Enjoy autumn at Kumoya Kogen, where colorful cosmos bloom and compete

After enjoying the autumn appetite at the original Aomori Nokkedon, why not enjoy the autumn holiday season at the foot of Mt. Hakkoda?

Approximately 15 minutes by car from Aomori Chuo IC on the Tohoku Expressway, approximately 30 minutes by taxi or 40 minutes by route bus from JR Aomori Station. Moya Hills, located at the northern gateway to Mt. Hakkoda, is a comprehensive leisure facility that can be enjoyed throughout the year, including auto camping, tennis, free climbing, and the roller luge "Hills Thunder" from spring to fall, and skiing and snowboarding in the winter.

The autumn tradition of Moya Hills is the cosmos field that stretches all over the Moya Plateau. The ''Kumokani Kogen Cosmos Festival'' is held every September, where beautiful colorful flowers bloom and compete. This year, it will be held on September 17th (Sunday) and 18th (Monday / holiday), and various events will be held, including the popular cosmos maze, cosmos zodiac art, flower seedling giveaways, small animal petting experiences, craft experiences, and a festival corner. The Yosakoi Soran Festival will be held on September 23rd (Saturday/Holiday), where you can enjoy cosmos swaying in the highland wind and a spectacular dance performance.
