thank you

While folks in this forum have been very helpful in answering questions, I think one should make an effort attempting to find answers here.

You asked a total of 11 questions, some of which the answers can be found if you put some effort into searching the internet for the info.

Dear Charlie

i have tried to search in google and japan-guide before posted in this forum. but some information is not clear, some is not update. and used google to translate japanese text, but i still can not understand some of them.

i posted a lot of questions because don't want to separate into 3-4 topics and my questions are relate to each other.

thank you for your suggestion

The "//" symbol most likely means there is no stop there on that bus number.

Of all the eleven questions, I think only the boat and bus schedule questions could have been relatively easily looked up by reading the basics on Japan Guide. The others are all quite challenging. I will try to answer them:

When will Lake Towada Winter Story 2015 ?
When will fireworks begin ?

February 6 to March 1
Can't find the firework starting time. Last year it was at 8pm. I would assume it is the same this year.

Any day tour from aomori to mt. hokkoda or lake towada, oirase stream ?

You mean a bus tour or guided tour? I am not sure whether it exists, but I doubt it. If it does, then it is certainly in Japanese only.

May i have The Towada Lake excursion boat timetable please ? (courseB: Yasumiya to Yasumiya)

Last year's schedule:

Is it possible to walk from The Towada Lake excursion boat pier (yasumiya) to the statue of maidens ?

Yes, it is just a short walk.

Is it possible to see Snow Monster on Mt.Hakkoda, if I can not ski ?

Looking at photos of the ropeway in winter, it seems that you can easily see them from the ropeway.

how to find information about Mt.Hakkoda ropeway weather condition ?

The weather conditions at the upper station are published on the ropeway's website:

would you recommend places to visit or things to do while wait for the next bus ?

Get to Sukayu Onsen for a bath, instead.

thank you very much for all answers.
