A few years ago, I came here in winter to try skiing. The entire mountain was covered in snow, and everything was blanketed in white as far as the eye could see. The scenery was very dreamlike~ Skiing on real snow was both exciting and fun, and the beautiful snowy scenery all around made me want to keep taking photos. I could also admire the magnificent winter mountain views and fully experience the atmosphere of a snow country. It was an unforgettable winter travel memory!

Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse
Wa Rasse is an eye-catching, modern, red museum close to Aomori Station. It was opened in 2011 to preserve Aomori Nebuta Festival held between 2nd and 7th of August every year.
When I arrived at Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse in Aomori, I was immediately blown away by the enormous, brightly colored Nebuta floats! Each one is incredibly impressive, with exquisitely crafted facial expressions, costumes, and details. Seeing them up close is truly spectacular. With the lively festival music playing, it feels like you’re about to join everyone in a parade through the streets! Besides viewing the large floats, you can learn about the history and craftsmanship of the Nebuta Festival and even try drumming and other interactive festival activities, making the experience feel more engaging. Even if you don’t visit during the festival, you can still experience the charm of Aomori’s traditional culture. It’s definitely an attraction worth visiting!

Naritasan Park
On Naritasan temple grounds, there is an enormous park as big as 3.5 Tokyo Domes (165,000m2). In spring, 350 cherry trees blossom to delight visitors. The plum, wisteria, maple take turns to adorn the grounds throughout the year.
Naritasan Park is a great place for a relaxing stroll, with plenty of greenery, ponds, and small bridges. The scenery is beautiful, and walking through the park gives you a sense of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city~ Take your time enjoying the views along the paths, as each angle offers something different, all with the elegant atmosphere of a Japanese garden.

Asakusa Nakamise Shopping Street (Main Approach to Asakusa Temple)
Located on the approach to Asakusa Temple, this shopping street consists of food and souvenir shops lining the approximately 250m stone-paved path from Asakusa Temple's main gate, the Kaminarimon Gate, to the "Treasure House Gate". Known as "Nakamise", about 90 stores are built across the approach, bustling daily with visitors to Asakusa Temple and tourists from both Japan and abroad.
Asakusa Nakamise Shopping Street is very lively, with all kinds of small Japanese shops along the way and a strong traditional Japanese atmosphere~
It's very crowded here on holidays, and the entire street gets packed, but that also lets you experience its appeal as a tourist destination. You can find many unique snacks and souvenirs along the way. I bought some Japanese dango to try—the chewy texture paired with the sweet sauce was very Japanese. Browsing the shops and sampling local food along the way was a very fun experience! -
