Top 22 things to do and attractions in Fukaura-machi

A must getaway on the journey of resort train. There is direct bus service from juniko station to lakes and back. There is a normal gap of 2 hours between to and fro bus , so you can easily travel and come back for next resort train.

Early Nov 2025. Nice walk with autumn trees and the lake view with autumn trees. Parking is at the tourist information center. 500yen per entry, pay when u leave. The two main lakes are within short walk from tourist center. The pathway is not concrete so expect muddy when raining.

Collection of 12 lakes with roads and hiking trails connecting them. The nature is serene but the existence of insects is a downer. Unless an avid hiker wanting to explore the shirakami sanchi UNESCO protected zone, visiting aoi lake is sufficient.

Very pretty lakes.

JR station where you need to prepare you ticket before you travel here, no staff at the station.

Honestly, this place feels quite overrated. Some of the so-called lakes are so small and shallow, they’re more like ponds. Out of 33 lakes, only about 12 are easily accessible by car. The rest require long walks to reach, which may not be ideal for everyone. Even the well-known Aoike (青池) is about 700 meters from the nearest carpark (¥500 per entry), and its beauty really depends on the sunlight. If it’s cloudy, it’s honestly not worth the trip. Plan accordingly if you’re thinking of visiting.

The day I visited this place is cloudy but the scene of the lakes is still nice and is still pop out from my brain. The color of the lakes is either blue and green and there water is so clear. Since it's in the mountain not much wind there and the water is still so that it reflect things like a mirror. The trail to the lakes is comfortable and at the same time you could enjoy a forest bath. There was not much people too but may be due to my late arrival.

(Translated by Google) Now, put on your helmet for safety and let's go! ️We started walking with a light feeling, saw a waterfall, and the road became narrower, starting a course that resembled a valley.💦There are some exciting and dangerous spots, but let's continue along the path! Don't just look down, but once in a while, feel the scenery around you and the negative ions! Zabuon at the waterfall ❕ I went around the beech forest course a lot. I took a walk. Shirakami Mountains✨power Thank you 😃 (Original) さあ、安全の為にヘルメットをかぶり、いざ出発‼️軽い気持ちで歩きはじめ、滝が見え、さらに道は狭くなり渓谷らしいコーススタート💦ワクワク危険箇所もありますが道はゆずり合い進みましょう！ 下ばかりではなく、たまには回りの景色やマイナスイオンを感じてくださいね！ 滝つぼでもざぶーん❕ 私はそのままブナ林コースを回り沢山 散策させて頂きました。白神山地✨power ありがとう😃

(Translated by Google) 2021.10.27 The beech trees grow thickly and the autumn leaves are very soothing. There is also a water fountain, so bring your own plastic bottle. It takes an hour to walk to the waterfall, and it costs 100 yen to wear a helmet. The rest house is not open. (Original) 2021.10.27 ブナの木が生い茂り紅葉しとても癒されます。 水汲み場もあるのでペットボトル持参。 滝までは徒歩1時間、ヘルメット着用100円。 レストハウスは営業していません。

(Translated by Google) As of May 5, 2017, you can only walk on the beech forest walking path (15 minutes per lap). There may be some snow or muddy areas, so we recommend wearing rain boots (rental available). The fresh greenery of the snow-covered beech forest and the katakuri flowers are beautiful. (Original) 2017年5月5日現在、ブナ林散策道（一周15分）のみ歩けます。 雪が残っていたり、ぬかるんでいるところもあるので、長靴（レンタルあり）着用がオススメです。 雪の残るブナ林の新緑とカタクリの花が美しいです。

(Translated by Google) Although it is not the season for autumn leaves, it feels good to be surrounded by nature. (Original) 紅葉の時期ではないですが自然豊富でいい気持ちです。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by during a trip. I got power! (Original) 旅行の際に立ち寄りました。 パワー頂きました！

(Translated by Google) In early September, I chose the World Heritage Mysterious Beech Forest Walking Course closest to Hirosaki and drove there. I actually wanted to go on the Juniko walking course, but considering my schedule, I chose this course. On that day, we were blessed with clear skies and few people, and we were able to enjoy forest bathing to our heart's content, and the virgin beech forest looked spectacular. There are places where you can drink river water along the way, so it's convenient to bring a water bottle or plastic bottle! The only regret I had was that the route to Anmon Falls was closed due to heavy rain the other day, so I couldn't go there. There were souvenir shops, restaurants, shops, and a bathhouse near the parking lot, which was convenient. (Original) 9月初旬弘前から一番近い世界遺産の怪ブナ林散策コースを選び車で行きました。本当は十二湖散策コースに行きたかったのですがスケジュールを考慮し当コースを選択。当日　晴天にも恵まれ人も少なく思い存分、森林浴を楽しめブナ原生林は見た目　圧巻でした。道中、川の水が飲める場所があり水筒かペットボトルを持参すると便利！ 残念だったのは先日からの大雨の影響で暗門の滝へのルートが通行止めになって行けなかったことくらいかな。 駐車場ちかくには土産屋、食事処、売店　浴場もあり便利でした。

(Translated by Google) The autumn leaves around the dam lake until you reach the beech forest walking path are spectacular, and here too, the entire area is covered in yellow to orange to brown leaves of mainly beech trees, Katsura, sawtooth oak, and Hou, making it look like a kaleidoscope. The walking path has a height difference of about 200 meters, and I walked around it slowly while listening to the tour guide, so it took about 90 minutes, and the distance was about 3 km. However, the road to the parking lot for the walking trail is very narrow and winding. (Original) ブナ林散策路へ行くまでのダム湖の周囲の紅葉も素晴らしいし、ここもブナ主体に桂・クヌギ・ホウなど黄色からオレンジ・茶色の黄葉で周囲一面覆われ万華鏡のよう。散策路は高低差200ｍ程度、ツアーのガイドさんの話を聞きながらゆっくり廻ったので９０分、距離にしたら３ｋｍ程度?。但し、散策路用の駐車場への道は非常に狭く、曲がりくねっている。

Good but don’t go there after raining. Your shoes will be dirty and full of mud.

I initially wasn't planning on coming here but the day before I met a videographer who told me about this lake and showed me photos. It was gorgeous and I had to see it for myself. The parking is ¥500 and plenty of spots, the lake was about 500m away from the parking lot. There is also a trekking route you can take around which I didn't as I was in a hurry. The water is so clear you can see fishes swimming inside. Beautiful. This could possibly be Sanji's All Blue. Hehe

5 Nov2025, after the first lake, you need to walk up some stairs to reach this lake. Due to the dropping leaves, the lake didn’t look as “reflective” as when it was clear. Wheelchair and prams are not suitable in this section as it is accessible only via stairs.

Honestly, this place feels quite overrated. Aoike (青池) is about 700 meters from the nearest carpark (¥500 per entry), and its beauty really depends on the sunlight. If it’s cloudy, it’s honestly not worth the trip. Plan accordingly if you’re thinking of visiting.

Parked the car nearest to Aoike, ¥500. Arrived in the afternoon and do not see many crowds. Many leaves floating around and difficult to see the colour from pictures, thought we still enjoyed ..

A simple 35-45Min hike. Not complex mostly flat terrain and some wooden steps. Very clean and well maintained. The store opposite the carpark area is great for a simple lunch bite and souvenir shopping.

