- "The lighthouse in Higashidori Village, Aomori Prefecture, is the tallest brick lighthouse in Japan, with a panoramic view of the Tsugaru Straits from the top of 128 steps. The surrounding pastureland is grazed by ""cold-riding horses,"" which are farm horses only found in this area, and provide a lovely sight for visitors."
Aomori Areas
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.
