If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Located 20 miles away, Hachinohe is worth the drive. Hachinohe Morning Market, Nagane Sports Park and Hachinohe Park alone make the drive out worth it. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Owani, 35 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Owani Onsen Ski Resort. (But we’re also huge fans of Owani Onsen and Road Station Hirosaki - San Festa Ishikawa.)
