literal translation is 'terror mountain', isn't it? To my understanding, Oz[s]orezan is the waiting ground for those going up or down but have deeds left unfinished in this realm. What a place though? Horror or fear never came to mind the times visited though...
@fuzzynormal The description based upon the guide actually lists that the founder of the Buddhist temple there saw the dichotomy of"heaven" and "hell" (being the scenic lake and nearby forest as compared to the Lava Dome where most of the geothermal activity is located) as a proper analogy to the teachings of Buddhism. Never mind that the 8 peaks are arrayed much like a lotus pattern (Thus noble 8 fold path) . Personally, I find the place fascinating for its geothermal activity.
Thanks for the video. I went to Osorezan in early August, and your video really transmitted what I felt during my visit. It feels like if it were the end of the world.
Mmm I visited Osoresan last August and I have to say, it is one of my most cherished memories of my time in Japan. Its eerie, heavy, sad, but also beautiful...
what was the video when some workers were like digging for oil in the soviet union then that they heard voices or something like that and that they lowered a microphone down there and all you heard were people screaming?
Thanks. Our main producer Alicia performed the piano track and I arranged the music with other instruments and vocals. This location is really one of the more mystical places I've ever been on the planet. Anyone who can manage to go there should give it a chance. Very understated, very eerie, and very Japanese.

'Gateway to hell' is a bit over the top isn't it?

@lehtineb Maybe ask the Japanese. That's a literal translation of how they describe it based on some of their religious beliefs.

How much was the bus from mutsu to osorezan?

I can't recall the exact amount but I think it was under $7 US.
Make sure you get the return times back from Osorezan. THere are only 4 buses daily. Good luck and enjoy

I'm going on an archaeological dig in Aomori this July and Osorezan is one of the places we will be visiting. I can't wait.
