Oirase Stream (Autumn)

As we did in summer, we again, rent a car and stopped on the sideroad for the spots we wanted to see.
In the autumn season, the roads were crowded than the summer time. many cars and many buses were passing in the small roads. So need to be careful! 

Here is the options of the access to the Oirase Stream:
The 14 km walking path along Oirase Gorge starts from Ne-no-Kuchi (子の口)  along the Lake Towada lakeside and end at Yakeyama mountain (焼山),  . It is a easy-to-walk hiking trail. And the path is made to be accessible to cars too.
Walking –
To walk from Ne-no-Kuchi to Yakeyama (Oirase Keiryū-kan), it takes about 4-5 hours. 
Rental bicycle –
In the both side of Oirase Gorge , Ne-no-Kuchi area and in Yakeyama mountain area there are rental bicycle. In bicycle the 14 km become about 2 hours journey . Which is recommended for whom want to enjoy themselves without pushing themselves too far.
Bus – 
There is two option of buses.
JR Bus – Which goes through all the Oirase Gorge from Ne-no-Kuchi until Yakeyama Station.
A shuttle bus – Which goes only half way.
In Yakeyama area there a Hotel which from there the bus departure every one hour. The last stop is Kumoi-no-Taki-Waterfall , from there it need to walk to Ne-no-Kuchi (about 1 hour and half). The shuttle bus is free for hotel`s guests. 
Car –
Along the walking area are various temporary parking spaces, so it’s fine to move between spots by car too.

If you go from Aomori station, There is direct but to the Yakeyama bus station. So from there you can choose if you want to use Jr Bus, Shuttle bus, bicycle or walk.
