    Juniko Walking Trails offer a full experience of the seasonal colors of Shirakami-Sanchi and with its few slopes and well-maintained woodchip trails it’s easy to walk as well. The scenery cleanses the soul with, beautiful ponds, ancient Japanese Judas trees and beeches dotting the woods, and one of Japan’s 100 Best Springs, Wakitsubo no Ike pond. The trails are open from early April to late November. It’s an hour drive from JR Juniko Station.

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.