Best 🌟 places to visit I really like this area. Recommend not only going for Aoike. It is also good for hiking to see how wonderful mountains are.

Nice small train station with a lot of souvenir and food.

(Translated by Google) It connects Akita↔Aomori, runs on the Ou Main Line and Gono Line, and moves along the Japan Sea Survey. It was voted by Japan as a sightseeing train that "must ride once in a lifetime". There are three trains with different appearances at the same time, "Beech", "Aoike", and "Bear Woodpecker". Even if they are the same train, the trains used will be different depending on the date. If you want to take it For trains with a specific appearance, or if you want to collect three different trains, you can refer to the Resort Shirakami official website to check the train schedule. Our trip today is taking the Resort Shirakami's "Water" train, the Gono Line in the direction of "Aomori Station → Twelve Lakes". Take a 5-minute rest while meeting the bus. Another scenic spot, "Senjojiki", takes a 15-minute break to allow passengers to get off the bus and take photos. This train takes about three hours. The equipment on the train is a bit old. There is no WiFi. There is only one plug in one car. The seats are very spacious and comfortable. However, there is only one toilet in the four cars of the entire shuttle train that is normal, and the other three toilets have stickers. Faulty seal, not romantic at all, so I deducted one star🌟 There is a shamisen performance about 20 minutes away, which can soothe and relax travelers on long journeys. (Original) 連接秋田↔青森，行駛奧羽本線、五能線，沿著日本海測前進，被日本票選為「一生一定要搭一次」的觀光列車。同時有三台不同外觀的列車，「橅（山毛櫸）」、「青池」、「くまげら(熊啄木鳥)」，即使是同樣車班，根據日期使用的列車也會不一樣，如有想要搭乘特定外觀的列車，或是想要蒐集三種不同列車，可以參考Resort 白神號官網查詢車班安排。 我們今天這次就是搭乘Resort白神號的「橅」編成列車，「青森站→十二湖」這個方向的五能線之旅程。中途會車休息5分鐘， 另一個景點「千畳敷」休息15分鐘，讓旅客下車拍照留念。 此列車車程約三個多小時，車上設備有些老舊，沒有WiFi,ㄧ列車廂只有一個插頭，座椅很寬敞舒適，但整列班車四節列車廂只有一間廁所正常，其他三間廁所貼故障封條，一點都不浪漫，所以扣了一顆星🌟 車程有20分鐘左右的三味弦表演，讓長途旅行的旅客得到舒緩、放鬆。

(Translated by Google) It is a station on the JR Gono Line, and is the closest station to Lake Juniko and Aoike, a popular tourist spot located in a corner of the World Heritage Site Shirakami-Sanchi. Aoike is about 5km from this station, and there are about 4 buses a day, and connections are being considered if the tourist train ``Resort Shirakami'' trains No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 arrive at this station from 10:00 to 1:00 p.m. There was a direct sales shop for locally produced food inside the station building, and they sold ``Aoike Soft Soft'' and ``Aoike Ice Cream,'' which are named after Aoike. There are coin lockers inside the station building, but they are few in number and only small in size. If you are bringing large luggage such as suitcases, it would be a good idea to use Poppo Chaya, located in front of the station, as they offer a luggage storage service for a fee. ■Accessibility: Approximately 2 hours from Akita Station, approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes from Hirosaki Station on the JR Gono Line/Resort Shirakami ■Note: *Suica cannot be used. (Original) JR五能線の駅で、世界遺産『白神山地』の一角にある人気の観光スポットの十二湖・青池への最寄り駅になっています。 青池まではこの駅から約5km、バスが1日4本ほど走っていて、10時～13時頃にこの駅に到着する観光列車『リゾートしらかみ』1号,2号,3号であれば接続が考慮されています。 駅舎内には地産の食べ物の直売所があり、青池にちなんだ『青池ソフト』や『青池アイス』が販売されていました。 コインロッカーは駅舎内にありますが、数は少なくサイズも小さなサイズのみでした。スーツケースなど大きい荷物を持ち込む場合、駅前にある「ぽっぽ茶屋」さんが有料で荷物を預かりサービスを行っているのでそちらを利用すると良いでしょう。 ■アクセス性：JR五能線・リゾートしらかみ号で秋田駅から約2時間、弘前駅から約3時間30分 ■補足：※Suicaは利用できません。

(Translated by Google) The station can be reached by taking the Gono Line. It has a beautiful environment with mountains behind and the sea in front. The station is small and beautiful with toilets, lockers, souvenir shops, and restaurants opposite. It is an important station for going to the Jujuko Lakes and the Blue Pond. (Original) 搭乘五能線可以到達的車站，背山面海環境優美，車站小而美有廁所、置物櫃、紀念品店，對面也有餐廳可以用餐。是前往十二湖和青池重要的車站。

(Translated by Google) (Visited in August 2024) It is really a place that is extremely difficult to reach. It takes more than two hours to get down to Akita, and at least more than three hours to get up to Aomori. I sincerely recommend coming here if you have enough time. If you are not traveling with a tour group, you will be stuck on the mountain or here by bus and train. Especially after arriving at the Okujujuko parking lot, climbing up just to see the Blue Pond may not take more than 20 minutes (). Walking down directly by road would be too long, so you have to keep waiting for the bus. Fortunately, there are lockers, agricultural product center and ice cream at the station, so it’s not too boring, and there are many people waiting for the bus together, so I’m not lonely. (Original) （2024/8月造訪）真的是超級無敵難抵達的地方，下至秋田要兩個多小時，往上到青森至少也要三個多小時起跳。 真心建議時間很夠再來，如果不是跟團的話會被公車和列車時間卡在山上或這裡，尤其到達奧十二湖停車場後爬上去只看青池，可能沒有花二十分鐘（）直接走公路下來又怕太久，只好一直在等車。 幸好車站有置物櫃、農產中心和冰淇淋，不至於太無聊，一起等車的人也不少不孤單。

(Translated by Google) A small but beautiful station. Lockers are available for luggage storage. The bus to the Blue Pond is across from the station. (August 28, 2025) (Original) 小而美的車站。有置物櫃可寄放行李。前往青池的公車在車站的對面搭乘。（2025/08/28）

(Translated by Google) After boarding the train at JR Mutsu Tsuruta Station, you will go all the way to JR Jujuko Station. The scenery along this coastline is really amazing. Due to the rocky terrain, there are many boulders that have been weathered and eroded by the sea. This natural landscape will give you a lot of expectations when you take the train along the coastline, because you don’t know how the next eye-catching natural rock or beautiful scenery will appear. In addition, if you take the Risotto Rakami No. 2 train, it will stop at two adjacent stations. The longest stop at JR Senjojiki Station is about 15 minutes, which allows passengers to exit the station and take photos on the rocks of the Senjojiki coast. The other station, JR Fukaura Station, has enough time to take photos on the platform. No wonder the Gono Line is listed as a designated route that must be experienced. We walked across the street from JR Jūjiko Station to the bus stop opposite and took the Konan Bus Jūjiko Line to Okujūjiko Park (Aoike) Station and enjoyed a light meal at Mori no Bussankan Kiroro. (Original) 由「JR陸奧鶴田駅」上車後一路坐到「JR十二湖駅」，以風景而言這段海岸線真的沒話說，因為岩岸地形關係有許多經過風化與海水侵蝕的巨石，這種自然景觀在乘坐著列車沿著海岸線前行時會有著許多的期待，因為不知道下一個吸睛的天然岩石或美景會是如何呈現。 此外若是搭乘リゾートしらかみ２号列車時會在兩個相鄰車站進行停留，「JR千畳敷駅」停留最久約15分鐘可以供旅客出站在千畳敷海岸岩石上拍照留念，另一站「JR深浦駅」時間大概足夠在月台拍照留念，難怪五能線被列為一定要來體驗的指定路線。 我們在「JR十二湖駅」車後通過馬路前往對面巴士站牌搭乘弘南バス十二湖線前往「奧十二湖駐車場（青池）站」並在森の物産館キョロロ享用簡餐。

Very different to the East coast. Travelled through here before but spent a lot more time exploring this time. Great little fishing ports and incredible rock formations.

