Saturday, April 17–Sunday, April 18

Travel by ski or splitboards across the entire northern Hakkoda range. This human-powered advanced level trip will bring you to the most remote parts of the Hakkoda Mountains, places that people rarely get to experience. If you enjoy the climb as much as the ride down then this trip is for you! Enjoy long backcountry ski routes that will bring you from the summit of volcanos and into the famous buna forest all while experiencing new terrain along the way. This trip is physically challenging, so advanced ski or splitboard skills are required. There is a mandatory pre-trip briefing at the Outdoor Recreation Center.

Never tried backpacking before? This might be your ideal chance to enjoy something new because the hiking is relatively easy and the distance is not too far. We will hike from the Mt. Hachimantai Visitor Center to a mountain hut on a plateau of pristine alpine ponds. From here your guide will offer various short hikes to the nearby summit and other destinations. Snowshoes will be provided as needed.

This is a moderately challenging activity, and there will be a mandatory pre-trip briefing at the Outdoor Recreation Center.

“The mountains are calling and I must go.”

- John Muir

No spring - Hal Hal Borland Ha Borl Bo orl rland rla and an

18 | March 2021

he stillness of snow peeking through the window on an early Monday morning. A small glimpse of sunrise behind the thick musky clouds, no birds to make a peep. The warmth of a cup of coffee while bundled in layers of clothing to keep our feet in heat. The savory aroma of a steamy ramen dish or a hot cup of tea to warm your stiff bones after a cold day outdoors. Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire. It is the time for home and gathering.

Winter months bring not only a change of season, but a change of heart. In the long stagnant days of winter our bodies are constantly learning to adapt to our environment around us.

Nature becomes a part of our lives and defines how we dress, what activities we participate in and what holidays we have to look forward to.

In northern Japan winters are quite exceptional.

Places in Aomori Prefecture can receive over 300 inches of snow during the winter season. What better place to indulge in all winter things than one of the snowiest places in the world? Luckily, there are many destinations nearby to accompany these wishes. Lots of folks enjoy spending long weekends participating in the many outdoor activities such as, skiing, snowboarding or even snowshoeing. For those who would rather skip the outdoor activities there is something for you as well. Most ski resorts include steaming indoor or outdoor baths known as onsens where you can relax and experience the beauty of the snow without shivering in the cold.

After 13 weeks of frigid cold and prolonged darkness, the snow begins to melt revealing plant life and a multitude of animals emerge from hibernation. As the temperature begins to change, we can sense the knock of spring at our front door steps, itching in excitement for what the new season has to bring.

When we begin to toss our worn out winter boots, mittens and scarves into the back of our closets we start to appreciate the freshness and beauty that comes with a new season.

A new season always resembles a renewal in my eyes.

It is like waking up from a long night of rest, ready to take on a new day while leaving the past behind and embracing the time ahead. There is so much beauty in four seasons that it always leaves us excited for the next adventure. Whether it is shopping for a new wardrobe or creating a list of future sites to visit, it is all very new and refreshing. We are setting aside the hot ramen and dining in at the nearest conveyer belt sushi establishment following an afternoon walk in the park. If you’re looking for something to do but need help finding amazing places to visit, you can take a trip with Misawa ITT this season. Signing up for trips is easy and Misawa ITT is conveniently located inside the Misawa Club.

Explore somewhere like Matsushima Bay which is a popular site in Japan located down south near Sendai. You can relax on a ferry boat and adventure around as you explore over 260 pine-clad islands.

Another popular place to visit is Hiraizumi in Iwate Prefecture where you can cruise down Geibikei Gorge, an amazing site that has been carved out by the Satetsu River, with cliffs towering overhead at heights of 50-100 meters.

March is right around the corner from cherry blossom season. This is when spring fully shapes all it has to offer. In Japan, cherry blossoms are called sakura, a special flower for the people and the country.

These blossoms are symbolic of spring, a time of renewal, and the fleeting nature of life.

“Hanami” is a tradition that vcan be traced back at least a thousand years and literally means “watching blossoms.” Don’t miss out on the chance to see the breath-taking blossoms all around Hirosaki Castle right here in Aomori Prefecture!

Misawa ITT offers an exclusive trip to the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival including transportation and entrance to the park. The cherry blossoms located at Hirosaki Park are famed as one of the best cherry blossom sights in Japan. Aside from what you will see on these incredible trips, cherry blossoms bloom all over Misawa Air Base and locally in Misawa City. Now let’s put on our light weight coats and tennis shoes so we can embrace all the serenity and breathtaking outdoor sites Japan has to offer during spring.

et your five point check at the Pit Stop Garage! It has been a long winter and it's not over yet. Don't let your critical items go unchecked on your car, as it may end up leaving you stranded. Stop by or call 226-9486 to make an appointment for a five point check.

Pit Stop Garage

Five Point Check

Tires

Belts

Lights

We check the treads and conditions to determine whether they need to be replaced now or in the near future. The tires will be inspected for tire pressure, cracks in the tread or shoulder, and for uneven wear.

Specialists will also make sure that the tires themselves aren’t showing signs of a bigger issue such as alignment, tire balance or need of rotation.

The belts are different in every car but all need replacing eventually.

This check determines whether the belts are loose, worn down or cracked. If you notice any noise or issues with the belts in your car, this check can look into the issue.

We check all the lights to make sure they are functioning properly and that none of the bulbs are out.

If bulbs need to be replaced, you may purchase bulbs at the Pit Stop Garage and we can replace it for you! Bulbs and labor vary in price.

Hoses

Fluids

The radiator has two hoses that connect to the top and bottom tanks. The upper hose is where the fluid comes from the engine and the bottom hose cycles the fluid back into the engine. Inspecting the quality of the hoses is important because after time they wear down. If the hose is deformed or has a hole, then the hose needs to be replaced.

Maintaining all of the fluids in your car is a “must-do” for increasing the longevity of your car on top of other things. Anti-freeze or coolant, brake fluid, engine oil, transmission oil, power steering fluid and windshield washer fluid are checked. These are not oil changes or fluid flushes, the levels are checked and topped off, all for $6 regardless of how much fluid is used.

My favorite part of working for Youth programs is getting to listen to what the community needs and being able to provide that for the teens and youth. I love to provide and share new experiences and opportunities with them.

What do you wish the Misawa community knew about your programs?

What is your favorite memory working for Youth programs?

I wish the community knew that we have a unique set of programs!

We are youth and teen led.

Whatever the youths and teens want to do or what they need, we do our best to provide that opportunity or experience for them. We are always open to suggestions and love to just see them having a great time.

My favorite memory from Youth programs has been getting to watch the teens fearlessly pick up skiing and snowboarding for the first time and absolutely rock it.
