Cape Spots in Aomori Area

Area

  • Omazaki Cape
    Travel / Tourism
    Aomori Pref. Shimokitagunomamachi Oma Omataira
    Located on the northernmost tip of Honshu, Japan’s largest island, Omazaki Cape looks out over the Tsugaru Straits. There is a stone engraved with the words “This is the northernmost point of Honshu” and when the weather is clear one can look out and see Hokkaido’s Hakodate across the straits. Since Oma is famous for tuna, the giant statue of a tuna that represents fishing is a popular spot for commemorative photos.

    Aomori Pref. Higashitsugarugunsotogahamamachi Minmayatatsuhama
    Tappizaki Cape is located in the extreme north of the Tsugaru Peninsula—it is a cape which juts out into the Tsugaru Strait. “Tappizaki Lighthouse” located on this cape was also selected as one of the 50 Best Lighthouses in Japan. An esplanade is maintained in the environs of the cape, and when the climate is good, you can command a view of Tsugaru Strait and also of Matsumae Peninsula in Hokkaido. There are monuments such as the “literary monument of Osamu Dazai” which has a sentence from “Tsugaru” by Osamu Dazai carved on it, and there is also the song monument of “Tsugaru Kaikyo Fuyu-geshiki” (Waterscape of the Tsugaru Straits) sang by Sayuri Ishikawa.

  • Kodomari Cape
    Travel / Tourism
    Aomori Kitatsugaru-gun Nakadomarimachi
    "A cape located inside Tsugaru Quasi-National Park which can be reached by travelling west on Prefectural Route 111 to its endpoint. The cape sticks out of the west coast of the Tsugaru Peninsula into the Sea of Japan like a lion lying down. A shrine was erected here to pray for the safety of those involved in fishing, a thriving industry in the Kodomari area, and thus the cape is also known as ""Gongenzaki Cape."" This picturesque destination is considered one of Japan's two most beautiful capes alongside Cape Nomozaki on the Nagasaki Peninsula. Consisting of a precipitous cliff rising 229 meters above sea level, the cape has a walking path and visitors can enjoy a panoramic view extending from Mt. Iwaki all the way to distant Hokkaido. The cape is also counted as one of the ""12 Views of Kodomari"" which are derived from a Shichigon-zekku (qiyan jueju) poem Shuzan Arakawa, who later became a teacher at the Miyakonodo Meidokan, wrote after being moved by the beauty of the area."

Centuries-old stories of samurai at Kakunodate and the remains of millennia-old archaeological sites including the likes of Isedotai invite history buffs to delve into Aomori’s fascinating history. As the most northern prefecture on the Japanese mainland, Aomori enjoys a cooler climate, which makes it a welcome escape from the southern cities for combining castles, art galleries, and summer festivals with the great outdoors.
