Aomori City in Aomori Prefecture is the northernmost prefectural capital city on Honshu, Japan's main island. This port town used to be the main departure point to Hokkaido via ferry; and, although it remains the main port for car ferries, the opening of the Seikan Undersea Railway Tunnel and the advent of cheap flights have reduced ridership and many travelers now bypass the city altogether. Today Aomori is best known for its spectacular Nebuta Matsuri summer festival. As a matter of fact, Aomori is very well known for its abundant nature, insane apple production, and its incredible summertime Nebuta festivals – considered the best of all the summer Tohoku festivals.
Two fascinating regions; full of countryside, mountains, lakes, hot springs, snow and natural landscapes are at your disposal in this holiday package along Japan.
