    Aomori Nishitsugaru-gun Fukauramachi
    This museum is made in the style of an ancient log storehouse reminiscent of the Shosoin (treasure house). It was established in 1980 so as to properly convey the prospering local culture and history to future generations as part of a port town that inherited its culture from the Jomon period. From all over the area centered on the Ipponmatsu Ruins, they have on display artifacts from everyday life that have been classified as tools used in daily life, farming tools, mountain woodcutting tools, and fishing gear.

    国道101号沿い、深浦町役場のすぐそばにある小さなミュージアムです。これといって特筆すべき展示物はありませんでしたが、落ち着いた良いアトモスフィアが感じられました。個人的には、屋外敷地のはずれのほうにある猿神鼻洞門が非常に興味深かったですね。

  • Engaku-ji Temple
    Travel / Tourism
    Aomori Pref. Nishitsugarugunfukauramachi Fukaura Hamamachi 275
    A temple of the Shingon sect’s Daigo school of Buddhism, this was built in 807 as a temple dedicated to Kannon by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, the first Seii Taishogun (literally “great general” who subdues the barbarians). The temple enshrines a statue of the Eleven-faced Kannon Bosatsu which is said to be the work of Shotoku Taishi. People believed Maguchi Kannon watched over the entrance to port, and one time when sailors were caught in a storm they chopped off their topknot and offered prayers, and reportedly spotted a light coming from an old cryptomeria on the grounds which saved them. Sights not to be missed include those topknots tablets that were offered and boat-shaped ema (votive pictures), the Engakuji Yakushido-naizushi, a miniature shrine with double doors which is an important cultural property, and temple treasures including the image of Shaka Nyorai in Nirvana embroidered with the hair of 84,000 people and Sanjusan Kannon-zo.

  • Juniko Lakes
    Travel / Tourism
    Aomori Pref. Nishitsugarugunfukauramachi Matsukami National forest
    "This is the name given for the 33 lakes and swamps on the undulating plateau of Fukaura Town. A landslide caused by an earthquake in 1704 is said to have created the lakes from part of a stream becoming filled. The small lakes are hidden by the forest when seen from Okuzure located in the middle of Mt. Kuzure, and the name ""Juniko"" (12 lakes) comes from the fact that only 12 large ones can be seen. Lake Aoike, with its distinctive pure blue water that looks as if ink was spilled, is often given as a lake representing them all. The colors that change according to the season and time is the main attraction. In addition, you can also enjoy strolls while observing animals and plants that inhabit the surrounding forest."

    Aomori Nishitsugaru-gun Fukauramachi

    午後1時前に深浦駅に着きましたが、観光案内所は閉まっていました。そして、コインロッカー、コンビニ、レストランも（周辺も含めて）一切ありません。五能線を利用して観光する人にとってはとても不便でした。食べるとしたら、駅から徒歩15分くらいの、「海の駅ふかうら深浦まるごと市場」に行くとよいでしょう。

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.
