A pretty good selection of brands. They have clothing, drugstore/cosmetics items, and food, and the prices are fairly reasonable.

Hachinohe Yatai Village Miroku Yokocho
A popular food spot that opened in 2002 after the Shinkansen began service to Hachinohe City. Along a narrow alley, 26 small food stalls line up side by side, creating a lively atmosphere at all times. Now beloved as a symbol of Hachinohe, it draws not only tourists but also plenty of local regulars. The food lineup is wonderfully diverse, from Hachinohe’s local specialties to charcoal-grilled fresh seafood, oden, skewers, meat dishes, and bistro-style small plates.
The seafood was seriously fresh. As soon as the grilled fish and shellfish hit the table, the aroma was unreal.
They’ve got tons of sake and shochu options too. Get a little buzz going, add some skewers, and it’s the best. -
Tomioka Silk Mill
The Tomioka Silk Mill garnered international acclaim when it was registered in 2014 as a world heritage site. It’s home to rich history that nods to the heyday of the Meiji Restoration period.
It's just an old factory, but the ticket price is JPY 1,000, which feels way too expensive!

Kashozan Mirokuji Temple
Kashozan Mirokuji Temple is located to the north of Numata City, to the east of the Tanigawa mountain range. The temple grounds are surrounded by pure, clean air, giving it a comfortably refreshing atmosphere.
This temple is deep in the mountains. The huge Tengu mask is actually kind of creepy!
