Aomori: Japan's Most Underrated Food & Travel Experience

[@boxerblake1]

After three trips to Japan, Aomori has been my favourite. I sat by the ocean having a beer & listening to the waves almost every night.

[@tokyokenchan]

Oh that's nice Aomori became your favorite spot. And that sonds like the best way to spend the time appreciating being there. :)

[@Direwoof]

Teh ppl in Akita I like more than Aomori people. Aomori ppl tend to be a bit more rowdy and loud shouting and such but not in a mean way. Akita much more reserved and quiet people.

[@cissymissy8079]

How lovely..I am actually right now looking at a trip with the JR East pass all the way up to Aomori

[@tokyokenchan]

@@cissymissy8079 Oh great! There are major sight seeing spots in walking distance around Aomori station, so that is a plus for train travelers. :)

[@cissymissy8079]

@@tokyokenchan Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing the Tohoku region

[@AlanVByrnes]

Aomori I really want to visit even more here now thanks to you again Ken Chan!! 🤩🤩🤩 chill and laid back people, delicious food and drink, beautiful place,!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@tokyokenchan]

Such a beautiful country japan❤

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching. :)

[@swissfoodie3542]

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.

[@tokyokenchan]

Yes, Aomori is so big (in my Japanese perspective). I've been to Hachionhe, but I didn't see that market. I need a week maybe just in Aomori to see Oirase, Hakkoda, Hirosaki, Mt.Osorezan.. :) Thank you for watching again.

[@kuri9573]

[@jlhdvll1974]

Dear Kenchen San, Your videos are absolutely the best.👏 Thank you very much

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you very much for your kind message. I hope you are doing well. :)

[@heatherlegary7453]

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!

[@lavenderamberli]

My friend visited Aomori during cherry blossom season and he said it was incredibly beautiful! Thank you for showing us Aomori!

[@tokyokenchan]

Oh that's what I'd like to see someday too! Thank you for watching. :)🌸

[@lillygirl7238]

Such a beautiful place. Arigato for sharing this area!👏🏼😎💕🌺🍍

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching Lilly san! Aomori is a great place to visit.

[@MelsGardenJapanStart2024]

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.

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching. That's fantastic you live in Aomori. I'd like to explore more of Aomori in near future. :)

[@Ireland00001]

Great video! Thank you for the information about Aomori

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@dankhristopherlibo-on817]

The place looks interestingly beautiful. I look forward to visit this area in the near future. I also love your documentation on this trip 👍. Many thanks for sharing this video 👍

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching Dan san! I'm glad to hear you liked the video. Aomori is a great area to stroll around in any season. :)

[@michiganwannarbor3255]

I can’t wait to go to northern Japan. I’ve been to Tokyo plenty of times.

[@tokyokenchan]

I hope you can explore Aomori when you visit next time. :)

[@KevinandDayle]

Thanks! Enjoying your video that go outside the usual suspects site like places in Tokyo and Kyoto. Japan had so much more to offer!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you so much for your warm support Kevin san Dale san! I agree there are many places I like to introduce and I need to make 4-5 videos just about Aomori. Thank you again. :)

[@dazdragon445]

Ken, thank you for showing this beautiful area. I still haven't been this far North

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching. They have good foods so you might like it there. :)

[@firefangz]

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!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching Ryuga san! Aomori city is a walkable city and it was great these facilities are in front of Aomori station. :)

[@jeighteen8297]

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.

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you Jamie san. Yes, the foods in Aomori are amazing. Need a week to see everything in Aomori, but I'd like to do it someday. :)

[@effie-Toronto]

Great video Kenchan

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching and your message. :)

[@postielinley1]

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

[@tokyokenchan]

Ohhh I didn't that mascot. ^^ I wonder if they had key chains. I'll look for next time.

[@cassiopeia4015]

Nice video. Aomori looks very interesting. I'll have to research the area more. Take care.

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you. I'd like to make more videos of Tohoku area eventually. :)

[@nikoladelakirk]

Never been there but I will probably go next time I come!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you Nikola san! I hope you enjoy Aomori. :)

[@kapilachandrabharathi7134]

Hello Kenchan Just watching Japan weather Hope you are not planning a walk Too hot😊😊😊

[@tokyokenchan]

[@OmnipresentOneness]

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.
