Frequently Asked Questions

At the Shin-Chuo quay, which practically touches the city centre. That is a rare convenience in Japan: everything worth seeing is reachable on foot along a flat waterfront promenade, with no shuttle or taxi.
The Wa-Rasse museum, Furukawa market and the A-Factory complex form a walking loop of under two kilometres from the quay. Add the ASPAM observatory and the day is full without ever getting into a vehicle.
The museum of the Nebuta festival, five minutes from the gangway. In theatrical half-light, several full-size paper floats, fierce-faced warriors and rearing dragons, light the hall from within. You learn how the craftsmen stretch paper over wire frames.
A rice bowl you build yourself. You buy tokens at the entrance, receive a bowl of rice, then move from stall to stall trading tokens for tuna, scallops, salmon roe or sea urchin depending on the season. The market is a ten-minute walk from the quay.
Because the prefecture grows more than half of Japan's apples. Under the red arches of the A-Factory complex facing the quay, cideries and counters turn the fruit into pressed juice, tarts, jams and local ciders you can taste on the spot.
At the observatory of the ASPAM centre, the glass pyramid on the waterfront: a full circle view over the bay, the city and, on a clear day, the Hakkoda mountains, whose summits hold snow late into spring.
A former ferry painted yellow, now a museum ship. It recalls the era when Aomori was the departure point for crossings to Hokkaido, before the rail tunnel took over.
Yes, the Sannai-Maruyama site, remains of a village several thousand years old and a UNESCO World Heritage listing. It is a quarter of an hour by taxi from the centre, making it the only outing of the call that needs a vehicle.
The Japanese yen and Japanese. The main waterfront sites post translations, but English is little spoken at Furukawa market. Bring cash: the nokkedon tokens and the small stalls work mostly in currency.
May to October. Early August coincides with the Nebuta festival, spectacular but it fills the entire city. In spring, the Hakkoda mountains keep their snow late, which gives the finest views from ASPAM.
