    Tsugaru Kokeshi Doll Museum, opened in 1988, displays a collection of 5,000 traditional Kokeshi dolls accumulated over a period of 20 years, a “Kokeshi Art Collection” and pure gold kokeshi wooden doll. The museum also holds events and has a hands-on corner, and with a reservation visitors can also experience painting a doll. The Tsugaru Kokeshi Museum is attracting attention not only as a kokeshi memorial hall but also as a place to hand down the history of the activities of the local residents. It is approximately ten minutes by car from Kuroishi Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway.

  • Sekisho (Checkpoint) Museum

    Aomori Hirakawa-shi Ikarigaseki Ikariishi 13-1
    "This museum is located in a corner of Roadside Station Ikarigaseki Tsugaru-Sekinosho, approximately two kilometers from the Ikarigaseki Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway. There are exhibits of weapons and old documents from feudal times, along with a guardhouse from a checkpoint relocated from near Akita Prefecture where it had been restored. The inspections at the Ikarigaseki checkpoint were so tough that records remain saying that ""in strictness even the checkpoint at Hakone does not match it."" The museum houses recreations of period scenes using figures and tickets from the time period, allowing visitors to learn about the history and background of the era."

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.
