    Aomori: Japan’s Most Underrated Food & Travel Experience



    Aomori: Japan’s Most Underrated Food & Travel Experience

    Aomori is in a northern tip of Honshu island of Japan, facing Hokkaido over Tsugaru straight. Aomori is famous for Nebuta festival, apple, and delicious sea foods. There is a lot to see near the station, so that was a plus for travelers getting around by trains and buses. This is an introduction to Aomori.

      Definitely need to plan a future trip to North Japan. The Nebuta you showed are amazing, really beautiful pieces of art. Thanks for the video as always Kenchan!

      Thank you Kengo for this wonderful video. Aomori looks really beautiful, and its sad that you couldnt spend more time there. The ryokan you stayed at, looks really nice. I wish to visit Aomori, mainly because I want to visit the Tatehana Wharf Morning Market on sundays (in Hachinohe), as its the biggest morning market in Japan. And because I love fish and seafood.

      Another great video Kengo-San. Tohoku is missed by so many tourists, who focus on the whole Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka scene.

      I didn't get the chance to visit Aomori on my last trip, going straight up to Hakodate from Sendai instead but I'd love to go back.

      I've never seen so many apple related products in all my life as I did in Aomori, and most of them were delicious.

      I'm glad to see you enjoyed your time there.

      Nyangostar is a mascot for Aomori. He is an apple cat the that also plays drums. The name is a ‘play’ on Ringo Starr from The Beatles .. of course the word Ringo リンゴ is also Apple in Japanese

      Thank you for showing Aomori! I’m an Australian living in Aomori. It’s a smaller city and not as popular as many other tourist destinations but, as you said, it has great food and onsens, and the Nebuta festival in August is fantastic.

      A Huge Nebuta Art will be hand maden by a Nebuta Artist. There are about 17 nebuta Artist who make the new nebuta art for competing the prizes every year for the nebuta festival held on 8/2-8/7 every year in Aomori city. You will see about the 23 huge nebuta arts in the festival and guess which will be awarded. The 3 or 4 nebuta arts that won the award will be placed in WARASSE nebuta museum which you can find it 2 minutes walk from Aomori station. Every year new awarded nebuta arts will be replaced in the museum. Other nebuta arts that did not win the award will be dismantled next day of the festival (oh no！) The cost of making a huge nebuta by an artist will be about $200,000. The nebuta festival is known as the most expensive moving museum in the world, for the entire cost only for the 23 nebuta arts will be $6,600,000 every year.

      We were in Aomori this past summer, during the Nebuta Festival. Wow! We found the people were kind, the city easy to navigate, and the festival was amazing! The parade was the best!

      Wow!! love your video, its full of very helpful tips and the maps showing train transport route is superb. thanks for introducing the places and highlights of aomori. please do visit and post more about places/towns in japan that are not as well known to foreign tourists. i've been to Japan more than 5 times visiting the well known places like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Uji, Hiroshima, Miyajima, South Hokkaido, Okinawa, Fukuoka, Kinosaki, Kanazawa, Takayama, etc. There is still so much more of Japan to discover and I'm looking forward to visit more parts of Japan.

      Hope you will visit Aomori again and introduce more in Part 2 video
