Beautiful lake and surroundings, a few hikes. Very natural and great. The one thing we didn't like is that it looked half abandoned and it was very inactive, all restaurants were closed and a lot of hotels/visitor centres were closed. That was in early July, we learnt afterwards that the high season there is autumn, but we would have liked to have more options for dinner close by.

Great visit. though Towada lake is famous for its depth in Japan, I don't know how beautiful its water and view is.you need to drive and get there before sunset.I also went there at night and shady darky lake was also great.you can also go fishing there although I don't know what you can get there.anyway,you have to get there!

Lake Towada is a caldera lake formed by volcanic activity that began about 200,000 years ago. Wow, it's a little scary. I like to drive from Oirase Gorge to Lake Towada. It's soothing.

Thanks to my Japanese sister again for driving us from Hachinohe to Lake Towada each time my relatives and my colleagues visited Hachinohe. We were there April 2016, July 2017 and May 2019. Lake Towada is the biggest crater lake situated in Japan main island, Honshu. Along the way up to Lake Towada, we will pass the Oirase stream trail and Towada City. We will stopped at Oirase stream to take pictures of the waterfalls such as Kumoi waterfall, Choshi Otaki, Ashura Current, and Kujukushima, these are just a few of the many popular waterfalls and scenes in Oirase Gorge. Many visitors and photographers try their hand at taking the best picturesque shot. If you come in Autumn, you would see all the trees that lined the Oirase stream turn into golden colors which I miss so far. Will go there in Autumn, the next trip...
