Just returned from a trip to Japan's hidden gem, Aomori｜One-day tour guide

When you think of Aomori, you think of apples. It's a famous apple-producing region! You can see apple products everywhere. In winter, the snow-covered Aomori is breathtakingly beautiful. If you're visiting Aomori in winter, don't miss these attractions. You can plan a one-day tour! 🔷🔷🔷My Aomori one-day tour guide 🚗Transportation: Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo for four hours to Shin-Aomori Station 🏨Accommodation: Toyoko Inn Shin-Aomori Station East Exit, just a five-minute walk from Shin-Aomori Station to the bus stop and JR station 📅Aomori one-day tour itinerary: ⏰Morning - Aomori Museum of Art (15 minutes by bus from Shin-Aomori Station) 🕐Afternoon - Nebuta Museum WA RASSE - A-FACTORY (Take the bus from the museum to Aomori Station, the two exhibition halls are a one-minute walk apart) 💎Attraction highlights: 📍Aomori Museum of Art: If you like Yoshitomo Nara, this is a must-visit museum! Aomori is the birthplace of Yoshitomo Nara, and the museum has more than 30 exhibits, the most famous of which are Aomori-ken and Forest Child. I was lucky enough to see the limited-time Ghibli exhibition, which is a must-see for fans of Hayao Miyazaki's animations. There's a 1:1 replica of the Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro that you can sit in! There are also various animation introductions. 📍Nebuta Museum WA RASSE: The Aomori Nebuta Festival is one of the three major festivals in the Tohoku region of Japan. The museum shows videos of the festival, the production process, and displays of outstanding Nebuta floats. There are also performances of Nebuta taiko drumming. It's a very unique museum. 📍A-FACTORY: There are two floors. The first floor sells a variety of Aomori apple products and has various apple-themed restaurants. The second floor has an event space and a specialty store. You'll definitely be full and satisfied, and you can take some local products home. 📌Tips: 1️⃣There are eight buses a day from Shin-Aomori Station to the Aomori Museum of Art, one every hour, and only four buses from Aomori Station. Be sure to check the schedule so you don't miss the bus, or you can take a taxi for about 100 yuan. 2️⃣In winter, Aomori is basically covered in snow, and the roads are very slippery, so be sure to bring crampons. The roads are narrow, with only a narrow path cleared of snow. 3️⃣If you don't have much luggage, it's more convenient to stay near Aomori Station for dining. There are fewer restaurants near Shin-Aomori Station, which is less convenient.
