Aomori city sightseeing

#helloautumn Aomori City (青森) in Aomori Prefecture is the northernmost prefectural capital city on Honshu, Japan's main island. This port town used to be the main departure point to Hokkaido via ferry; and, although it remains the main port for car ferries, the opening of the Seikan Undersea Railway Tunnel and the advent of cheap flights have reduced ridership and many travelers now bypass the city altogether. Aomori (Japanese: 青森市, Hepburn: Aomori-shi, IPA: [aoꜜmoɾi]; lit. "Blue Forest City") is the capital city of Aomori Prefecture, in the Tōhoku region of Japan.
