Aomori City/Festival excitement fills the city! Experience the Aomori Nebuta Festival in the Bay Area

The whole city is in a festival mood to enjoy the short summer to the fullest.

When you visit the Bay Area, the Aomori City Shinmachi Shopping Street, which stretches from Aomori Station, is a must-see. In addition to selling Nebuta and Haneto goods, you can also rent Haneto costumes before the festival begins, so just walking through the streets will make you feel even more excited about the festival.

Summer in Aomori is not just about the Aomori Nebuta Festival. Yomiya, where night stalls are lined up near shrines and temples in the city, is a custom held on the eve of the temple's annual festival from late afternoon to night in summer. Depending on the location, not only food stalls but also dance and musical offerings are held, and the festival is a huge success with many people attending.

How about enjoying Aomori's hot and short summer by walking around the city, including the Bay Area, and interacting with local people?
