THE AOMORI
EXPERIENCE

ᯓ FIRE, ICE, AND ANCIENT WOODS ᯓ

JAPAN.GG Insight: Aomori is the ultimate destination for "Raw Japan"—from the world's heaviest snowfall to giant glowing festival floats.

Aomori is the Northern Apex. Home to the Shirakami Sanchi (UNESCO) beech forests and the legendary Nebuta Matsuri, it offers a high-energy contrast to the quiet beauty of the south.

🏮The Fire: Nebuta Matsuri

Every August, Aomori City explodes with massive, hand-painted paper floats. These "warrior lanterns" are a testament to the region's artistic grit and communal spirit.


📍Sukayu Onsen (National Recreation Onsen Resort)


❄️The Ice: Hakkōda & Sukayu

Aomori is famous for Sukayu Onsen, a 300-year-old hot spring with a 1,000-person bath. In winter, the surrounding Hakkōda Mountains become home to "Snow Monsters"—trees encased in thick ice and rime.
