The Best Autumn Activities in Japan! (24 hrs in Aomori, Japan’s Apple Prefecture)

🍎 “A” is for autumn, Aomori, Akita, and apples in Japan!

Autumn is the best time to visit Japan, but not just for autumn leaves! In today’s Japan travel vlog, we’re taking a one day trip to Aomori, the apple prefecture, where autumn means peak apple picking season!

When you mention Aomori to anyone in Japan, their first thought will likely be about apples as this is where famous varieties like the Fuji apple and Crispin apple were first produced, making apple picking the best autumn activity to try in Aomori! You can experience apple picking at Hirosaki Apple Park between August and November, but you can enjoy their apple goods like apple curry, cider, pies, and snacks year-round too!

Watch to see more of Japan’s top apple producing city, Hirosaki, the autumnal countryside of the Tohoku region, and find out where to try the most aesthetic apple pie in Japan!