The downside is that it’s too far away with inconvenient transportation, and there’s nothing else around. You can finish looking around in about half an hour. The photos were taken with a Samsung S25 Ultra.

While taking the Gono line on the Resort Shirakami Train, we stopped at this spot for about 15-20 minutes as part of the trip. Gorgeous views and great spots for some quick photos.

stopped at senjojiki on 29.10.2023. underwhelming la… saw a gono training passing the train line run right by the coastal road 101 disappointing quite anti climax oiwa better

Really beautiful sunset stop if you are driving. Enjoy climbing around the rocks and taking pictures of the water splashing out a fissure in them.

Worth stopping to take a look if you are passing by. Very interesting/unusual green rocks, and rock pools full of sea creatures. We saw crabs, sea slugs, hermit crabs, little fish etc. Quite fun jumping and climbing around. You can also get ramen, ice cream etc at the small restaurant inside the shop.

cool experience with the family, BBQ, played in the water, and walked along rock, to see amazing sunset.

A very educational experience and has its own sets of real / preserved samples of leaves and cocoons. Highly recommended if you’re into environmental studies and conservation

Very nice lake views nearby in Autumn.

There are only portable restrooms here.

WS closed due to covid

Very good !I like here.

great!

(Translated by Google) The water in Aonuma is incredibly clear! It was truly blue and beautiful. We only took a short 90-minute stroll, but it was filled with greenery and was very satisfying. (Original) 青沼の水の透明度がすごい！ 本当に青くて綺麗でした。 90分の短いコースを散策しましたが緑がいっぱいで満足度高いです。

A simple 30 min hike. Easy and natural tranquility!

Definitely wort a visit..our was very helpful and friendly. .

Best place ever, quiet and beautiful.

Worth a visit

A very beautiful lake!

(Translated by Google) I went there during the three-day weekend in July. It was about a 10-minute walk from the parking lot to Aoike Pond, and then about a 20-minute walk from there to Wakutsubo Pond behind it. Aoike Pond is famous, but a person living in Aomori advised me that it's not that far away so I should definitely see Wakutsubo Pond, so I went there. There were fewer visitors than Aoike Pond, so it was easy to take photos and it was very peaceful. I'd like to go again! (Original) 7月の三連休に行きました。 駐車場から歩いて10分くらいで青池につき、青池からその奥にある沸壺の池まで20分くらい歩きました。青池が有名ですが、そんなに遠くないので沸壺まで絶対見た方がいいと青森在住の方からアドバイスがあり行きました。青池よりお客さんは少ないので写真も撮りやすく、とても安らぎました。また行きたいです！

(Translated by Google) The famous Blue Pond is 9 metres deep, and only looks beautiful when the sun is directly overhead at noon. My recommendation is Fukatsubo Pond, which is just a short walk from the parking lot. This pond is only 3 metres deep, so you can see the beautiful emerald green pond even when the sun isn't directly overhead. If you're coming to see Blue Pond, be sure to visit this spot as well. There are fewer tourists, so you can take your time looking around. To get there, you can either walk straight into the mountains from the Blue Pond for 10 to 20 minutes, or you can return to the parking lot, take a break, and then walk a short distance along the road from the parking lot before heading into the mountains for about 10 minutes. (Original) 有名な青池は水深が9メートルもあり、正午の太陽が真上にないときれいには見えません。 自分のオススメは駐車場から歩いて、すぐの沸壺の池。こちらは、水深が3メートルと浅いので、太陽が真上にない時間帯でもきれいなエメラルドグリーンの池を見ることができます。 青池を見に来る際には、ぜひこちらも訪れてみてください。観光客も少なくてゆっくり見れますよ。 行き方は青い池からそのまま山の中を10分から20分歩く方法と、一旦駐車場に戻り、休憩してから駐車場から車道を少し歩いてから山に入り10分位のところにあります。

(Translated by Google) 2025.6.9 I made a round trip on the Mt. Mate route. The view of Mt. Iwaki, Mt. Hakkoda, and the Sea of ​​Japan from the summit is amazing! There is a shelter, toilet, and benches near the summit! Personally, this is my favorite mountain in Aomori Prefecture⛰ (Original) 2025.6.9 マテ山ルート往復した。 山頂から岩木山や八甲田山、日本海の眺望が素晴らしい！ 山頂付近には避難小屋、トイレ、ベンチがあり！ 個人的には青森県で1番お気に入り山ですね⛰

(Translated by Google) I climbed from Shirakamidake Tozanguchi Station on the Gono Line. The sunset over the Sea of ​​Japan was so beautiful that I almost cried. There is also a nice evacuation hut, toilets, and water source. I was grateful for the opportunity to use it. (Original) 五能線の白神岳登山口駅から登りました。 日本海に沈む夕日がとても美しくて、涙出そうでした。 立派な避難小屋とトイレ、水場もあり、 ありがたく利用させていただきました。

(Translated by Google) Climbing on July 8th I climbed Mate Mt. course. It's a very long course. You can see Mt. Iwaki from Mt. Shirakami. When I reached the top and saw a beautiful view, I felt a real sense of accomplishment. (Original) 7月8日登山 マテ山コースで登りました。大変長いコースです。白神岳から岩木山が見えます。 登り切って綺麗な景色見えて本当に達成感満杯です。

