Most tourists in the area either bring or rent cars. Getting around without your own set of wheels is not easy, especially off-season.
Intermittent buses do connect the main towns. If you travel by bus, be sure to pick up an Aomori Card (available to passport-showing foreigners only) in either Aomori or Mutsu's tourist office for 50% discounts on travel.
The other (often faster) option is hitchhiking. Be prepared for long waits, though, as many roads on the peninsula are very lightly trafficked, even in high season.
On the west side of the peninsula, ferries run between Wakinosawa, Sai and several points in between.
