How to get out Aomori
Hirosaki, the "Kyoto of the North", is 45 minutes away by train.
The Shimokita Peninsula, one of the most remote but also one of the most beautiful places in Japan, is a few hours away by train.
The route from Aomori city to Hachinohe via Sukayu Onsen and Lake Towada is accessible via an infrequent Japan Rail bus (leaving e.g. 10:10am, noon) which leaves from the terminal (stop 8) outside Aomori Station. This is a picturesque route in a 45-person-capacity bus with a recorded tour commentary in Japan and English, and which also allows day trips to the Hakkoda Mountains. This area is an hour away by bus from Aomori, and can be hiked via Sukaya Onsen or from the local cable car, which the bus also stops at. The last bus for Aomori leaves from the onsen at 16:58 (cable car 17:08). Lake Towada is also a worthwhile stopping point on the road to or from Aomori.
