itinerary

The last day is a Shimokita Sightseeing day.

Water of Rejuvenation (若返りの水)

Passing Sanzu River (三途の川)

Osorezan Temple

The scenery of Osorezan is very unique. A beautiful lake of Usori, a number of hells made by volcanic hills, and the temple -- each of them makes up one mixed scenery which is hard to find anywhere.

Yagen onsen (薬研温泉) was a very adventurous hot spring for mixed bathing, exposed to the nature and the stream. Felt so good!

海峡いさり火公園

North end of Honshu (本州最北端の地), Hakodate (函館) is seen over the channel.

Tuna-only bowl (まぐろだけ丼) here

Luckily we can eat tuna fished in Ooma only in this season (from Septermber to December).

Hotogegaura (仏ヶ浦)

Good-bye Aomori!

When I returned the car, they demanded 21,500 yen for the front spoiler, which was the maximum price I had estimated. I was so discouraged and walked Aomori harbor and downtown fow a while before getting on the midnight bus to Tokyo.
