Oirase stream, Tsutanuma pond, Towada lake 2023/10/8 18:29
Hello, will there be any public transport from hotel jogakura to Oirase stream , Tsutanuma pond and Lake Towada after Nov 5th ?
If not, is it possible to rent a bicycle anywhere along the path or at one of the visitor centers along the path ?
Is there any taxi to transfer me from Lake Towada back to Oirase stream starting point (where I may leave my cycle for the hike + boat to Yasumiya) ?

After November 6th, you will not be able to go to Lake Towada via Jogakura Onsen.
If you are going to Jogakura Onsen, please take the Mizuumi train bound for Sukayu Onsen.

When I went to Towada City in January, I took a bus from Aomori Station to Towada City.

There are buses from Towada City to Keiryukan (OIRASE FIELD MUSEUM GATE).
http://www.toutetsu.co.jp/jikoku/towada-yakeyama.htm
Keiryukan seems to be open only until mid-November.

Keiryukan rents bicycles, but it may snow in early November, so please do not use them on snowy days.

You can probably request a taxi at the tourist information center or hotel at Lake Towada, but since the taxi company is located in Towada City, the fee for the taxi to Lake Towada (the fee before you board the car) will be added. Sho.

By the way, there are also fixed price taxis, so please take a look.

Thanks a lot !
The bus website for the bus from lake Towada to oirase field museum is competed in Japanese , and cannot be translated by google .
Can you please let me know the last bus from lake Towada to oirase field museum ? I will plan to park my car at oirase field museum , hike on the oirase stream to nenokuchi, take boat to sightsee lake Towada and land at Yasumiya ; and then finally take bus from there to oirase field museum - so that I can pick my car from there and go back to my stay at hotel jogakura
With this I don’t have to walk back again from Nenokuchi all the way in the reverse along oirase stream to reach my car park at oirase field museum .
So please let me know the last bus timing from lake Towada going toward or nearby oirase field museum

Thank you for contacting me.
This year it is so popular that buses to Lake Towada will be running until November 13th instead of November 5th. (Oirase)
Timetable from November 6th to 13th

You can see the information by converting the URL from Japanese to English using Google Translate.

If you leave Yasumiya (Google translation says ”yasuya”) at 16:00, you will arrive at Oirase Field Museum (Oirase Keiryukan bus stop) at 16:40.
