Aomori, Hirosaki and an Earthquake | Hoshino Resorts KAI Tsugaru

[@yokocorazon8798]

I really love and missed Aomori, specifically Hirosaki, thanks for your video. I hope I'll back in Aomori again.

[@barrettish]

Awesome that you've been! I hope you'll get to go again!

[@victorianaztec555]

Very beautiful...that painted wall behind the two musicians breath taking artwork! Enjoyed the video.

[@barrettish]

Thank you for watching and good eye!

Wow. What an awesome winter ❄️ weather experience. Few years ago when my bf and and I were in Japan, in our hotel waiting to down on the elevator; and bf looked at me and asked “Are we moving?” I responded “Yup”. The building was was swaying a little. When we are free to go back to Japan, I would like to visit next time during the winter. Thank you for sharing.

[@barrettish]

Yeah really nice weather we had! Sounds like you had an authentic time in Japan lol, yikes! Winter is a pretty good time to visit, clear skies!

[@DarinItamura]

Looks like an amazing and eventful trip Barrett. Glad you all were able to get home safely! Thanks as always for sharing your travels! ✈️

I was also there Aomori, Aomori is famous for its good apples.🍎

[@barrettish]

Nice! Yes, there were a lot of apples there.

Seemed like a fun trip! Where do you plan on going next? Will you come back to Hawaii at some point?

[@barrettish]

Definitely fun! I don't have any plans at the moment, at some point I want to revisit Kyushu since I lived there before. Returning to Hawaii is on my mind. I wish I could go for a visit in the meantime but with everything going on, it's kind of a hassle.

Since you still had power, I assume the quake epicenter wasn't too close to you. That's a good thing. One of the reasons why I left California was it was just getting too risky. My house was only about 20 miles from a branch of the San Andreas Fault, and the branch hadn't broken since the 1906 San Francisco quake. So far, it still hasn't, but it's inevitable, and I've been through enough quakes not to want to ride out a big one. Don't get too complacent about the safety of construction there. Anyone who saw Kobe after the 1995 earthquake knows that a large enough quake with an epicenter in the right place will take down even well built structures.

[@Nomarcaper]

Not to sound like it’s impossible for buildings to collapse, but that earthquake was over 25 years ago and 3/11 was 10 years ago. As someone studying civil engineering, the equipment and precautions are astronomically more advanced than they were then. Japan has always been the leading country for earthquake research.

[@barrettish]

Yeah for sure, strong but not invincible. Anyone along the Pacific rim should keep in mind the quakes, and then Hawaii for the tsunamis that can come after.

[@barrettish]

Japan's buildings are impressively strong against quakes for sure. , at least the more modern ones. Not invincible so we should keep that in mind, but if there's a quake and I had an option, I'd choose to be in a Japanese building over any other.

[@JustMilo702]

Thats crazy man

[@barrettish]

Yeah!

[@Tekhelet75]

The diamond shaped pattern makes me think of Ainu.

[@barrettish]

I'm not too familiar with that but I wonder if there is some connection... Aomori is up north after all.
