    Aomori Pref. Aomorishi Yasukata 2-7-18
    A Shinto shrine dedicated to the Munakata Sanjo-shin, the three female children of Amaterasu the sun goddess; the shrine is located on ground considered the birthplace of Aomori City. The shrine provides worshippers with safe journeys. The shrine's popular omamori charms are decorated with a cute depiction of rhinoceros auklets, birds which are called utou in Japanese.

    A small Shinto shrine tucked away just off the main street. A tranquil garden and beautiful pond. Was well worth seeking out on a hot afternoon while waiting for the Nebuta parade to start.

    Aomori Aomori-shi Nagashima 2-13-5

    拝殿にすすむと、内から明かりが漏れています。さらに近づくとねぶたが中に有るのが分かりました。最初見たときはびっくりというより腰を抜かすほどの驚きでした。言い方は悪いかもしれませんが、お化けと最初思ってしまいました。どうやら奉納されたねぶたのようです。10世紀末に創建された歴史ある神社です。

    Aomori Aomori-shi Oki 5-5-5

    結構、古くからあるようですが、よくある地元の稲荷神社で宝物などがあるわけではありません。社は小さいですが、社務所などもちゃんとあります。

Aomori Areas

around-area-map

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.
