Luckily, got the chance to use the JR east pass available for foreign resident only during Covid. By Shinkansen (bullet train) to Shin-Aomori Station (新青森駅) then the bus to Sukayu-Onsen (酸ヶ湯温泉). Bright colors, sweet autumn view, some frames seemed fake... I admired the red-yellow valley and go down in amazement for the world that creates such beauty! Muddy trail sometimes, but that's the funny part of experiencing mountain adventures!!!
