Lake Towada is a caldera lake formed by volcanic activity that began roughly 200,000 years ago. Renowned as one of Aomori’s most scenic destinations, it offers breathtaking views that can be fully enjoyed from the water aboard a sightseeing cruise.
There are two routes:
Route A: A one-way trip between Yasumiya and Nenokuchi
Route B: A circular course departing from Yasumiya that passes through the West Lake and Naka Lake, the latter being the third deepest lake in Japan
Both routes take approximately 50 minutes, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your travel plans.
From the boat, you’ll experience scenery that differs from the lakeshore-lush summer greenery, brilliant autumn foliage, the deep blue of the water, playful waterfowl, and dramatic sights such as the towering 200-meter Senjomaku Cliff.
In addition to standard seating, the cruise offers a refined Green Room for an extra fee. You can also step out onto the deck to feel the breeze and enjoy the cruise in the open air.

The moment I got on the sightseeing boat, I felt super relaxed. The breeze on the lake was amazing, and the ride was really smooth—no seasickness at all. Even if you're not comfortable with water, you can enjoy this easily.
