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.

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. :)

[@kuri9573]

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching. I hope you can visit Aomori. 🍎

[@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. :)

[@supernatural9r406]

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. :)

[@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. :)

[@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]

Thank you for watching Alan san! I hope you can visit Aomori too! As you said, foods are amazing from Aomori. :)

[@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. :)

[@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. :)🌸

[@nikoladelakirk]

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

[@tokyokenchan]

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

[@dankhristopherlibo-on817]

[@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. :)

[@junjinsh]

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

[@tokyokenchan]

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@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!

[@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.

[@OmnipresentOneness]

This looks lovely Kenchan. I must add this to my next itinerary. Thanks for the great idea!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you! Aomori is a great place to explore. 👍

[@kapilachandrabharathi7134]

[@maxbirsa]

[@prettyblue3879]

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.

[@Food4thought1234]
