【Aomori trip】I went to Aomori prefecture to see awesome autumn-leaves at Tsuta-numa. But weather forecast said it might snow...Finally could I achieve impressive scenery...??

I decided to visit Aomori for "Tsuta-numa autumnleaves"

Day1 I went "Mt.Osore" and "The Northernmost are of Japna island".

It was really fantastic dispite of bad weather.

But today sun was necessary to achive this travel main purpose super "Tsuta-numa（蔦沼）autmnleaves".

So I prayed at bed it would be sunny..

 

4:30 Day 2 was started

Nevertheless I prayed at night and left too early morning.

It was snow!!

It was my first snow at this season..

In many case, first snow was so impressive and happy event...

Actually it was imppressive but too bad timing just now!!!

But I could not give up!!

I belived miracle!

So I left for Tsuta-numa!!

 

6:00　Tsuta-numa(蔦沼）

I got there and then snow was stopped!!

But it was still cloudy...

Comon miracle!!!

Anyway I went towards Tsuta-numa.

 

I found many leaves had dropped already...

Inspite of the fact that I saw lots of autumnleves during yesterday driviing.

Then I figuered out here was higher place than there.

In other words,fininshing autmnleves was earler than there...?

Oh...no...

There were other people who belived miracle as well as me!!

I could see Tsuta-numa...but it was still cloudy...

Tsuta-numa was swamp and was surrounding by forest.

Awsome landscape is made by reflected forest turned red on surface of swamp.

It means sun right is nesessary!!!

So if there were no sun light...it was only red forest...like this

And,unfortunately it seemed a littele leaves had been already dropped....

But there still remained almost leaves!

So I was sure if there were sun light,I could see awsome landscape!!

So I dicided to wait as long as I could stand cold!!!

8:00 Sun appeared!!!!

It was miracle!!!

Sun shown up between the cloud only at moment!!

Honestly, it was inferior to the sceanry JR advatisement.

But the sceanry was impressive.

I could achieve this travel target!

As soon as I enjoyed it,I dushed into my car for warming!!!

So cold!!!

8:30 Okuirase-keiryu（奥入瀬渓流）

"Okuirase-keiryu" was close to Tsuta-numa.

It was only 20 min by car.

There were long Autum leaves loads along mountain stream!!

It was good landscape for driving.

But unfortunately it started rain again....

So I wanted to see directly but I couldn't get out of car...

That's because I had been exhausted by waiting sun at Tsuta-numa.

Now that I regret not getting out then.

I should have watched directly...

But actually the landscape from car was good!

Super landscape!!

9:10 Towada lake（十和田湖）

Having kept driving along with stream,finally I got "Towada lake".

And then rain was stopped!

So I tryed to go back to Okuirese-Keiryu．

But unfortunatly it was impossible because the road of Okuirise-keiryuu was regurated.

The way was only one direction.

So if I would like to try again,I had to go back to so far start point.

I regreted to give up tp try again and aimed next destination.

10:30 Apple Park in Hirosaki city

I got Hirosaki-city and went to Apple park.

Aomori is famous for apple!!

When every Japanese are asked what is Aomori image?,difenetly everyone answer it is "Apple!!".

There were various kinds of apples!!

This was so small apples!!!

Compare with fingure...The size is really small!!

It looked like cherry,but it was not soft but solid!!

You can enjoy not only wacthing but also tasting them.

And there are tour to harvest apples!!

This apple pie was really cute and delicious!!

13:15 Too beautiful Starbucks

This building is Starbacks !!

This starbucks was so beautiful as if it was appeared at movie!

This building was built at Taisho era and remained previous appearance.

So it was registered as trangible cultural property by Japan.

Not only appearance but also inside was good!

There were a cozy space.

 Surrounding strabucks, there were other good bulidings!

It was good for walking.

This was Libraly !!cool!!

I ate lunch neighborfood at Salon de cafe Ange（アンジュ）.
