Scenic River

Oirase Stream, flowing from Lake Towada in Aomori Prefecture, is renowned for its seasonal beauty, including 14 waterfalls and scenic mountain streams. Highlights include the three-tiered Kumoinotaki Falls, the vibrant autumn foliage complemented by mossy rocks, and popular photo spots like Choshi Falls and Ashura no Nagare. Traffic restrictions and eco-friendly events, such as the Oirase Stream Eco Road Festival, help preserve its natural environment during peak autumn viewing.
