Vaste nature, paysages à couper le souffle : la région d'Aomori vaut le détour.

Et si vous dirigiez votre regard vers le nord du Japon ? Le Tohoku, la région du nord-est de l’île principale de Honshu, offre des trésors naturels et culturels. Parmi ces joyaux se trouve à la pointe nord de l’île la ville d’Aomori, capitale de la préfecture éponyme. Bonne nouvelle, le Shinkansen la relie àTokyo.

What to see and do in Aomori?

Visit the Aomori Museum of Art, which opened in 2006, and its architecture is worth a stop. The white cubic building was designed by architect Jun Aoki to harmonize with its historical surroundings. The Aomori Museum of Art houses various permanent and temporary exhibitions, including works by Shiko Munakata, Marc Chagall, and Paul Klee. The huge massive dog sculpture by Yoshitomo Nara in the museum has become a symbol of Aomori. 

Close to the museum is the Sannai Murayama, a major archaeological site offering a view of the remains of a village from the Jômon period civilization (13,000 BC to 400 BC). Nearly 800 dwellings have been uncovered on this site, providing great insight into these hunter-gatherers, ancestors of the contemporary Japanese. A must for all history buffs.

Aomori's culinary specialties

Aomori Prefecture is known for its apple, sake, and fresh seafood production.

In Aomori, apples are the main crop. Sharing its similarity with the famed European region of Normandy, in short, Aomori is the apple-based culinary capital of Japan: hot apple cider, apple mousse, apple pie, and anything made from apple!
