Introducing Aomori
You won’t find much in the way of ancient architecture in Aomori, as the city was 90% destroyed by bombing during WWII; however, Aomori’s people seem to have taken that in their stride. The ASPAM building and the Aomori Bay Bridge seem almost too modern, yet ancient festivals such as the Nebuta – raucously wild, with amazing floats – remind you that traditional ways are alive and kicking here. Aomori is a popular place to break up the journey between Tokyo and Hokkaidō, and serves as a convenient transport hub for Shimokita-hantō, Towada-ko and the scenic region around Hakkōda-san.
