Hi! I’m Sanichi, a nationally licensed tour guide in Japan. Born and raised in the Tohoku region, I am especially proud to introduce you not only to Aomori, but also to the wider Tohoku region, the northernmost area of Japan’s main island. This fascinating region includes prefectures such as Akita, Iwate, and Miyagi, each offering its own unique traditions, landscapes, and cultural treasures. From the moment you step off the train at JR Aomori Station, you’ll be welcomed by the calm waves of Mutsu Bay and the refreshing atmosphere of this charming city, whose name literally means “Blue Forest.” Aomori and the Tohoku region as a whole are places where history, nature, and vibrant local culture come together—and where you’ll often find yourself wanting to explore even more. Whether you’re interested in local culture, seasonal festivals, delicious food, or hidden gems off the beaten path, I’ll be happy to guide you and make your journey memorable. Please feel free to reach out anytime, from anywhere in the world. I’m Sanichi—a friendly, reliable guide you can count on here in Aomori and throughout Tohoku!

From Samurai Castle Ruins to Local Flavors and Traditional Festivals
Overview of your Akita tour
Akita, located in northern Japan’s Tohoku region, is a city where history, culture, and nature come together. Once a samurai castle town, it is now known for its seasonal festivals, rich rice fields, and sake brewing traditions. The city blends tranquil landscapes with lively urban districts, offering visitors a glimpse into both its heritage and modern lifestyle. On this tour, I will take you to stroll through Senshu Park, home to the ruins of Kubota Castle, explore shopping areas, and enjoy a traditional Akita lunch. At the Neburi-Nagashi Museum, experience the colorful spirit of one of Akita’s most vibrant festivals, and later taste local sake at Akita Kurasu. A scenic drive through rice paddies showcases the region’s agricultural roots. With private car transportation and me as your local guide, this tour provides comfort and cultural depth. The itinerary can be customized to match your interests.
