Hirosaki Neputa Festival弘前ねぷたまつり
Some 80 gorgeous neputa illuminated sculptures are drawn through the city streets to cries of yayado!, a summer tradition in Hirosaki. Stunning kumi-neputa are 3D depictions of famous characters and scenes, while ogi-neputa resemble folding fans in their shape and are decorated with images of gallant warriors on the front and beautiful women on the back. Cute kingyo-neputa are modeled after Tsugaru-nishiki goldfish and are carried by children.

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.