(Translated by Google) I counted more than 30 summits and a traverse in the direction of Aoike Juniko.The nearby Mt. Mase and Futsumori are also in the same mountain range and are relatively well-organized and enjoyable routes. Even if you leave Oga City in the morning, you can take a day trip to Mt. Shirakami and enjoy the hot springs. However, no matter what time of year it is best to start climbing around 8 o'clock at the latest. I don't think there are many people who take the two-way route, but the road from the fork to the crossing and direct climb is gentle, narrow and scary in many places, and even the summer route can be a little stressful. On the other hand, it's easier to use crampons when it's snowing. Well, I don't think there are many people who go there, but I don't really recommend going from spring to autumn because it's not a pleasant ridgeline walk as you just have to look up and walk through the trees. But winter is a route. However, if you take the wrong stream on your way back, you may get lost or dangerous. The general Mt. Yasuyama route continues in a zigzag pattern, with the best views at the top of the ridge. Fun for all seasons. There is a mountain hut where you can rest and a space where you can rest. The wind from the Sea of ​​Japan side is often strong, but when it's calm, you can enjoy a relaxing meal and coffee using the fire upstairs. The best. Once again, when there is still snow or when there is gas, you may get lost even when you think you have climbed many times and are familiar with the mountain. Sometimes I decide that if I get off here, I'll go along the stream and end up in a different place. So, a map and compass are still important! Speaking from experience, I once failed while absentmindedly following a trace. If you're not careful, you'll be in trouble. But I still like the mountain because it feels good. You can see Mt. Ohira, Oga Peninsula, Mt. Iwaki, and if the weather is good, Mt. Chokai. (Original) 数えると３０回以上の登頂と青池十二湖方向への縦走　近くの真瀬岳、二ッ森も同じ山域で比較的整っていて楽しいルート。 白神岳は男鹿市から朝出発しても日帰りで温泉も入ってゆっくり楽しめる。でもどの時期も登り出しが遅くても８時くらいが良い。 二股コースを進む方は少ないと思うけど、分岐から渡渉・直登まで続く道は緩くも道幅狭くこわく感じるところも多く、夏道も少しストレス感じる。逆に雪のついている時期の方がアイゼンでサクサクいける。 ま、滅多に行く方いないと思うけど、直登もひたすら上を見ながら木々の中をいく感じで気持ちのいい稜線歩きとかではないので、春～秋のシーズンはあまりおすすめできない。でも冬はルートとしてはあり。 ただし、帰りは沢を間違えると迷ったり危ない。 一般の蟶山ルートはジグザグ続く、稜線に出るあたりの見晴らしは最高。オールシーズン楽しい。上は休める山小屋も休めるスペースもある。 日本海側からの風が強い事が多いが静かな時は上で火を使ってゆっくりごはん＆珈琲タイム。最高。 もう一度書くが、残雪期やガスっている時は、何度も登っていて熟知しているはず、と思っているところでも　迷う事はあるもので、 ここを降りれば、と判断した沢筋を行って違ったところに出ることもある。で、やはり地図とコンパスは大事だ！ 経験談だけど、ぼーっとトレースを追っていて失敗した事がある。 やー気を付けないと下手すると遭難扱いです。 でもやっぱり気持ちがよくて好きな山。 大平山、男鹿半島、岩木山、天候が良ければ鳥海山も望める。

(Translated by Google) I went back and forth on Mateyama course. There is a toilet near the top of the mountain, but I wonder if it is a bio-style toilet? ? Don't flush toilet paper, take it home with you. (Original) マテ山コースで往復しました 山頂付近にはトイレありますが、バイオ式なのかな？？トイレットペーパーなどは流さず持ち帰りです

(Translated by Google) For some reason, I chose the two-way course and it was really tough. The footing is very poor, so you have to be careful with every step you take, and there are many places where you have to walk on untracked roads. I wanted to turn back many times along the way, but it was just as hard to turn back, so I persevered until I reached the top. Near the top of the mountain, the scenery suddenly opened up and was beautiful, but to be honest, I probably didn't have time to enjoy it. On the way back, I took the Mt. Mate course, so I was able to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace. There was a point in the middle of the two-way course where the rope seemed to be breaking, and to be honest, there were many places where you couldn't climb without a rope, so you had to rely on the rope quite a bit, so I was horrified. Contact the management office. We cross three streams, but when we crossed the third stream, we couldn't find any landmarks. We searched for a while, but we found it difficult to find. If you want to climb a mountain while enjoying the scenery, we recommend the Mateyama course. If you want to overcome yourself mentally or train yourself, try the Futari course. (Original) 何を思ったか二股コースを選択してしまい めっちゃしんどかったです。 足場が非常に悪く 一歩一歩気を遣うし 道なき道を行く場所も多々 。 途中で何度も引き返したくなりましたが 引き返す のも同じぐらい大変なので、 頂上まで頑張りました 。山頂に近いところでは 景色が急に開けて 美しいですが 楽しむ余裕も 正直なかったかも。 帰りは マテ山コースで帰ったので 緩やかに景色を楽しむことができました。 二股コースの 途中でロープが切れそうになっているところがあって、 正直ロープがないと登れないところもたくさんあって かなりロープに頼る感じになるので、1ぞっとしました。 管理局に連絡します。三つの沢を越えて行きますが、 三つめの沢 を渡りきったところで 目印が見当たらなくなり しばらく探すとありましたが 分かりづらいと思います。 景色を楽しみながら山登りをしたいなら マテ山コースがおすすめです。 精神的に 自分を乗り越えたいとか 鍛錬をしたいとかだったら 二股コースを どうぞ。

(Translated by Google) There is a Mateyama course and a shortcut course. There are plenty of water sources up to those branches, which is helpful. The Mate Mt. course takes longer but is easier to walk. It would be better not to take the shortcut course as there are some bushes. In any case, you will be climbing more than 1200m from near the sea, The distance is long and there's no view, so it's tough. There are some steep climbs, and there is no wind. I climbed the mountain in the summer of August, and my shoes were soaked with sweat. Still, the quiet view from the beech grove and ridgeline is wonderful. Furthermore, even on the Mate Mt. course, there is no view of Mt. Mate itself, so It is better to take the fork in the fork in the direction of Mt. Shirakami. (Original) 蟶山(マテ山 )コースとショートカットコースがあり、 それらの分岐までは結構水場があるので助かる。 マテ山コースの方が時間はかかるが歩きやすい。 ショートカットコースは藪もありやめた方がよさそう。 いずれにしろ、海の近くから1200m以上登るし、 距離も長く、眺望もないので、以外としんどい。 急登もあるし、風も受けられない。 8月の夏場に登ったが汗で靴までびしょびしょになった。 それでも、ブナの木立と稜線に出てからの静かな眺めは素晴らしい。 なお、マテ山コースでも、マテ山自身は眺望もないので、 手前の分岐で白神岳方面に進んだ方がよい。

(Translated by Google) Lake Juniko is not included in the World Natural Heritage Register, but it is a forest where you can experience the Shirakami Mountain Range, a World Natural Heritage Site. There are trails that allow you to take a walk or trek while touring the pond, and you can combine your walks to suit your physical strength and purpose. From the pond near each parking lot and the Kotouba pond to Aoike and the natural beech forest area, there is a well-maintained promenade that is suitable even for casual shoes. The trekking trail that goes around a pond deep in the forest has gentle ups and downs, but it's a mountain path, so you'll need to wear light trekking shoes. Although most of the attention is focused on the ponds, including Aoike, please enjoy the charm of the forest that is unique to the Shirakami Mountains, a World Natural Heritage Site. You can see giant beech trees that are about 300 years old and ancient Katsura trees that have an overwhelming presence. (Original) 十二湖は世界自然遺産登録地域には含まれていませんが、世界自然遺産白神山地の様相を体験できる森です。池巡りしながら散策やトレッキングできるトレイルが整備され、体力や目的に合わせて組み合わせ歩くことができます。各駐車場から近い池と鶏頭場の池から青池を経てブナ自然林辺りまでは、カジュアルシューズ程度でも大丈夫なくらい整備された遊歩道です。森の奥の池を巡るトレッキングトレイルはアップダウンが緩いですが山道なので、軽トレッキングシューズ程度の足ごしらえは必要です。青池を含め池にばかり注目されますが、世界自然遺産白神山地ならではの樹林の魅力を味わってください。樹齢およそ300年のブナの巨木や、圧倒的な存在感があるカツラの古木が見られます。

