Summer vacation 14 - the way back started - Aomori - Hakkoda mountain - Towada ko

Aomori was the northern most point of this years trip. So from there I'm on my way back.

First stop will be at Towada ko but on the way there I stop by at Hakkoda mountain. It was an overcast day but the cable car brought me above or behind the clouds. 
There are several peaks and I decided to try at least Akakuradake, which is the first in a row of three peaks. 

A nice hike with some great views over the crater of this vulcano and som pretty flowers.


In the crater some marshland was created.

On the way further I stopped by at another marshland. Due to the low clouds all the grass there was dripping wet. So I ended up being soaked. 

So I decided to check out the onsen close by. This was a brand new building with a nice outdoor pool. And a huge indoor pool.

It was late already, when I reached my accommodation for the night. No restaurants on the way. So luckily I could get some dinner at my hotel/ryokan.
On the next day cloud base first was on the rim of the crater of lake Towada. Later it came down to the lake and it was raining more or less the whole day. So no chance for my walk along the Oirase stream, that I had planned for the day.
