Our guide

Lake Ogawara is the largest lake in Aomori Prefecture and the eleventh largest in Japan by area. It spans the city of Misawa, the town of Tōhoku and the village of Rokkasho. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.

We have not checked a public-transport route, so plan the journey on the map and look for local information before you go.