(Translated by Google) I visited during Golden Week...♪*ﾟ I was able to take a quick walk in just an hour and it felt great! (Original) GWに訪れました...♪*ﾟ 小一時間で軽く散策できて、とても気持ち良かったです！

(Translated by Google) It was more mysterious than Aoike in Hokkaido, Okinawa, or Germany, and the water was beautiful! It's a little far, but please go. (Original) 北海道、沖縄、ドイツの青池よりとても神秘的で水も綺麗で最高でした！ 少し遠いですが是非ぜひ行って下さい。

(Translated by Google) Everyone is misunderstanding the reason for the one star. This pinpoint is a recreational forest, not a blue pond, a hot pot pond, or a natural beech forest trail. It's in a thicket where you can't tell where the road is unless you look closely, like a beast trail. There are few direction signs, it takes a long time to find your location using Google Maps, and if you sprain your leg or get injured in the bear-infested forest, no one will come to help you. It is better to stop posting about Aoike with this pinpoint. (Original) 星一つの理由は皆さま勘違いしてます。 このピンポイントは休養林であって、青池でもなく、沸壺の池でもない、ブナの自然林歩道でもありません。 獣道のようなよく見ないとどこが道かわからない雑木林の中です。 方向標識も少なくGoogle MAPも自分の居場所検索に時間が掛かり、熊出没するかもの林の中で足など捻挫したりなど怪我したら本当に誰も助けに来ない場所です。 このピンポイントで青池の投稿はやめた方がいいです。

(Translated by Google) I was actually thinking of running along a forest road while looking at Lake Miyama and the Mother Tree, but it seemed like such a dangerous road that I got bored. The Juniko Natural Recreation Forest, which includes Aoike, may be better suited for trekking from Juniko Station rather than driving. It's best to take your time and get in touch with nature. This time, there were a lot of fallen leaves in Aoike, so I couldn't enjoy the clear blue surface of the lake. A little disappointing. If you go, it might be best to go during the fresh green season when there are few fallen leaves, or conversely, during the autumn leaves to admire the beautiful fallen leaves falling to the water surface. (Original) 本当は美山湖や、マザーツリーを見ながら、林道を走ろうかと考えていましたが、あまりにもけわしいみちのようでだんねんしました。 青池を含む一二湖自然休養林はドライブよりも十二湖駅からのトレッキングなどに向いているのかもしれません。ゆっくりと時間をかけて自然に触れ合うのが良いでしょう。今回、青池には落ち葉が多くあり、青く透明な湖面を堪能できませんでした。少し残念。行くならば、落ち葉の少ない新緑の時期か、逆に紅葉で綺麗な落ち葉が水面に落ちる様子を愛でるのが良いかもしれませんね。

