Iwaki’s eighth station, the Tsugaru Iwaki Skyline, as well as a lift to the Mt. Chokai crater, so it’s perfect for an easy climb and relaxing walk.

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.
