hkskyline's 2017 in Aomori, Japan
Aomori is located on the northern tip of Honshu. Facing the sea, fresh creatures from the ocean are abundant here. Head to the Furukawa Market, where you can make your own fresh seafood rice with a unique ticket system. Buy a booklet of tickets, and browse around the shops for your favourite toppings, which you pay with your tickets. Grab at seat at their eating area, and enjoy your customized dish.
Aomori is famous for the Nebuta Festival in August. When visiting outside this period, stop by the Nebuta Museum to see the colourful floats. It is believed the design of the gruesome creatures on these floats was meant to scare away enemies.
ASPAM'S triangular shape is quite noticeable on the waterfront. Head up to the observation deck for a nice view of the city.
Back on the ground, the water is crystal clear.
Hakkodamaru celebrates the Seikan ferry, which connected Hokkaido with Honshu until 1988. Today, the Shinkansen crosses under the sea to reach Hakodate from here.