(Translated by Google) 2019,10 We entered the mountain from the entrance of the nature observation trail that leads to the summit of Mt. Tayumine in the Shirakami Mountain Range, and arrived at the summit of Mt. Tayumine. From the summit, you can clearly see Mt. Iwaki, its black silhouette rising above the clouds, to the northeast, and Mt. Mt. Mt. Mukaishirakami, colored with autumn leaves, to the south. After taking a breather while admiring the beautiful scenery, we stepped into the thick bushes blocking the old mountain trail leading south, and headed for the right-angled peak in front of us. We made our way through bent bamboo that was thicker than an index finger, and climbed over shrubs with thick branches that stretched out in all directions as if they were crawling on the ground, until we reached the right angle peak. The view of Mukai Shirakamidake seen from the peak of the right angle peak is beautiful, but it is even more rugged, and now that the traverse route has disappeared into this thicket of thickets, you can see why it is said to be extremely difficult to traverse. The rowing through the bushes was more difficult than I had expected, and I was feeling anxious about what was to come. From there, I continued onward to Mt. Yoshigamine, which was further west, through a thicket of thick bent-root bamboo and shrubs, and when I arrived, I headed to Mt. Mukaishirakamidake, where I should continue. On the ridgeline to the south, I could see several peaks, and although I would of course continue walking through the thicket, passing over many peaks, I was starting to worry whether I would be able to conserve my stamina for the return trip. To make matters worse, the weather is expected to go downhill from today, with strong winds and rain expected tomorrow evening, with wind speeds of around 20m/s expected. Should I go back? As I looked at the path and thought about it for a while, I remembered that the day before I had carefully prepared my mountain climbing plan, even in bad weather, and prepared food and equipment, so I regained my composure and decided to descend along the ridgeline to the first valley. And so. Pushing aside bent-root bamboo that is taller than a person, and sometimes climbing over thick shrub branches and sometimes passing under them, we continue down the long, steep slope, and when we reach the col, we continue to climb. The Shirakami Mountain Range, untouched by humans, is an unimaginably dense forest, and when I removed the ridge line to avoid the shrubs with thick branches extending in all directions that appeared one after another on the narrow ridge line, I found curved roots of bamboo. The bushes collided at right angles to the flowing direction, and it was impossible to push them away, so I had no choice but to continue along the ridgeline, but the thicker the bushes became, the more I went, I could barely walk properly. Unable to do so, he is forced to balance himself over the branches of thick shrubs that appear one after another and block his path, sometimes passing through them, and sometimes even forcing him to crawl forward. Both of his wrists were already bruised and bleeding, and Mitsuyabu mercilessly slapped his face and stabbed him through the gaps and air vents in his helmet. I have never experienced such a bad thicket in the past, but the extremely difficult and irreplaceable situation continues on and on. After walking for a while, a rocky area appeared, and the path turned into a cliff, so I had no choice but to use my limbs to climb up the nearby rocky area, but there was a ridge that was fragile and easily crumbled, and beyond that, there was a cliff. I could see a steep cliff with shrubs clinging to it, but apparently there was no route around it as far as I could see, and I was unintentionally straining my tired body, knowing that if I took a wrong step, there would definitely be serious consequences. We carefully walked along the fragile quillet-shaped ridge that beckoned, and then climbed up the sheer cliff ahead, using our limbs to maintain our balance. On the return trip, I left feeling a little uneasy as I would have to walk a tightrope in strong winds, and then I started to row through the bushes again, with no clear future in sight. We continued through the dense bush for a while, feeling increasingly fatigued, and when we climbed onto a branch of a shrub to check our path...the summit of Mt. Mukai Shirakamidake was visible a few hundred meters away. Before I knew it, I had continued onward without taking much of a break, and when I finally saw the summit of Mt. Mukai Shirakamidake, I was filled with emotion and joy, and my tired body was filled with strength. If I try a little harder... He continued to move forward, but was still hampered by bent bamboo and branches of shrubs blocking his path, and the distance did not close easily.After a while, he finally reached the final slope to the summit, climbed the slope in one go, and reached the summit. reached. I couldn't help but throw my hands up in the air and let out a cheer. At the top of the mountain, the sun is shining slightly to the west under a light blue sky, and a gentle breeze is blowing through. In addition, from the top of the mountain, where you can see no traces of humans other than the stone marking the triangulation point, you can see the beautiful Shirakami Mountain Range colored with autumn leaves and the endless mountains beyond. It makes you feel that you have arrived at the core of a world natural heritage site deep in the mountains. The feeling of reaching the top of the mountain, where the god of the Shirakami Mountains resides despite having to trek through a very difficult mountain, was deeply moving. I left the scene, feeling repulsed by the fact that time was rapidly approaching. (Original) 2019,10 白神山地にある太夫峰山頂へと続く自然観察歩道の入口より入山し、太夫峰山頂に到着した。 山頂からは、北東側には雲の上にポッカリと黒いシルエットを浮かばせる岩木山、南側には紅葉で彩られた向白神岳の険しい連なりがハッキリと見える。 美しい景色を眺めながら一息ついた後、南側へと続く旧登山道を塞ぐ猛烈な藪に足を踏み入れ、先ずは目の前の直角峰を目指す。 人差し指より太い根曲がり竹を掻き分け、地を這うような太い枝を四方八方に延ばした灌木を乗り越えつつ直角峰に到着した。 直角峰のピークから見える向白神岳の景観は美しくも一層険しく、縦走路がこの猛烈な藪の中に消えた今となっては、踏破が非常に困難だと言われる意味を実感できる。 予想以上の困難な藪漕ぎに、この先の不安を感じつつ、そこから更に西にある吉ヶ峰へと相変わらず太い根曲がり竹と灌木の藪の中を進み続け到着すると、これから進むべき向白神岳へと続く南側の稜線上には、幾つものピークが確認でき、この先もこの密藪の中を幾つものピークを越えつつ歩き続ける事は勿論だが、果たして復路までの体力を温存できるのか不安が深まる。 更に悪い事には、今日これからの天気は下り坂であり、明日の夕方には風雨が強まり、風速20m/s程の悪天が予想されている。 やはり戻るべきか…。 暫く行く手を眺めながら考えていると、前日までに悪天も含めた登山計画と食料や装備を周到に準備した事を思い出し、気を取り直し、先ずは稜線上を最初の谷へと降下する事とした。 人の背丈以上の根曲がり竹を押し退けつつ、太い灌木の枝を時には乗り越え、また時にはくぐり抜けながら、長く急な斜面を下り続け、コルに到着すると、今度は登りが続く。 人の手が入らない白神山地は、想像を絶する密藪であり、狭い稜線上に次から次へと現れる四方八方に太い枝を延ばした灌木を避ける為に稜線を外すと、根曲がり竹が倒れている流れ方向に対して直角にぶつかる事となり、とても押し退けては行けない為、仕方なく稜線を外さないように進むが、進む程に藪の濃さは増し、殆どまともに歩行する事ができず、次から次へと現れては行く手を塞ぐ太い灌木の枝の上を、バランスをとりながら伝い、時にはくぐり抜け、時にはほふく前進まで強いられる。 既に両手首は傷だらけで血が滲み、密藪は容赦なく顔を叩き、ヘルメットの隙間やエア抜きからも突き刺してくる。 これ程の酷い藪は過去に経験が無いが、非常に困難な代わり映えしない状況は、延々と続く。 やや暫く進むと岩場が現れ、行く手が崖となった為、仕方なく四肢を使い近くの岩場をよじ登ると、そこには脆く崩れやすいキレット状の尾根が続いており、更にその先の行く手には灌木が張り付いた切り立った崖が見えるが、どうやら見渡す限りここを避けて通るルートは無いようであり、意図せず疲れた体に緊張を強いられつつ、足を踏み外せば間違いなく重大な結果を招くキレット状の脆い尾根を慎重に進み、更にその先の切り立った崖を四肢を使いつつバランスをとりながらよじ登る。 復路では、強風を受けながらの綱渡りになるであろうことに一抹の不安を感じつつその場を後にすると、またもや先の見えない猛烈な藪こぎが始まる。 疲労を重ねつつ暫く密藪を進み、行く手を確認する為に灌木の枝に登ると…向白神岳の山頂が数百メートル先に見える。 気がつけば、殆ど休憩らしい休憩もせずに進み続け、やっと見えた向白神岳山頂を目の前に感動と喜びが込み上げ、疲労した体に力が湧いてくる。 あと少し頑張れば…。 更に前進を続けるが、相変わらず根曲がり竹と行く手を塞ぐ灌木の枝に邪魔され、なかなか距離は縮まらず、暫くして漸く山頂への最後の斜面へと辿り着き、その斜面を一気に登り詰め、山頂へと到達した。 思わず両手を空にかざし、歓声をあげる。 山頂では、水色の空の下、やや西に傾いた太陽の光が降り注ぎ、穏やかな風が吹き抜けている。 また、三角点を示す標石以外に人の痕跡が全く感じられない視界が開けた山頂からは、紅葉で彩られた美しい白神山地と、その先にも何処までも続く山々の姿が見え、山奥深い世界自然遺産の核心部に辿り着いた事を実感させてくれる。 非常に困難な山行を強いられつつ白神山地の神が宿るであろう頂きに辿り着いた感動はひとしおであり、恐らく無雪期には二度と来ないこの場所から見える景色をしっかりと目に焼き付け、刻一刻と時間が迫る状況に後ろ髪を引かれる思いで、その場を後にした。

Worth the hike to see the Japan's Grand Canyon. About 800m walk takes about 20 mins hike up. Decent amount of steps but not too much. You will definitely be sweating by the time you get there. Worth the 45 min stop to go check out this beauty in Northern Japan. Highly recommend the hike and view. The hike also leads you the a lake but we did not go that route.

Accessible canyon. Easy stop on a road trip. Reminds you why you travel. 風

Impressive cliff face view, accessible from up the road from where the location pin is.

Medium easy walk, uphill a bit.

Not sure why they give such a nice name to this place, there is nothing grand about it and basically nothing to see.

(Translated by Google) There is a parking lot and a toilet at the bus stop of Nippon Canyon. There is an entrance next to the toilet, and it is a round trip hike of about 40 minutes (depending on your walking speed). The footing is good, but you should wear sturdy shoes. Frankly, this is what it's like😩 I saw a video that showed you could go down, but maybe that was better🤔 It's okay if you go around by bus and take a look while hiking.

(Translated by Google) We entered from the Canyon Entrance Parking Lot on the way to Aoike Pond. There is a parking lot that can only accommodate about four cars and a clean restroom. After climbing about 800m, you can enjoy a spectacular view from the observation deck. The mountain path is well maintained, but there are some muddy sections, so we recommend wearing trekking shoes. Since it is not a major trail, it is often empty and you can enjoy trekking in the Shirakami-Sanchi. However, there is a possibility of encountering bears, so we brought bells and bear spray with us...

This is a cool little shrine along the coastline. It's not too far out of the way, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have time to spare. The shrine itself is a small modern structure, not much to look at. But the walk out to the small island on the path between the rocks and sea is beautiful. Overall, my visit didn't stand out to me that much.

Beautiful Buddhist temple in a small town.

On the left hand side, Benzaiten and Konpira Daigongen are enshrined. Facing Kannon-do, to the right of the stone steps is Yakushi-do. This is a Shugendo-related prayer temple with no Buddhist monks, and it seems to have been especially worshiped by the Hirosaki feudal lord and Kitamaebune-related people. From Hirosaki, it's about a 3-hour round trip on the downhill road to the wooden bridge. The weather is also not good, so I'm a little disappointed.

