    "Consisting of two massive rock formations which resemble a man and woman embracing, this rock is accordingly said to aid visitors in finding luck in love and marriage. The ""male"" rock reaches 101 meters above sea level. Erosion has worn away the surrounding shale, exposing the rough rhyolite of the rock. The ""female"" rock is smaller, rounder, and more ""gentle"" in appearance."

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.
