Hakkoda

Hakkoda is located in the center of Aomori prefecture and features the ranges of peaks of Minami Hakkoda and Kita Hakkoda. The appeal of this area is the environment which has rich nature. The origin of the name of Hakkoda is “many” (represented by the character of 八) “horizontal” (represented by the character of 甲) mountains and many fens (represented by the character of 田) on the mountains. As the name indicates, there are many wetlands around Hakkoda. It is also known as one of the foremost snowing areas in the world and back country skiing in winter is popular. With the use of a ropeway, beginner climbers also can enjoy hiking with alpine plants and red leaves.
