- Hotokegaura
- Travel / Tourism
- Sai village in Shimokita-gun, Aomori Prefecture
- Hotokegaura is a series of impressive giant and oddly shaped rock formations extending about two kilometers along the coast. The crashing waves continually erode the rock face, and the resulting effects are mysterious and an amazing sight, especially given the contrast between the broad, blue sea and the gray rocks. It is believed that these rocks were created by undersea volcanic activity about 20 million years ago. While the rocks are visible from land, it is also possible to take an excursion boat to see them from the sea.

Besides tennis courts and hiking trails, Yamamura Square also offers an assortment of variously sized bungalows, from family-size ones to large ones for up to 15 people.

- Kominato Swan Migration Grounds
- Travel / Tourism
- Aomori Higashitsugaru-gun Hiranaimachi
- Since ancient times, the coast of Asadokoro, a shallow stretch of coastline situated on the east side of the base of the Natsudomari Peninsula, has been known as a destination for migrating swans. The entire Natsudomari Peninsula has been designated a Special Natural Monument due to Kominato being a swan migration area. Whooper swans migrate here from Siberia around mid-October each year. Visitors can watch the swans from this time until late March the following year. Due to concerns about avian flu, note that visitors are prohibited from feeding the swans.

Aomori Areas
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.
