lowailing138 Says: August 2nd - 7thElaborately, colourfully decorated giant floats, pulled and pushed by tens of people, peraded around the city centre.This is the largest festival in Aomori, attracted people from far and wide.
Teledude Says: If you have a chance in August, head to the Nebuta Matsuri. It's a huge parade of handmade giant paper floats. Most have a warrior theme to them. As with any festival in Japan, there will be plenty of food, beverages, and stalls where you can buy just about anything. Also...
Teledude Says: Hanami in Japan is not to be missed! This is the quintessential Japanese tradition. Anywhere you go is absolutely fantastic and even the smallest little hamlet is likely to have a big do during this brief time. Hanami means cherry blossom viewing and the Japanese have this...
hassy Says: There is one of world haritage area.A report is necessary to climb a mountain in interior. Anyone can go a walk course of 120 minutes. Autumn is the best.I went after studying in a visitor center ,gate of corce to a anmon waterfall.
BellaMora Says: If you are into jacuzzies, you've got to try the Onsens (hot baths). It'll be an experience you'll never forget.If you dont mind being nude in a crowd, its for you. I probably cant post the pictures but I'll describe it for you. Imagine a jacuzzi with scenery like a lake,...
Sharrie Says: Embark on a 40-min boat ride from Nenokuchi to Towadako (the town). The sceneries around the lake is spectacular (especially during Fall).
1 Review and 1 Opinions Good hotel in Aomori, about 40 minutes drive from the Misawa Airport. Very nice staff, a great help...
1 Review and 2 Opinions Good hotel with reasonable facilities, including a good communal bath. Buffet breakfast was also...
The food was very good but the portions were Japanese size, that is to say they were tiny! We ordered the Lazagna, mixed grilled veggies, Pizza, spicy penne and some deserts...all were very small portions but very tasty, well the Lazagna was just OK really. Italian restaurants are supposed to be large portions and you just don't get that here in Japan...and I've been to many Italian places here. But the food is good, just don't expect real "Italian Family SIze" meals and expect high prices.
Actually, I think we were still hungry when we left
Favorite Dish: I would say the Dessert was very good..I had the Tirrimisu adn it was small but tasty, Robbie had a Pear pie or something and Melanie had a Chocolate mouse cake that was REALLY tiny and not at all worth it.

salisbury3933 Says: As of the end of 2010, Aomori is now connected to Tokyo by the bullet train. The Shinkansen network now extends from Kagoshima in the south to Shin-Aomori in the north, a distance of over 2000km.
Mr.Sparkle Says: Traveling through the Tohoku region can be as rewarding as it is frustrating. The area certainly holds many hidden delights but they remain troublesome to get to. Actually many locals will be ill informed of what their town has to offer and it will taking some real sleuthing...
Sharrie Says: It takes about 2 hrs 15 mins by the Hatsukari LEX (Limited Express) from Morioka to Aomori. This train ends at Hakodate which is another 2 hours from Aomori.About 5 hours by Tohoku Shinkansen from Tokyo.Tohoku JR Bus.It takes about 2+ hours from Aomori to Oirase (Nenokuchi)...
"Ekiben" Rail Station Box Lunch
RoseAmano Says: This is similar to "ikameshi" cuisine native to nearby Hakodate across the strait in Hokkaido. "Ikameshi" is boiled squid stuffed with rice boiled in squid broth. On the other side is broth-flavoured rice topped with steamed scallops sprinked with "ikura" salmon eggs, with...

Coffee of Oirase. Thought it's refreshing to have a drink named after a place. Taste ok but nothing great. Just something to capture the attention of tourists, I guess. Same price as all the other canned coffee.

No trip to Aomori prefecture would complete without a visit Osore-zan, the terrible mountain. So called because of its dismal surroundings, this is truly a place that is an eerie spectacle. The mountain is a dormant volcano so the landscape is charred and dead. The foul smell of sulfur hangs in the air, adding to visual assault of the lifeless landscape. On top of that it’s a bit of a haul from Aomori city with almost no real public transportation to get there. If you are willing to brave all that you will find an interesting outing, with blind mediators who will converse with the dead, for a price, multi colored pool (ranging from blood red to yellow to green), bubbling and steaming ground and stacks of rocks made by the souls of dead children. Truly a unique experience.
In order to go on the mountain you have to pay 500 yen to enter Osorezan-Bodaiji (may to Oct 6am to 6pm) the shrine on Osore-zan.
Osore-zan’s summer festival is held on July 20-24.

Sharrie Says: Wonder... what are being planted here? I noticed stretches of these while on the JR train enroute to Aomori.
Sharrie Says: This apple tree is found in the middle of the city indicating how important this crop is to the people of this area.
Sharrie Says: Try its apples. Apples are very popular in Japan. There's over 600 varieties! Northern Tohoku is famous as an apple-producing district. Being the most important crop, many events such as the Apple Marathon (A civic marathon where athletes run through apple orchards) & the...
Bicycles as mode of transportation.
Sharrie Says: Bicycles is a popular mode of transportation in the Tohoku region. This is my 1st encounter with such a huge bicycle parking lot!
Sharrie Says: AOMORI BAY BRIDGE: The 1st icon of Aomori that greets any visitor coming by train to Aomori.
