The Ministry of the Environment, along with Aomori Prefecture, Hachinohe City, Nanbu Town, Gonohe Town, and Towada City, is working to establish a 120 km “Hachinohe Towada Trail” (tentative name). This new long-distance trail will connect Hachinohe City in Aomori Prefecture, passing through Nanbu Town and Gonohe Town, to Towada Shrine in Towada City, linking Towada-Hachimantai National Park with the Michinoku Coastal Trail.
Currently, we are developing the route with the goal of a test opening around April 2025. To raise awareness of the trail among local residents and hikers, we will hold a walking event.
Schedule:
• Date: November 23, 2024 (Saturday)
• Route: Towada area (from Roadside Station Oirase to Oirase Gorge Hot Springs), approximately 15 km
• Organizer: Ministry of the Environment Tohoku office