(Translated by Google) Photography is prohibited inside the facility, so I don't have any pictures of the inside, but if you visit this temple related to Kitamaebune, I highly recommend you listen to the explanation given by the chief priest's daughter. We didn't have much time, so we only stayed for about 40 minutes, but if possible, I think it's better to spend at least an hour listening to the explanation. It is an ancient temple that is said to have been built by Sakanoue Tamuramaro during the Heian period. At Shingon sect temples, the mandalas and hair woven Buddhist paintings of the previous chief priests are impressive, and in the Kitamaebune-related area, I was surprised at the large number of buns dedicated to people whose lives were saved in a storm as a token of gratitude. There were also many boat votive tablets on display, all of which I wanted to take my time to look at. In particular, on the votive tablets of what is believed to be the oldest Hokkaido ship (a boat that rows with dew when the wind is against it), is there a depiction of the deterioration (jisai) described in the Weishi Wajinden? So, it was very interesting. I think this is a must-see spot on your nationwide trip to Kitamae-bune. (Original) 施設内は撮影禁止なので内部の写真はありませんが、北前船関連でこの寺を訪問したら、是非住職の娘さんが案内して来ださる説明を聞いて欲しいと思います。 私達は、あまり時間が無かったので40分弱の滞在でしたが、出来れば1時間以上は時間をとってゆっくりと説明を聞いた方がいいと思います。 なんと、平安時代に坂上田村麻呂が建立したと伝えられる古刹です。 真言宗のお寺で、先先代の住職が描かれた曼荼羅や髪の毛を織り込んだ仏画は圧倒されますし、北前船関係では、嵐に遭遇して命を救われた人が感謝の気持ちを込めて髷を奉納した髷額の多さに驚きました。 また、船絵馬も沢山展示されていて、どれもゆっくりと時間をかけて見たいものばかりでした。 特に最古と思われる北国船（向い風の時は露で漕ぐ船）の絵馬には、魏志倭人伝に載っている持衰（じさい）が描かれている？ようで、大変興味深いものでした。 北前船を巡る全国旅では外せない名所だと思います。

There were also cute Jizo statues lined up on the steps of the approach to the shrine, and one of them had an adorable expression that made me wonder "where is it looking?", which soothed my heart ^ - ^ A pleasant breeze blew through the grounds, and I was surrounded by a gentle atmosphere that naturally made me feel calm♪ I found out later that it was a wonderful place that made me understand why it is called a power spot☆ (Original) 2025.06深浦温泉へ向かう途中に立ち寄りました♪ 仁王門の天井画の龍の迫力に圧倒され、門をくぐると、そこには深浦町指定の天然記念物「竜灯杉（りゅうとうすぎ）」がそびえており、その壮大さに感動しました！ また、参道の階段には可愛らしいお地蔵さまが並び、そのうちの1体は「どこを見ているのかな？」と思うような愛らしい表情をしていて、心が和みました^ - ^ 境内には心地よい風が吹き抜け、自然と穏やかな気持ちになれるような、優しい空気に包まれていました♪ 後ほど分かりましたが、パワースポットと呼ばせている事が納得できる素敵な場所でした☆

so so

Worth a quick stop to get their grill squid!! It was 1100 yen for 1 pack all cut up and comes with mayo. Delicious! Must get!

2025.10.30 Thu Arrived at 1655. It was a clear day. Sunset was beautiful. The octopus w rice was tender and delicious. The squid sushi thingy was quite special. Gotta try at least once. That freshly grilled squid in the morning was delicious although a bit expensive.

Large parking lot and great for a quick stop while driving. The shop is a bit small, but there are local seafood and farmers’ market goods. There is also a small restaurant, but the hours are limited (closed at 3PM when I went, and I was there at 3:30). I was a bit disappointed in the coastline by the area. There was a lot of trashed washed up on shore at this spot.

Camping spot 2 minutes around corner and a supermarket 20 minutes away made it so much better because it was closed.

Pretty windy but Beautiful sunset

Lovely and fresh sea foods. Especially, squids are famous. I love sea shells here, too.

Nice view. I climb to the top to admire the sunset there. Not recommend it on a stormy day but worth to stop by on a sunny day.

Cool little stop. You can climb around the rocks and admire the views.

Rocks in the sea… beautiful view of the sea and town. A short walk from Fukaura station.

Cool place. Well paved walk to rocky outcrop. (But a bit of climb up the last part). Stairs up a lttle tunnel and good views from ontop the rock. Many spots for nice photos.

Nice view, clear water. Worth to stop by.

(Translated by Google) The sea was calmer than I had expected, and on a clear day the views were great and it was a very pleasant place. The rock climbing had some steps that were a bit dangerous for the elderly, but I think most people would be able to climb up and enjoy the view without any problems. (Many of the rocks had beautiful patterns, probably because the stones had been bent many times under pressure for a long time. They reminded me somewhat of the rope patterns of Jomon pottery, and I wondered if they got the idea for the pottery patterns from this^^;) (Original) 事前に予想していたより、海も凪いでいて晴れていれば眺めは良く気持ちの良い場所でした。 岩登りはお年寄りには少々危険な階段もありましたが、一般の方なら問題なく登って風景を見ることが出来ると思います。 （石が長い間圧力がかかって何度も折り曲げられたのか、綺麗な模様が入った岩が多く、どこか縄文土器の縄目を感じさせ「これから土器模様のアイデアもらった？」って思ったり^^; ）

(Translated by Google) This place is fun. It's a bit of an athletics course, but it can be dangerous if you're not careful. The view is amazing, with the natural rock formations against the clear blue ocean.

(Translated by Google) When I went in late August, there were no beachgoers and only one or two cars parked in the parking lot. The sea was fairly clear, with many shallow areas and fish and sea slugs in sight. There was a coin-operated shower nearby for 100 yen for 3 minutes, and there were also several free taps available. There is no sandy beach, so your feet will hurt if you go barefoot, so it's a good idea to bring marine shoes.

(Translated by Google) A beach that can be enjoyed by both adults and children in Fukaura Town, Aomori Prefecture If you go through the pedestrian tunnel from the Yamate parking lot, you will reach the beach. The seawater pool, which is separated by 100 x 200 meters and has a depth around an adult's waist, is safe and has no waves. Be careful as the outside of the pool suddenly gets deep. The sea is clean and you can often see small fish such as pufferfish, octopuses, and shellfish in the pool. Petit snorkeling is recommended. The bottom of the pool is sand, but the surrounding area is rocky, so we strongly recommend wearing marine shoes to prevent injury. The facility is fairly old but generally clean. There are flush toilets, water for washing your feet, and paid showers. There are lifeguards on duty during the day in the summer, but I feel that they are more concerned with monitoring poaching than with the safety of swimmers.

