Aomori Prefecture combines the Hakkōda Mountains, Lake Towada, and the Oirase River with the historic castle and Hirosaki Park, as well as Aomori City’s Jōmon history. Anyone looking to rent or book a vacation apartment, holiday home, or hotel in Aomori Prefecture should first decide which of these focal points will shape their travel plans.

Key facts at a glance

  • Aomori Prefecture is located in the Tōhoku region on Honshū and forms the northern part of Japan’s main island.

Nature between mountains, lake, and river

The natural areas of the prefecture include the Hakkōda Mountains, Lake Towada, and the Oirase River. These landscapes also offer hiking experiences during the warm summer months. Those who primarily want to experience Hakkoda, Lake Towada, and the Oirase River should approach their accommodation search differently from travelers focusing on Hirosaki or Aomori City.

Culture, history, and seasonal travel ideas

Hirosaki combines its historic castle with Hirosaki Park; the cherry blossoms create a distinct seasonal highlight there in spring. In Aomori City, the Sannai-Maruyama Site is home to the associated museum. They provide insight into the Jōmon period. Apples and regional products are recurring culinary references to Aomori Prefecture.

Different highlights shape the travel seasons: the cherry blossoms in Hirosaki in spring and the Nebuta Festival in early August. This makes it possible to align the regional search with the experience that is intended to be the main focus.
