Hi, I’m Tabi!

Towada is a city in Aomori offering Oirase’s nature and contemporary art in its urban center. These are separate, distant destinations rather than a short walking circuit. The whole of Lake Towada should not be treated as lying within this city.

This guide covers places within Towada, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Water and rocks along Oirase Stream in 201701

A first-visit stop

Oirase Stream

奥入瀬渓流

View water flowing through woodland from permitted paths. Ishigedo Rest House is an access-planning starting point, not the exact camera location in the photos. The special September 2026 vehicle restrictions belonged to a past event; check current autumn road, bus and path conditions separately.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Towada Art Center

十和田市現代美術館

A city-center museum offering new experiences through art. Plan transport separately from the stream and check current exhibitions, admission and closures. Follow the museum’s visitor rules.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Barayaki photographed at Tsukasa in 2023
A historical serving example, not a current menu guarantee

Barayaki is introduced as a local Towada dish. The photo is an example photographed at Tsukasa in the city in 2023, not a promise of current menus or prices. Confirm meat types, sauces and allergens, and do not assume every ingredient originates in Towada.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
