Overview

The Hakkoda Gourd Line is a walking trail in Aomori Prefecture that circles Tamadake Marshland from the summit station of Mount Hakkoda. The approximately 1.8km course starts from the summit station at an elevation of 1,300m and gently descends, taking about an hour to complete. The well-maintained path makes it easy to stroll in sneakers. In spring, the melting snow reveals fresh green shoots, creating a breathtaking landscape. Summer brings a vibrant display of alpine flowers, including skunk cabbage and water lilies. Autumn paints the mountains in fiery hues of red and yellow as beech and maple trees turn, offering a breathtaking spectacle. Winter transforms the landscape into a magical wonderland of snow, perfect for snowshoeing or using *wakan* (traditional snowshoes) for snow trekking. The Hakkoda Gourd Line offers a panoramic view of nature's beauty throughout the four seasons. There are several rest areas along the Gourd Line where you can purchase light meals and drinks. The Hakkoda Ropeway summit station also has shops and restaurants where you can have lunch. The Hakkoda Gourd Line is a highly recommended trekking course to fully experience the magnificent natural beauty of Mount Hakkoda.
