    Aomori Pref. Towadashi Okuse Towadakohanyasumiya
    Along with Osore-zan (on the Shimokita Peninsula), Towada-jinja Shrine is believed to be a sacred ground in shugendo (Japanese mountain asceticism incorporating Shinto and Buddhist concepts). As Tohoku’s leading power spot, it is also called “Uranaiba” since one’s fortune can be told here. Legend has it that if you make a wish and cast the “oyori-gami” paper that you received at the shrine into the lake, your wish will come true if the paper sinks down into the water.

    It was really cold during winter but we enjoyed the atmosphere! Go if you make your stop at Towada Lake!

    Aomori Pref. Tsugarushi Ushigatachou Washinosawa 147-1
    A magical Shinto shrine dedicated to large harvests, maritime safety, and business prosperity which has attracted worshipers since ancient times. In addition to locals, people from far and wide come to visit the shrine. The shrine has a beautiful Japanese garden in which seasonal flowers bloom. The shrine's 1,000 torii, countless red torii gates arranged one after another to form a tunnel, gives the shrine a mystical atmosphere.

    We went during the week and even though the cherry blossoms were out in places like Hirosaki that wasnt the case here so maybe that is why we had the place to ourselves. The gardens by the Torri...

    Aomori Pref. Aomorishi Yasukata 2-7-18
    A Shinto shrine dedicated to the Munakata Sanjo-shin, the three female children of Amaterasu the sun goddess; the shrine is located on ground considered the birthplace of Aomori City. The shrine provides worshippers with safe journeys. The shrine's popular omamori charms are decorated with a cute depiction of rhinoceros auklets, birds which are called utou in Japanese.

    A small Shinto shrine tucked away just off the main street. A tranquil garden and beautiful pond. Was well worth seeking out on a hot afternoon while waiting for the Nebuta parade to start.

    Aomori Aomori-shi Nagashima 2-13-5

    拝殿にすすむと、内から明かりが漏れています。さらに近づくとねぶたが中に有るのが分かりました。最初見たときはびっくりというより腰を抜かすほどの驚きでした。言い方は悪いかもしれませんが、お化けと最初思ってしまいました。どうやら奉納されたねぶたのようです。10世紀末に創建された歴史ある神社です。

    Aomori Pref. Hirosakishi Hyakuzawa Terasawa
    With a history of approximately 1,200 years since it was built and believed to enshrine the guardian deity of agricultural and fishing industries, Iwakiyama-jinja Shrine is also called by its other names of “O-Iwaki-sama” and “O-yama.” The long path leading from the torii gate to the honden (main shrine) is flanked on either side by sugi (Japanese cryptomeria trees). The premises feature a honden, haiden (hall of worship), okumon (inner gate), and romon (two-storied gate) all arranged in a line, and these beautiful structures have been designated as Important Cultural Properties.

    Aomori Pref. Hachinoheshi Chouja 1-6-10
    This Shinto shrine is about ten minutes on foot from both the Nijusannichi-machi and the Jurokunichi-machi bus stops. Located on the summit of Mt. Choja, it was built in 1678 by Nanbu Naomasa, the second feudal lord of the Hachinohe Domain. The shrine structure visitors see today was constructed over a ten-year period starting in 1826. Its various Edo Period (1603-1868) characteristics have earned it the status of a prefectural treasure. From the first to the third of August, the shrine holds its annual Sansha-Taisai Festival, a nationally Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. Other well-known events are the Hachinohe Enburi Festival on February 17 and its Kagami-style Kiba Dakyu Tournament on August 2, featuring a traditional equestrian sport.

    八戸市街にある長者山の山上にあるジンジャ・シュラインです。1678年に創建され、八戸三社大祭などの八戸の主要な祭礼の舞台になる場所です。訪問時、残念ながら境内には少し荒廃の兆しが見えたように感じましたが、良いアトモスフィアの場所でした。御朱印あります。

    Aomori Pref. Hachinoheshi Yawata Hachimanchou 3
    All of the Kushihiki Hachimangu Shrine, the general guardian of the Nanbu clan, is registered as an Important Cultural Property which includes Akaito Odoshi Yoroi (odoshi armor with red strings; National Treasure). There is also a National Treasure Museum which holds and exhibits 25 National Cultural Properties, and the elderly cedar trees hundreds of years old on the grounds are also a highlight. Trying on armor or shrine maiden costumes can be enjoyed by parents and children alike and is popular. It is approximately 10 minutes by car from JR Hachinohe Station.

    Aomori Hirosaki-shi
    This shrine began as the mausoleum enshrining the fourth clan lord Nobumasa. It has a unique shrine structure based on Yoshikawa Shinto, which has rarely been seen elsewhere in Japan, and is highly valued as an indication of the development of early modern shrine architecture. Heiden (hall of offerings), Zuijin-Mon (shrine gate), the public grave of Nobumasa Tsugaru, Byosho-Haiden (hall of worship in mausoleum), and Byosho-Mon (gate in mausoleum) are designated as important cultural properties.

    Aomori Hirosaki-shi Shimoshiroganecho 1-3

    青森県の護国神社は、弘前城内にあり、桜祭りに寄せて頂いたこの機会に参拝してきました。これまでの日本史上の中での戦争に散った英霊をお祭りしている護国神社にはやはり特別な思いがあります。気持ちを込めて参拝してきました。

    黒石駅からバスで行きました。 本数が少ないのであらかじめ調べておきましょう。 紅葉の名所、中野もみじ山にある神社です。 2021年11月8日でまだ紅葉が綺麗でした。 足場があまり良くないので歩き慣れた靴が良いでしょう。

    Aomori Hirosaki-shi Hachimancho 1-1-1

    弘前城の北東に位置するジンジャ・シュラインです。創建については坂上田村麻呂の東夷東征まで遡るとも伝わります。拝殿の脇にある出入口からから本殿を見ることができますが、なかなか良いアトモスフィアを感じ取ることができます。御朱印あります。

    Aomori Hirosaki-shi Tamachi 4-1-1

    弘前の市街地に建つ神社です。ちょうど弘前八幡宮の南に建っています。行き難い場所にあるので、八幡宮と同様、車かバスを使っていくことをお勧めします。但し、バスは便が少ないです。バスターミナルから75系統のバスに乗り、田町4丁目バス停で降りれば神社は目の前ですが、1日3便くらいしかなく、土日祝は運休です。注意してください。 創建は崇神天皇６７年（紀元前３１年）と伝えられているので、神話の時代まで遡ります...

    板柳町にあるジンジャ・シュラインです。所謂、国家神道とは別系統の民間信仰が色濃く、神仏習合のアトモスフィアが強いですね。カオス感が非常に魅力的です。

Aomori Areas

around-area-map

Centuries-old stories of samurai at Kakunodate and the remains of millennia-old archaeological sites including the likes of Isedotai invite history buffs to delve into Aomori’s fascinating history. As the most northern prefecture on the Japanese mainland, Aomori enjoys a cooler climate, which makes it a welcome escape from the southern cities for combining castles, art galleries, and summer festivals with the great outdoors.
