Accompanied by a guide, you will walk the "Hakkoda Gourd Line" loop, enjoying the natural scenery and local flora and fauna.
True to its name, the "Hakkoda Gourd Line" is shaped like a gourd; the trail is well-maintained and the slopes are relatively gentle, making it easy to explore casually in sneakers.
Wetlands are scattered throughout the course, and a dense growth of various alpine plants creates the appearance of a vast natural bonsai garden.Options
The Highlight
This course features minimal elevation changes, making it enjoyable for hikers of all ages and families alike.
・Summit Observation Deck Offers panoramic views of the North and South Hakkoda mountain ranges and Mount Iwaki.
・Mutsu Bay Observation Deck Provides a view of Mutsu Bay and Aomori Port stretching out below. Visitors arriving by cruise ship can even spot their own vessel from here.
・Tamoyachi Marshland A loop trail allows you to observe alpine plants and other flora. The sight of the marshland’s autumn foliage—viewed from the observation deck at the peak of the season—is truly breathtaking.
The Experience
Accompanied by a guide, you will ascend to the Summit Park Station via the Hakkoda Ropeway and take a walk through the Tamoyachi Marshland.

This walking trail forms a 1.8 km loop, but those who are not confident in their physical stamina can turn back halfway.
The trail is well-maintained and easy to walk in the summer, making it suitable for families with elementary school-aged children to go trekking.
In winter, the area is covered in snow, and the Aomori fir trees transform into "snow monsters" (frost-covered trees).
Winter tours to see these snow monsters are also a popular offering.
Group size: Up to 4 people
