All about Aomori - Must see spots in Aomori | Japan Travel Guide
Area Characteristics
Aomori Prefecture which is at the northern tip of the main island of Honshu is surrounded on three sides by ocean and once you cross Tsugaru Strait, you will come to Hokkaido up north. It is one of Japan’s areas of heavy snowfall and even in the summer, it is rare for temperatures to go beyond 30 degrees Celsius. Beginning with the virgin forest expanse of Shirakami-Sanchi which has been recognized as a World Heritage site, the prefecture has many examples of nature including Lake Towada, the Hakkoda Mountains and the Shimokita Peninsula. The Seikan Tunnel which links Honshu with Hokkaido is the world’s 2nd longest tunnel next to Europe’s Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland.
Major Sites
Hirosaki Castle is one of the symbolic spots in Aomori. Between late April and early May, many visitors come and appreciate the cherry blossoms at the Hirosaki Sakura Festival held at Hirosaki Park. If you want to fully savor Mother Nature, then places such as Shirakami-Sanchi, Oirase Stream, Lake Towada and the Hakkoda Mountains are popular. The Aomori Nebuta Festival is held in August but the Nebuta Warasse Museum which is dedicated to nebuta floats is open all year round. There are also plenty of other sightseeing sites including Mt. Osore which is known as one of Japan’s 3 Great Sacred Grounds alongside Mt. Hiei and Mt. Koya, Furofushi Onsen which has an attractive open-air bath alongside the coast, the Sannai-Maruyama site which is the largest archaeological site from the Jomon Era, and the Aomori Museum of Art.
Food
One famous product in Aomori is its apples which boast the largest shipping rate in Japan. For regional cuisine, there is senbei jiru (rice cracker soup), hittsumi soup, and jappa jiru which is a fish dish. There are also other popular dishes such as kaiyaki miso which goes well with rice, maguro don, Towada barayaki which is known to be the soul food of Towada, and a clear soup with sea urchin and abalone known as ichigo ni.
Transportation
It’s common to head for Aomori Prefecture from Tokyo by Shinkansen (Bullet Train), so a ride on the Tohoku Shinkansen will take a minimum of 3 hours to reach Aomori Station. Driving through the prefecture by rental car is convenient.
Accommodations
There are accommodations available near Aomori Station which is a handy base for sightseeing, Hirosaki located near Shirakami-Sanchi, the Lake Towada vicinity, Hachinohe and other areas.

Cherry blossom in Kakunodate 秋田・角館の桜(sakura)祭り 武家屋敷・桧木内川堤 角館観光 Samurai houses
撮影：2013年５月10日。今でも桜並木と武家屋敷の町並みが残る角館は、江戸時代に佐竹藩の支藩が置かれた町。各家屋敷のシダレザクラは、今から350年前、京都から迎えたお姫さまのお嫁入り道具の中にあった3本の苗木が最初。それが元となって長い年月を経て、今日まで残る「角館のしだれ桜」になったと言われている。樹齢300年以上の老樹を含む町内には約400本あり、162本が国の天然記念物に指定されて華麗に咲き乱れる。「みちのくの小京都」と呼ばれるだけあり、町並みが武家屋敷の黒板塀が続き、江戸時代の城下町にタイムスリップしたかのように歩いて楽しめる。桜はシダレザクラで、木立が大きいのが特徴。

Cherry blossom in Kakunodate
Kakunodate is a former castle town in the eastern region of Akita.
And it is the location of one of the Tohoku Region's most popular cherry blossom spots.
Three-hundred fifty years ago, a noble lady from Kyoto brought as part of her dowry three saplings.
From those humble beginnings many years have passed, and those saplings have become the famous Weeping Cherries of Kakunodate. Delicate pink blossoms shine against the black boards of samurai mansion walls, making the town a study of elegant contrasts.
The river that runs through the town is lined with cherry trees, the pride of the district.
