【Japanese Trip】things to do in Aomori

Welcome to what the Japan. The theme of this issue is Amorei, land of apples and nebuta. Tradition and nature in the northernmost part of Japan. There are 47 prefectures in Japan, each with its own unique charm. In this issue, one of these prefectures is introduced in depth. So, let’s go. This channel introduces a variety of information on Japanese culture, history, tourism, etc. Amorei Prefecture is one of the prefectures in the Tohoku region. It is also the northernmost prefecture in Honshu, Japan’s main island. Honchu, by the way, is this part of Japan’s largest island. It is the seventh largest island in the world. The population of Aomorei Prefecture is approximately 1.2 million. It is the 31st in Japan. Its area is approximately 9,600 km, the eighth largest in Japan. It is one of the largest prefectures in Japan. The prefectural capital is Aomori City. Aomorei city, Hinohei city and Hiroaki city are home to 50% of the population. Amorei is accessible from Tokyo by air from Haneda airport to Ayomorei airport in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. It also takes about 3 hours and 10 minutes by Shinkansen. Incidentally, there are two ways to get to Hokkaido. either by ferry across the sea or through a tunnel called the Saken tunnel. The Saken tunnel is a tunnel built further beneath the ocean floor and at approximately 54 km long, it is the longest undersea tunnel in the world. I had thought that the tunnel ran under the sea. Ayamorei is located at the northern end of Honshu, mainland Japan, so it snows a lot in winter and is relatively cool in summer. Amorei has many places to enjoy nature and culture. Here are five sightseeing spots that are particularly popular among foreign travelers. Hiasaki Castle built in the Ido period 1,603 to 1,867. It is the only castle in the Tohoku region with an existing castle tower. A tenshukaku or castle keep is a uniquely Japanese castle of this shape. Especially in spring, 2,600 cherry trees are in full bloom and the Hiroaki Sakura Festival attracts many tourists from all over Japan. Ourasi stream. This 14 km mountain stream flows out of Lake Tawada and is a treasure trove of natural beauty. Visitors are sure to be impressed by the formations and the flow of the water which cannot be created by human hands. It is said to be a place where the sheer beauty of nature makes you want to take a deep breath. You can enjoy fishing and hiking here. During the season of fresh green and autumn leaves, the area is crowded with people enjoying strolling and cycling. Almori Nabuta Festival. The Nabuta Festival is the first thing that comes to mind when one mentions Almori. Held every August. It is one of the three major festivals in the Tohoku region. The other two festivals are introduced in separate videos, so please look for them. The power of the nabbuta, huge lighted puppets parading through the streets, leaves a strong impression even on first timers. Nabuta are mainly about Japanese history, kabuki scenes, and Aamorei legends. In addition, an application for naba is now being developed. It will show you where and what kind of naba are there in five languages. This is a great relief. Sanai Marama ruins. This is the site of a large Joman era settlement and is a valuable place to experience life in those days. Check out this video to see what the Jan period was like. This form of dwelling, a pit dwelling, etc. has been restored and is recommended for history buffs. They once tried to build a baseball field on this land, but the construction was halted when the ruins were found. It is quite large among Jon era settlements, but no one seems to know yet why it is now a site like this. Mysterious, isn’t it? Osarizan, one of the three most sacred places in Japan. Its desolate volcanic terrain and the smell of sulfur create a unique atmosphere. Local legend has it that people go to Osar Razan after they die. Also, Itaco come to Osarison during festivals. Itaco are psychics who can hear the voices of the dead through the power of spirits. It is a popular tourist destination for those seeking spiritual experiences. Here are five must-ry local dishes of Aomorei. Shellfish miso. This is a traditional dish of the Sugaru region where scallop shells are used like a pot and baked with miso paste, eggs, and green onions. This dish has been eaten since the Ido period. It is perfect for cold winters and is often made at home. Sambe Jiru, a specialty of the Hachino region. Senbe Jiru is a local nab made by boiling special wheat crackers. In the past, when rice was in short supply due to severe cold damage, these wheat crackers were very useful. The glutenous texture of the crackers and the chicken and vegetable broth are a perfect match. Japa. Japa means something to be thrown away in the local dialect. Japajeru is a miso based soup that uses the entire fish head, bones, skin, and other parts that would normally be discarded. Nowadays, it is also a New Year’s dish. A hearty and nutritious dish. Eigameni. This is a local dish made by chopping squid legs and intrails into small pieces, mixing them with vegetables, and deep frying them. Each family has its own way of preparing it and it is a sole food that reflects the atmosphere of the family. It is popular with both children and adults and goes well with both rice and alcohol. Apple sweets. Aomorei is Japan’s largest producer of apples. Apple pies, apple juice, and various other sweets made from apples can be enjoyed throughout the city. Of course, apples by themselves are also very delicious. Amorei Prefecture is a region where the original Japanese landscape and traditional culture still remain strong. The natural beauty of the Four Seasons and the local food culture are attractive. Access from Tokyo is also surprisingly convenient, making it perfect for a weekend trip. Powerful festivals such as Neibuta, cherry blossoms in Hiroasaki, and the sound of water in Oasi will soothe your soul. Once you visit, you will definitely want to come back again.
