    Aomori Hirosaki-shi Bakurocho Wakadocho
    Nakamachi, which today still has a unique scenery such as Sawara cypress hedges and fences, was the area where most samurai residences were located in the castle town of Hirosaki castle. It has a land area of about 10.6 hectares, and it has become important as a place that conveys the scenery of the samurai residences of the Edo period (1603-1868).

    Aomori Pref. Hirosakishi Nishishigemori
    This is an area in Aomori Prefecture hosting 33 temples of the Soto school of Zen Buddhism. The second lord of the Hirosaki Domain, Tsugaru Nobuhira, ordered temples to gather along the southwestern side of the Hirosaki Castle precincts in 1610. As these temples of the same school sprouted up like a forest along the tree lined road, it created a temple town unlike any other in Japan.

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.
