Hakkōda Mountains

I used to travel to Hakkoda every winter when I lived in Japan. Probably here you can find the smoothest snow powder in the world. Really fun to go down in the wild of Hakkoda. You need to know there was once severe training session by Japanese military having left a lot of dead bodies. The beautiful great wild is not only attractive but also dangerous to those who love being in nature.

We only went around at the lower part of the Hakkoda mountain and yet it was already really beautiful. Luckily this part has already had some autumn colours while the rest of Aomori is still very green. Would love to spend more time here without the kids.

I had a enjoyable time spotting flowers.

I would choose winter to come here Not just the view One can ski too

This is my ultimate zen spot! Whenever I'm in Aomori, you can bet I'll be heading straight there. The powder for snowboarding is simply unbeatable, and the mountains themselves are breathtaking. Just a heads up though, keep an eye out for the occasional wild black bears and the unpredictable blizzards. Other than that, it's pure bliss up there!

Really beautiful in autumn, worth paying for the gondola up, get great views of Aomori city

Breath-taking View with loads of fresh air.

Awesome
