Enjoy Winter in Goshogawara! Goshogawara Snow Cycling

Try fat-biking and snowshoeing! Frolic through Aomori's winter on an easy and active private tour.

This is a snow cycling tour through the Iizume area within Goshogawara's city limits. The route is very flat and has little vehicle traffic, so it’s great for beginners. Simply riding a bicycle on snow is exciting enough, but the stunning winter scenery creates a unique and refreshing experience quite different from cycling in summer. Once you reach the tour's final location, we recommend returning to Goshogawara City on the Tsugaru Railway Stove Train, a famous winter attraction in Tsugaru. Enjoy this private tour with your family, friends, or a special someone.
※This tour includes all fat bike and snowshoe rental equipment. You need only prepare proper winter clothing and your minimum daily necessities to join.
※Snowshoeing is optional.

The cycling trip starts from Tsugaru Kanayama Pottery! This earthenware workshop is open from 9 a.m., so you can have a look around and buy some souvenirs before the tour starts.
Mt. Iwaki is visible behind orchards of leafless apple trees. Ride along and view the scenery rich with Tsugaru's winter ambience!
Winter is a perfect time for animal tracking. It's fascinating to examine the animal prints left in the snow and imagine the lifestyles and behaviors of these creatures.
See a land of snowy white underneath the clear blue sky. Pedaling gets easier when you feel the excitement rush through you.
Choenji Temple in the Iizume area is a place of spiritual power which many visitors from far and wide come to see. It is home to Shiawase Kannon, the Buddha of Happiness.
You can step off your bicycle and into some snowshoes! Appreciate the snowy Tsugaru winter scenery at a slower pace on this mini snowshoe hiking experience.
After the snowshoe trek, have a break and enjoy some hot drinks on makeshift cafe tables carved out of the snow.
The final destination is the retro-looking Tsugaru-Iizume Station. We recommend riding the Stove Train (Tsugaru Railway) back into the city!
