We checked in at Aomoriya, a resort-like ryokan with onsen and buffet dinner.
Early the next morning, we visited the lively Tatehana Sunday Morning Market, sampling local food and browsing handmade crafts.
Later, we hiked through Oirase Gorge, starting at Ishigedo. The trail led us past crystal-clear streams and stunning waterfalls like Choshi Otaki.
