    The Tachineputa Museum which stores and exhibits Tachineputa (standing floats) that are used in the Tachineputa Matsuri festival is also a place where visitors can see the creation process of the floats and have a go at traditional local Tsugaru crafts.

    We came from Aomori to Goshogawara for the Stove Train and Tachineputa Museum. The journey takes about 1 hour 20 mins (varies between train schedules). The museum is 10-15mins easy and straight walk...

    I grew up in Aomori but it was my first visit to his birth place. I could imagine this place looked like a modern castle surrounded by rice fields, nothing to obscure the views from this third story...

    A museum which uses physical models, informational panels, and videos to document the Seikan Tunnel, the world's longest undersea tunnel at 53.85 kilometers. Visitors can get a taste of what the massive tunnel construction site once felt like in an exhibition space which consists of an actual portion of the original work pit.

    本州の果て竜飛岬にある青函トンネルに関するミュージアムです。一般の展示も青函トンネルの難工事ぶりが伝わってきて良いのですが、体験坑道はさらに良いです。ケーブルカーで地底に降りていく感覚は非日常的で非常に良かったですね。

    Aomori Pref. Tsugarushi Ushigatachou Washinosawa 147-1
    A magical Shinto shrine dedicated to large harvests, maritime safety, and business prosperity which has attracted worshipers since ancient times. In addition to locals, people from far and wide come to visit the shrine. The shrine has a beautiful Japanese garden in which seasonal flowers bloom. The shrine's 1,000 torii, countless red torii gates arranged one after another to form a tunnel, gives the shrine a mystical atmosphere.

    We went during the week and even though the cherry blossoms were out in places like Hirosaki that wasnt the case here so maybe that is why we had the place to ourselves. The gardens by the Torri...

    Aomori Tsugaru-shi Kizukuri Wakamidori 59-1
    This museum exhibits artifacts excavated from the Kamegaoka site as well as those from other sites within the city and prefecture. At a reconstructed pit dwelling, dolls crafted to look just like people from the Jomon period (14,000-300 BC) recreate life as it was during the time, and even speak to visitors in their ancient language. A replica of the goggle-eyed dogu clay figurine on display at the Tokyo National Museum is currently being exhibited.

    北海道・北東北の縄文遺跡群のユネスコ世界文化遺産登録と関係があるのか１０月中旬から１１月上旬まで入場料２００円のところが無料でラッキー。名前のとおり、展示物は軽め。スマホスタンプラリースポットにつき足を運ぶ人は多そう。まちおこしや観光誘客効果に期待できるか定かではありません。

Demonstrating surprisingly advanced technological prowess, lacquerware and glass balls from antiquity are also exhibited.

    つがる市の縄文遺跡「亀ヶ岡遺跡」の資料館です。今風の展示の仕方ではなく、少し古いタイプの展示の仕方という印象ですが、展示品は見応えがあります。アクセスは少し分かりづらい道を進むため、ちょっと不安になりました。

    "This museum exhibits materials related to the novel ""Return to Tsugaru"" by Osamu Dazai, one of the most famous novelists of the Showa era. A statue depicting the final scene stands on the hill where, at the novel's climax, Dazai and his old babysitter Take meet for the first time in 30 years. The museum contains panels with commentary on chronologies and photographs of Dazai Osamu and Take Koshino showing the lead-up to the work, which allow visitors to experience their world.

    Aomori Goshogawara-shi Minato Chidori 144-1
    This cultural property is representative of Goshogawara City. The building was designated as an important cultural property in 1978. It is notable for its practically unaltered use of the scale and style of the upper class farm houses of the Tsugaru region, the fact that the rear bedrooms are separated, and the use of double joist beams and unique walls since it was reconstructed following an earthquake. It is an important artifact and one of only a small number of structures within the prefecture that can be definitively dated.

    五能線五所川原駅から歩いて半時間、バスの五所川原営業所から歩いて十分という表示です。交通は不便な場所ですが、それだけに穴場と言えそうで宇。母屋の建坪だけで百十坪もあります。広い屋敷と、豪華な調度に目を奪われます。

    "This monument is located on a hill overlooking Tsugaru Strait. It was erected in honor of Sayuri Ishikawa's hit song, ""Winter Scenery of Tsugaru Straits."" If you push the red button on the front of the wave-shaped design, ""See, the northern reaches of Cape Tappi..."", a portion of verse two of the song, will play. With the combination of the beautiful scenery and the song playing in the background, this monument has become a famous landmark. The song plays so loudly as to even drown out the sound of the crashing waves, so do watch your ears!"

It is a representative work of Dazai's, and contains the passage ""This is the cul-de-sac of Honshu,"" from the novel ""Tsugaru,"" which is set in the Tsugaru peninsula. Tappi Fishing Port also contains other literary monuments, such as the Kawakami Santarou for the author Kawayanagi, and Yoshida Shoin, a philosopher from the end of the Edo period."

    鶴の舞橋へ向う途中に立寄りました。 つがる市街からはずれ、県道37号線から少し入った所にある神社で、鳥居をいくつかくぐった先に拝殿があります。 1576年に津軽為信が建立したのが始まりと言われ、後に津軽藩主の祈祷所だったそうです。 ご祭神は国家安穏や五穀豊穣などにご利益があるとされる誉田別尊で、こじんまりしている中にも格式の高さを感じました。

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.
