Aomori Higashitsugaru-gun Imabetsumachi Okawadai Kiyokawa 87-16

This roadside station is connected to Tsugaru-Futamata Station on the Tsugaru Line, right next to Okutsugaru-Imabetsu Station on the Hokkaido Shinkansen. Along with tourism information about Imabetsu Town, there is an introduction of the town, a Tsugaru peninsula exhibition corner, a market where local produce is sold, and restaurants. We recommend Mozuku Udon, which uses Imabetsu's specialty mozuku seaweed. We would also recommend the steak and yakiniku using Imabetsu-raised beef. You can also try the menu made with meat from the Okutsugaru Boar Farm.

Hotokegaura

Travel / Tourism

Sai village in Shimokita-gun, Aomori Prefecture

Hotokegaura is a series of impressive giant and oddly shaped rock formations extending about two kilometers along the coast. The crashing waves continually erode the rock face, and the resulting effects are mysterious and an amazing sight, especially given the contrast between the broad, blue sea and the gray rocks. It is believed that these rocks were created by undersea volcanic activity about 20 million years ago. While the rocks are visible from land, it is also possible to take an excursion boat to see them from the sea.

Aomori Areas

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.
