Aomori City/A moving experience in the bay area where the charm of Aomori is condensed

Easily experience Aomori City's festival culture and food culture

A must-see when talking about Aomori City is the Aomori Nebuta Festival, a traditional fire festival that represents Japan. The Aomori Nebuta Festival, held from August 2nd to 7th every year, is a traditional event in which three-dimensional floats called lanterns called Nebuta are paraded through the city accompanied by lively music. A spot that conveys the realism and charm of such a festival is the Aomori city cultural tourism exchange facility ''Nebuta House Wa Rasse'', which is located in front of Aomori Station. You can see up close the large Nebuta floats that were operated during the festival, and even touch them. In addition, a corner introducing the history of the festival conveys the passion that the citizens have for the Nebuta Festival.

If you want to visit ''Wa Rasse'', ''Aspam'', and ''Hakkodamaru'', we recommend a great value 3 museum tour ticket.

And if you want to enjoy Aomori gourmet food and shopping for specialty products, be sure to stop by A-FACTORY, which also has a cider workshop attached. Inside the hotel, there is a restaurant where you can enjoy hamburgers, omelet rice, and galettes made with local ingredients, as well as a sweets shop where you can enjoy gelato and freshly baked apple pie. Additionally, there is a marche selling processed apple products, seasonal local ingredients, sweets, alcohol, and more, so you can purchase souvenirs that are a little different from the standard ones.

Enjoy the charm of Aomori in the bay area, which has many attractions.
