Mt. Iwaki Part 2

After the visit at the shrine, we continued to drove up to visit the peak of the mountain. It was a scary and spinning way both up and down! You would have to pay 1650 yen (forgot the amount) just to drive in to visit the peak. It is called "Tsugaru Iwaki Skyline" leads to 8th station of the mountain, which is located about 1,240 meters high. The zigzag road  has 69 curves on the route that they even had small sign to tell you how many curves are currently at. I was getting dizzy half way up. Once we reached, i realised that was not the peak, you still have to board the cable line up  (chargeable of course). 

Coming here, you certainly have to try their corns and apples! The corn fields and apples farm are everywhere! Many visitors were queuing to buy the corns including us. Super sweet!



the way to peak if you dare to sit and pay another 800yen
