Area

  • Ishigedo
    Travel / Tourism
    Aomori Pref. Towadashi Okuse
    The name Ishigedo means “stone hut” in the local dialect. The stone building, made of massive rocks supported by two Japanese Judas trees, is spoken of in legends as the home of a woman bandit known as Kijin no Omatsu.

  • Tsuta no Nananuma
    Travel / Tourism
    Towada-shi, Aomori-ken
    This is a scenic spot with the seven swamps of Tsutanuma, Kagaminuma, Tsukinuma, Hyoutannuma, Suganuma, Naganuma and Akanuma. Of the seven, only Lake Akanuma is far away, at two kilometers. The other six are essentially connected, and can be seen along the Numameguri no Komichi trail. The full trail is about three kilometers long and a tour of all the lakes takes about an hour. The area is surrounded by a beech forest called the Towada Sea of Trees, so the entire landscape is a thing of beauty.

  • Suiren-numa Swamp
    Travel / Tourism
    Aomori Pref. Towadashi Houryou
    This swamp got its name because of the Suiren water lilies flourishing here. It’s calm atmosphere and view of the Hakkoda Mountain Range make it an attractive stop, and in the fall leaf season the surface of the water is painted red and yellow with reflections of the nearby trees.

  • Choshi Otaki Waterfall
    Travel / Tourism
    Aomori Towada-shi Okuse
    "This famous waterfall, seven meters tall and 20 meters wide, is located on the main branch of Oirase Stream and is the biggest waterfall on the stream. Because the falls' strong flow prevents fish from going upstream and reaching Lake Towada, it is also known as ""Fish-Stopping Falls."" There is a walking path in the area which makes it possible for visitors to get right up next to the falls."
  • Makadoiwa Rock
    Travel / Tourism
    Aomori Pref. Towadashi Okuse
    This is a rock cliff beside National Route 102, named one of Japan’s Best Roads, and Oirase, and it was apparently created by volcanic activity in the northern Hakkoda Range. This is a little known spot to take in the scenery of the Oirase Valley, and enjoy its beauty through all four seasons. There’s a bus stop nearby, so it’s easy to reach.

  • Mirokuno Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Aomori Pref. Sannoheguntakkomachi Natsuzaka Natsusaka
    This is a 30 meter waterfall surrounded by thick beech woods. The thin white strands of water running down the bare rocks look like thin somen noodles, earning it the nickname of Somen Falls. We especially recommend summer, for the rich green of the forest leaves, and fall for the beautifully colored foliage.

    Aomori Pref. Towadashi Okuse Towadakohanyasumiya 486
    Located on the shore of Lake Towada, this Japanese diner serves regional dishes made with kokanee landlocked salmon from the lake, noodle dishes, rice bowls, the restaurant's own apple pie, and more. Emphasizing freshness in its kokanee, the restaurant's kokanee sashimi, made with fish caught that day, is wonderfully taste. Depending on the day's catch, the restaurant may run out of stock early.

    ヒメマスが食べたくて平日の12時半頃に訪問しました。 お店の半分が食堂、半分がお土産屋さんです。 食堂はほぼ満席でしたがすぐ座ることができました。 ひめますづけ丼を注文。 ひめますはくせがなく美味しかったです。 バラ焼を食べている人もたくさんいました。

  • Kumoino Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Aomori Pref. Towadashi Okuse
    A 20 meter tall waterfall located along Oirase Stream viewed as one of the most scenic locations in the prefecture. Of the waterfalls on Oirase Stream, this one boasts a particularly large water volume, and the sight of the water gushing over steep cliffs to cascade down the three stages of the falls is impressive and moving.

  • Sannohe Castle Site / Shiroyama Park

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.
