The Oirase Gorge is located only a short drive from Hachinohe and is a breathtaking piece of nature. Hiking along the gorge is a popular activity for locals, and some just choose to drive alongside the scenery on the road that runs next to the stream - this road was an unpleasant distraction from the natural beauty, and the smell of automobile exhaust wasn't desirable either.

The Nihon-jin were either decked out in the latest in hiking fashion and technology, or in high heels and mini skirts for the muddy hike.
After a good two hours, we emerged from the mouth of the gorge to see the spectacular Towada Lake.
