I visited just before the sunset, so I thought there would be no people, but I was surprised that many people came to see the sunset ...

Five minutes from Griland.

You can feel the uniqueness of Lake Towada ...

行くには狭いワインディングを走ることもあり、奥入瀬や乙女の像周辺が混んでいても、ここまで訪れる人はまばらです。 思ったより標高は高く十和田湖のかなりの部分を見渡せますが、地理的な制約で視界全面が風景とはいかず、木々の間からの覗き見る形なのは自然を生かせば致し方ないのでしょう。

十和田湖を南から眺めました

子ノ口と休屋の間にある半島部の先の方にあり、l行程は結構な山道でした。高度があるので広々とした景観で休屋の半島がよく見えました。なお、特に駐車場はなかったように思います。
