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 Ryusendo’s Blue Depths to the Cliffs of Kitayamazaki
Overview of your Miyako tour
Iwate, on Japan’s scenic Sanriku Coast, is a region of dramatic cliffs, hidden caves, and a deep connection to the sea. From the cobalt-blue underground lakes of Ryusendo Cave to the towering 200-meter cliffs of Kitayamazaki, the area showcases some of northern Japan’s most striking natural landscapes. Alongside its beauty, Iwate is also known for its rich food culture, with fresh seafood markets and roadside stations offering local specialties. On this Miyako Port day tour, I will take you through these highlights in a relaxed, small-group setting. Together, we’ll explore the wonders of Ryusendo Cave, take in panoramic views from Kitayamazaki Observatory (or taste local flavors at Iwaizumi Roadside Station on rainy days), and end the journey at the lively Miyako City Gyosai Market. As we travel, I’ll share the stories and traditions that bring this region to life — making this the perfect Iwate shore excursion for cruise travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path Japan tour.
