Intended to be a “facility for providing new experiences through art”, this center functions as a central pillar for the “Arts Towada Project” to make all of Kanchogai-dori Avenue function like a big art museum.

    Aomori Towada-shi Okuse Towadakohanutarube 123-1
    This is a boat touring adventure outfit along the TowadaRoadin Utarube, Towadakohan, Okuse, Towada City. The boats tour the nature preserve areas of Lake Towada where one can enjoy seeing the ItomukaCove,ancient ruins, and wildlife all from atop a powerboat.

    Room quality was not great but not many options to ride a jet boat. Room rate was not justified with the room quality though.

    馬に特化したマニアックな郷土館です。乗馬シュミレーションなど子供も楽しめる設備がありますが、基本的には郷土館といった趣です。市の中心部からはかなり遠く、道もカーブが多い坂道なので気軽に行くには難易度高し。

    初コースです。 クラブハウスも立派で格式ある感じのコース。芝の手入れも抜群でした。 ゴルフ場の楽しみはやっぱりお昼ご飯。想像していた以上にメニューも豊富で馬肉鍋かばら焼きで悩みましたが十和田のばら焼きをチョイス。 ご飯が少し少なかったですが味わいよく美味しい。 隠れた人気メニューという身欠きニシンも絶品!

As the most northern prefecture on the Japanese mainland, Aomori enjoys a cooler climate, which makes it a welcome escape from the southern cities for combining castles, art galleries, and summer festivals with the great outdoors.
