    Located at an elevation of 1,011 meters, the Ohanabeyama Observatory is the highest observation deck in Lake Towada. The observatory overlooks the whole of Lake Towada and, if the weather conditions are right, the skylines of Mt. Iwate and Hachimantai City can also be seen from this vantage point.

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.
