Giant Neputa Floats, Retro Onsen & a Strange Pot-Filled Restaurant in Hirosaki, JAPAN🇯🇵

Hello, I’m Ai — not AI!
Today, I’m going to show you Hirosaki City in Aomori, at the very north of Japan’s main island!
We’ll visit a retro restaurant loved by locals, a roadside station where you can enjoy fresh seafood and gelato, a traditional festival performance at a local museum, and even a hot spring used by local people every day.
