This video covers day 27 & 28 of our Tokyo to Hokkaido road trip. In day 27, we head to Oirase Gorge from Lake Towada, checking out the rich nature trail and surrounding stores. We spend most of the day enjoying the trail, and finish out the day with a relaxing trip to the onsen. Dinner at the campfire ensued, and then we went to sleep. Day 28 afforded us even better views of the spectacular valley, as we hunted for waterfalls while we walked. We soon left the area and had dinner at a scenic roadside stop in Akita Prefecture. We strolled through Morioka, buying souvenirs and gifts, and then arrived a bit later at a hotel in Ichinoseki, where we’d shower and finish out the day.
If you enjoyed the video, don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe. Join me next time for our final day of the trip as we tour the many Buddhist temples in Hiraizumi, to then slowly head back home to Tokyo. Thank you for watching!
