山頂公園駅

I visited to enjoy the autumn leaves of 2016. The ropeway was said to wait for an hour and a half, but in fact it was possible to get on after waiting for an hour. The excitement that I got after waiting for an hour was great. It was the second visit, but it will surely be a place where you can get a big impression whenever you come.

I went there during the autumn leaves, but the scenery is wonderful. It is a pity that the ropeway window was full of scratches.

Stroll the promenade for about an hour. There are some ups and downs, but you can walk while enjoying the scenery and plants. There is also a free volunteer guide, so you can enjoy it more by walking while listening to the explanation.

The date of the visit is autumn 2016.11.01. The maple leaves under the mountain are nearing the end, and there is still a hint of red maple. The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature when the cable car rides. When the cable car station is on the top of the mountain, the outside is already white. deep. But it is very intimate that the cable car station prepares free snow boots and outerwear, which can be directly rented and worn to play in the outside square. The snow cover is not high in this period, but it is enough to make people enjoy it. The sun shines up the mountain, and the scenery is even more beautiful when it falls on the snow. When I walked to the observation deck on the north side, the visibility happened to be good that day, and the downtown area of ​​Aomori not far from the mountain was unobstructed. It is said that the Tsugaru Strait and Hokkaido can be seen at the best visibility. Back in the station, remember to return the rented snow boots, and then go to the sales department for a hot drink. It is really a nostalgic place.

Visited in March 2021. The whole area is rime and smooth powder snow. I was surprised at the quality of the snow that did not harden at all when I tried to make snowballs. There were vending machines and toilets, a restaurant, an observation corner, and a souvenir shop inside the station. Regarding the ropeway, the operation was usually restricted to half of the 100-seater gondola, but this is because 90% of the users were skiers and had boards and stocks rather than corona damage, so even half of them were packed. did. Since the service will be suspended at any time depending on the weather conditions at the top of the mountain, it is essential to check the website in advance even if you are heading from Aomori City for about an hour by car.
