Would you spend five hours on a train?
I took the gorgeous Resort Shirakami sightseeing train from Akita to Hirosaki on the Kumagera train.
Along the way, the train slowed down at key points showcasing the most beautiful views of the sea of japan, and had various cultural activities such as a shamisen performance and a free basketball throwing game to win traditional wooden carvings.
Fully covered under the JR East Tohoku pass, this is probably the most recommended Must Dos if you’re visiting Tohoku.
I got off at Hirosaki just to look for the elusive leaf hearts, a perfect heart formed from two tree canopies. An absolutely perfect day ♡