(Translated by Google) Because its shape resembles an upside-down water jar, it is also known as ``Kamesugi.'' A huge tree that exudes a mysterious atmosphere. Estimated age: 1000 years, height: 35m, trunk circumference: 8.9m. Prefectural natural monument. On the mountain side, there are also memorial towers in the form of tablets from the Nanbokucho period. A collection of 42 tablets from this area. The surname Abe is engraved on it, and it is presumed to be related to the Ando clan. It has been designated as a prefectural historic site as the ``Seki Monument Group''. It is located right near the ``Ikoi Parking Zone'' on National Route 101. (Original) 形が水がめを伏せたように見えることから、「甕（かめ）杉」の別名がある。神秘的な雰囲気を漂わせる巨木。推定樹齢1000年・樹高35m・幹回り8.9ｍ。県天然記念物。その山側には、南北朝時代の板碑形式の供養塔も並んでいる。この地域にあった板碑を集め、42基がある。安倍という姓が刻まれていて、安東一族に関連したものと推定されている。「関の古碑群」として県指定史跡となっている。国道101号の「いこいの駐車帯」のすぐ近くにある。

(Translated by Google) This was one of the places I was most looking forward to on this trip. After parking at the bottom of the hill and climbing the stairs, we arrived in just three minutes. We were greeted by a Kamesugi tree, estimated to be 1,000 years old. Being on top of a hill, the sea breeze was strong, causing the trees to sway with a loud rustling sound. The Seki ancient monuments were erected during the Nanboku-cho period and enshrined here as a memorial tower. Kamesugi tree and ancient monuments. I believe the strong feelings of those who rest here led to the memorial tower being erected under this sacred tree. People gather here, heading for this tree, and become aware of our existence. And so the corridor of life continues. A beautiful balance of stillness and movement was maintained. (Original) 今回の旅で1番楽しみにしていた場所の1つ。 丘の下に車を止め階段を上ること 3分ほどですぐに着きます。 推定樹齢1000年の甕杉（かめすぎ）が 迎えてくれます。 丘の上に立っているので 海風も強く木々がザーッと大きな音を 立てて揺らめいていました。 そして関の古碑群は南北朝時代に 建てられて供養塔としてここに 安置されています。 甕杉と古碑群。 この御神木の下に供養塔を設置したのも ここに眠る人達の強い思いが そうさせたのかなと思います。 この樹を目指して人が集まり 我々の存在を知る。 そうして生命の回廊は続いていく。 静と動が見事なバランスで 保たれていました。

(Translated by Google) My favorite was the largest ginkgo in Japan, but I was even more impressed because I didn't have any expectations when I stopped by. As everyone has written, it is full of atmosphere that can be called a power spot. Five stars! (Original) 日本一の大イチョウが本命だったけど、何気に寄って期待していなかった分感動はひとしお。皆様が書いている通りパワースポットと言って良い位の雰囲気満載。星五つです！

(Translated by Google) The Kamesugi tree was amazing! I thought it was amazing that it could survive for over 1000 years in the cold Tohoku region, but I also felt its kindness from its appearance. (Original) かめ杉が、素晴らしかった！寒い東北で1000年以上生き続けるってすごいことだと思ったけど、その姿から優しさを感じました。

(Translated by Google) Seki no Kamesugi (Kamesugi). Location: Tochizawa, Seki, Fukaura-cho, Nishitsugaru-gun, Aomori Prefecture. Tree species: Japanese cedar. Designated as a natural monument by the prefecture. Estimated age: 1,000 years. Trunk circumference: 8.2 m. Height: 35 m. Sometimes called "Kamesugi". You can park your car in the parking lot next to Oriso Ginkgo and take a tour. (Original) 関の甕杉（かめすぎ）. 所在地, 青森県西津軽郡深浦町関字栃沢. 樹 種, スギ. 指 定, 県指定天然記念物. 推定樹齢千年、幹 周, 8.2m. 樹 高, 35m. 「亀杉」と呼ばれることもあります。折曽のイチョウ脇の駐車場に車を停めて、見学できます。

(Translated by Google) I got an admission ticket for 600 yen for the Fukaura Cultural Center, Art Museum, and Kazamachikan. The museum's special exhibition displays works by painters from Aomori Prefecture. Other permanent exhibitions include history related to Fukaura, Kitamaebune ships, and equipment used in farm life. It takes less than an hour to go around everything. It was raining heavily outside, so I looked at the exhibit while taking shelter from the rain at the museum. There is a parking lot at the entrance. There is space to park about 3 cars. (Original) 深浦文化館、美術館、風まち館の３館共通券600¥で入場券入手しました。 美術館の企画展は青森県出身の画家の作品を展示します。 他の常設展は深浦関連の歴史、北前船、農家生活の器具など展示してます。 全部回るのは1時間も掛からないです。 外はちょうど大雨で、美術館で雨宿りながら展示を見ました。 入口のところ、駐車場はあります。3台くらい停めるスペースです。

(Translated by Google) The museum also had an art museum attached to it. (I wanted to take pictures just at the museum) (Original) 資料館に美術館も併設されていました (資料館だけでも写真撮りたかったです)

(Translated by Google) Folklore museum in Fukaura town. It's near the office. Please note that this facility is separate from Kazamachikan, which specializes in Kitamaebune boats. Admission fee: 300 yen. (Original) 深浦町の民族資料館。役場近くにあります。北前船に特化した風待ち舘とは別の施設なので注意。入館料300円。

(Translated by Google) First of all, as everyone said, I think it would be better to clarify whether there is a fee or not. While I can feel the enthusiasm of the restaurant "S" in town, I am a little disappointed. What's more, there is a signboard in front of the store, so if you're a train user looking to kill time, you might want to stop by. There is little content or information about Fukaura, and the contents are just copies of other documents, and valuable items from that day are displayed, and there are also works of art from other parts of the prefecture, and a little more stories from local people. I would like to hear from the unique perspective of the city, including the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras, recent changes and problems in the city, and future goals. A torn up pamphlet was thrown away in a trash can at Fukaura station. That also makes sense. (Original) まずは、皆さんの言う通り料金の有無は、はっきりさせたほうが良いと思います。街にある食事処「S」の熱意を感じる一方、少し残念です。 しかもその店の前に案内看板もあったりして・・時間潰しに鉄道利用者なら立ち寄りそうな感じです。 深浦に関しての内容も情報も少なく、他の文献を丸写しにした内容で、それと当日の貴重な物を陳列しているだけで、美術品も県内の他地区だったり、もう少し地元の方々の話や昭和・平成・令和、近年の街の移り変わりや問題そして、これから目標など街独自の視点で語って頂きたかったです。 深浦の駅にあるゴミ箱に破り捨てられたパンフレットが捨てられていました。それもうなずけます。

(Translated by Google) The museum had wooden sculptures and paintings on display, but the theme was unclear. In terms of history, there weren't many exhibits, and although there were clay figurines, there were no exhibits from before the Kamakura period, so I wasn't interested. Regarding folklore, there were displays of daily necessities and agricultural tools that were used locally in the past, but there were not many explanatory texts, so it was difficult to understand them. This is a small museum. (Original) 美術館は、木の彫刻と絵画が展示されていたが、テーマが不明だった。 歴史観は、展示物が少なく、土偶はあったが鎌倉時代以前のものの展示が皆無なので興味が湧かなかった。 民俗は、地元の昔使っていた日用品や農具などが展示されていたが、説明文が少ないのでよく理解できなかった。 こじんまりとした資料館です。

(Translated by Google) It's a bit of a shame since it's a town facility, but I wish there was a little more ingenuity in how it was displayed! (Original) 町の設備なのでチョット残念、展示方法をもう少し工夫が欲しいね！

(Translated by Google) I was able to learn about the history of Fukaura Town. It would be nice to have excavated historical materials such as Jomon ruins from the same era as the Sannai Maruyama ruins. (Original) 深浦町の歴史を知る事ができました。 三内丸山遺跡と同時代の縄文遺跡とかの発掘史料もあればいいですね。
