At the north of the main island of Honshu, lies a prefecture mostly unheard of outside of Japan.
The prefecture is Aomori. It is our home and we believe it is the home of the true essence of Japan.
On the same latitude as New York, Madrid and Rome, Aomori Prefecture is marked by four distinctly different seasons: |
 springs which bring a welcome green transformation after the white of winter.
summers which are a little shorter than those further south, but which lack the humidity of southern climates.
autumn which linger gloriously and color the whole prefecture a golden russet.
winters which last nearly a quater of the year and change the landscape into a snowy wonderland.
As a result of its long history of isolation, both geographical and climactic, Aomori has developed and maintained a regional
variety which has long disappeared elsewhere.
The regions of Tsugaru, Nambu and Shimokita are distinct in their traditions. They retain to this day their own individual
identity in their festivals and their folks crafts; they even have their own dialects of Japanese. |
 |
Even today, when Aomori is a mere on-hour fligh from the nation's capital, the visitor to Aomori can experience the sights,
sounds and tastes of a Japan which many people thought had long vanished.
Aomori is the home of Japan's apple industry. Aomori is the gateway to Hokkaido and the north. However, Aomori is so smuch more.
We are proud of Aomori.
Come amd see for yourself !!!
