a thick layer of steam, creating an eerie and mysterious atmosphere reminiscent of a scene from a fantasy movie. The bubbling hot springs and sulfurous gases that escape from the lake's depths contribute to the surreal ambiance.

Aomori is one of those places when in April/May you can see Sakura and also Ski. The perfect place for 2 seasons in one vacation. Hirosaki and Hakkoda.

[@SoftOceanBreeze]

I love this, out of all the places to visit in Japan, I'd love to visit Aomori after finding it on google earth, its paradise! Another place I would love to visit is Wakkanai :)

[@DokoDokoYT]

Actually i wanna visit Wakkanai too!😻

[@SoftOceanBreeze]

@@DokoDokoYT something about seeing Mt. Rishiri across the ocean and the prospect of taking a boat out to the island itself 🙂

[@SuperSckid]

Great video. What month in the winter was this video taken please? Thank you.

[@DokoDokoYT]

Thank you! Its April/May! If you are planning to go to Aomori, best time is Oct/Nov.

[@hexidecimalAFF0]

@@DokoDokoYT I'm going to Japan Next month, will visit Aomori again but in Autumn instead of Summer time.

Hopefully the oraise trail and mt hakkoda ropeway is accessible with public transportation during winter.

Aomori Apple 🍎 pie 🥧 is amazing. I recommend you check out A-Factory where they sell plenty of Apple pies which you can bring back as “omiyage”🎁

Great video, I am thinking of going to Japan and check out more of the rural areas, how hard was it to rent a car? and how was the driving experience?

[@joshuatan942]

It is easy to drive, note that Japanese don't follow the speed limit at all. 20 kmh above is normal. There are many car rental companies, Nissan /Toyota/ Nippon Rent a car.

[@Anne-op3gy]

Thank you for your vlog 😊 If you have a very limited time, which one should you choose? Oirase Gorge or Lake Towada?

[@DokoDokoYT]

Oirase for sure!

[@trevorgoh6472]

Great video! I plan to visit the region in early Sep, will check out some of these attractions. Btw without a car, are they easy to access?

[@DokoDokoYT]

I think September is a great time to go there. You will see a completely different scene! *Jealous* 🥹. Without a car its hard but not impossible. If you watch my full video you will see I have indicated the bus stops for all attractions. You just need to take note of the bus time table. Good luck and enjoy! 🥰

[@Ni-nm4fl]

Beautiful ..my bucket List. Which month was it taken?

[@DokoDokoYT]

Thanks! It was end of april :)

[@stevenzenos8436]

The scenery in this video is breathtaking. However, in the first few seconds, the video states this is all you need to watch to plan your trip to Aomori. I'm 6 minutes into the video. So far, it's mostly aerial views taken by a drone, which I'll never get to see from that perspective when I visit and an advertorial of the accommodation where your staying. I'd hardly describe the video as a usable travel plan. It did get better after the 6th minutes. However, I'm half way through and you're shown 3 or 4 attractions. Hardly, a comprehensive overview of what to see in Aomori. 0:10

[@DokoDokoYT]

Thanks for the feedback, I wish it was an advertorial. But please keep watching and by the end of the video you will indeed see most of what you need to see in Aomori :). Let me know if you have any questions i will be happy to help!

[@MaxTeo-l4c]

Nice video. When was this taken?

[@DokoDokoYT]

Thanks! April this year :)

[@MrJXLIM35]

Hi. Great video. Just wanna find out in your opinion, will you recommend the same itinerary for December travel?

[@DokoDokoYT]

I wouldn't recommend this itinerary for December. There will be just too much snow. If you want to ski, December is good. The best time to go here would be Early Oct-Nov.

[@shawnlee8669]

Heya, I'm planning my own trip to aomori / oirase. Logistical question here. Did u do all of the above in 1 day?

[@DokoDokoYT]

Hey! 👋 Oct/Nov would be a great time to visit Aomori. You can't do all in 1 day. At least keep 3-4 days. Enjoy 🥰

[@jeorgealjuncalpito9592]

How much was the rate of the hotel for a day? ❤

[@ArjunPandey]

Can visit in July?

[@DokoDokoYT]

You can, But Oct would be the best time. You probably won't see snow in july

[@ArjunPandey]

@@DokoDokoYT thank you!

May I know which month was this trip

[@Aloksunny007]

Which month did you visit?

We are going there in a few weeks - end of May. Will is still be so snowy - and why are so many people wearing masks?

Yes you can go in February! There are several bus services, you can check out their english website aomoritravelmap.com/en/index.php?c=scenic&m=detail&scenic_id=126

@@b3nny891 You are right sometimes they do stop the service. You have to check the website. However thats the peak season so i doubt that the service will be suspended

[@thingsareinmotion]

How were you allowed to fly drones here?

[@DokoDokoYT]

In order to fly your drone legally in Japan, you need to. register it with the authorities and pay a small fee. After that you can fly it anywhere as long as you stay within their guidelines

[@thingsareinmotion]

@@DokoDokoYT will never happen in okinawa :[ but thank you for the information! I will definitely give that a try next time I visit mainland.

[@bungfai2348]

Is flying drone legal in Japan?

[@DokoDokoYT]

Yes, but you have to register your drone in Japan. Takes about 7-10 days and you need to pay a small fee. You can do this online.

[@BuzzSargent]

Pretty nice show. I stopped watching because I got tired of reading as it takes so much away from the visual. Good luck.

[@DokoDokoYT]

Thats great feedback! I am trying to find a balance of text and visuals. Were you watching on your laptop, phone or tv if I may ask?

[@BuzzSargent]

@@DokoDokoYT Regular size laptop. Why not just talk so we can watch without reading ⁉️

[@darthdiddums845]

Not comprehensive at all...no Hirosaki Castle, no Sannai-Maruyama? No information regarding public transport, surely the City has something to offer? Fast forwarded throughout hoping to find something of interest for 'the rest of us'. Will be spending some time there late October this year, my first time travelling the Tohoku region, so looking forward to it. Thank you for the video though...😊
