Generally speaking, the Oirase Stream is hard to access by public transport during winter due to road closure, but the winter sight is awesome which is something I realy wanted to see. So I joined one of the tours that runs between the Lake Towada WInter Tale venue the the Oirase Stream (there are day or night tours).

We deliberately do the walk on a weekday to avoid the crowd ( it’s very popular as a domestic destination among japs) . We rented a car and stop at key sites and walk short distances . We’re planning on going again in the summers when the weather is warmer to see the streams with green foliage…
