Oirase Keiryu Hotel

Power Charge in the National Park of Aomori

-
The Oirase Gorge is a place where you can enjoy nature in all four seasons: fresh green in spring, deep green in summer, autumn leaves in fall, and snow-covered scenery in winter. From late April to May, the trees along the stream gradually start to bud, offering a mix of colors from over 100 types of trees like the red-tinged Japanese maple and the golden shining beech, creating a beautiful fresh green landscape. In spring, flowers bloom at your feet, birds sing joyfully, and as the snow melts, the water volume of the Oirase Gorge and many waterfalls increases, creating a more humid environment with splashes hitting rocks and fallen trees, awakening the moss inside the gorge. We have designed this program to help you regain your physical and mental well-being by performing a stretching program surrounded by beautiful spring greenery in the deep Oirase Stream.

Features

1Guide to a special spot surrounded by fresh greenery where the morning sun shines in

In this program, a knowledgeable concierge of the Oirase Stream guides visitors to the most beautiful spots where they can see the fresh greenery of the stream, according to the weather and the color of the new leaves. The guided tour takes place in the quiet early morning, where visitors can fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery of waterfalls, flowing streams, and sparkling greenery bathed in the morning sun. With the morning light shining through the thin, newly sprouted leaves, visitors can appreciate the beautiful scenery that can only be seen in the vibrant spring season.

2Original stretching program designed to match the splashes of the waterfall and the flow of the stream

Different breathtaking views can be seen in different areas of the Oirase Gorge, such as forests, streams, and waterfalls.
