Rute

1. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Iwaki—often called “Tsugaru Fuji” for its graceful shape—Iwakiyama Shrine is one of the most sacred and historic sites in Aomori Prefecture. The peaceful approach, lined with centuries-old cedar trees, leads to a striking vermilion gate and main hall. As you stand before the shrine, the silhouette of Mt. Iwaki rises behind it, creating a deeply spiritual atmosphere. A visit here offers a rare glimpse into the unique mountain worship of northern Japan—and a tranquil, unforgettable cultural experience.

2. The Tsugaru Iwaki Skyline is a scenic toll road that winds up Mt. Iwaki with 69 curves, leading to the 8th station of the mountain. As you ascend, sweeping views of the Tsugaru Plain, Mt. Hakkoda, and the distant Sea of Japan unfold around every bend. At the summit parking area, on clear days, you can enjoy a panoramic view that captures the quiet majesty of northern Japan. The drive itself is smooth and safe, making it a relaxing way to experience the natural beauty of Aomori from above.

About Aomori

Aomori is a port city at the northern tip of Honshu, on Mutsu Bay, known for its summer Nebuta lantern festival, apples and heavy winter snow.

Aomori faces Mutsu Bay at the northern end of Honshu, Japan's main island, in a region of apple orchards and mountains. The Nebuta Warasse museum houses the huge painted lantern floats paraded each summer in the Nebuta festival, and the Aomori Museum of Art, with white walls inspired by excavation trenches, shows modern work including a giant dog sculpture. The Hakkōda Maru, a retired ferry, is moored by the bay as a museum.
