There are so many things to do in Misawa and the surrounding area. There are tours year round that are conducted by the 35 Services Sq's 4 Seasons' Travel. They travel all over Japan and will gladly take you with them. Subscribe to our newsletter and we'll let you know about their tours and the sign up dates (and bunches of other things going on around here too).

But you don't have to take a tour to see the sights and have fun. The local area is just teeming with activities, events and locations of interest.

In the summer there is camping, fishing, hiking, festivals, sightseeing and many other liesure activities.

Fall in this part of the world is a beautiful thing. The hills and countryside are beautiful in their autumn colors. The air is fresh and brisk and it's just a wonderful place to be.

Winter gets cold and we get our fair share of snow. But that's no reason to hunker down and pray for spring. Skiing, ice skating and sledding are great fun and good exercise too.

Spring brings rebirth and the most awesome sight of the season is the blooming of the Sakura or Cherry Blossoms. Spring is also the start of the festival season.

Summers are ushered in by the rainy season which turns into warm weather highlighted by a number of festivals, sports and activities.

So make the decision now, that you're gonna see and do all that you can during your stay here. Believe me, you'll be much better off and the time will just fly. You work hard defending freedom and the nation. Enjoy your free time and soak up the culture while you can.

I'll do my best to provide much info as I can. This is a huge project and I'm only one person so check out the camping and skiing listed below. And keep coming back as we will be adding new things regularly.
