Aomori Awaits
Lying on the northern coast of Honshu across the Tsugaru Strait from Hokkaido, Aomori is the perfect stop over point for travelers heading to the northern island.
But it’s not just a convenient location that makes Aomori interesting. The quiet city is home to the Furukawa Fish Market where you can sample local seafood and the impressive Aomori Museum of Art.
From the city you can also explore the surrounding prefecture, with Hirosaki Castle and Hakkoda Ropeway two of the popular attractions there.
