Stop here to rest and relax on your drive to Aomori Prices are slightly lower Lots of friendly shop owners Plenty of apple related stuff

Has many stores and restaurants. I enjoyed and bought vegetables, fruits, snacks, pastries, and Raman.

Reservations are required, cash only (there is no ATM on site). The ladies who work there are so friendly and helpful. You choose from a variety of sample designs, and different size fabrics are priced accordingly. The prices are quite reasonable, my handkerchief was under ¥1500. They'll help you with your technique to get it just right. It took me about an hour to dye a handkerchief from start to finish. You'll take it home wet, in a plastic bag, and it's going to smell strongly for some time. I washed mine several times to no avail, but it did stop smelling after a few wears and airing out.

buy anyting you can imagine about apple. it is a shopping complex. At the back, it has a hill where kids can run about and have fun.

Very busy Michi no eki. Lot of apple flavour dishes. The park (Apple Hill) is pleasant to walk around and relax

We had fun "apple picking"!!

Farmers’ market with good varieties of delicious apples.

The bridge is continuing to be upgraded. The front section is a new one. When you proceed to walk to the second half of the bridge you can see the original section. Kudos to the local team who is making great effort to preserve the bridge. And you get a good view of the Mt Iwaki in the background. Great place for outdoor activities.

Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy nature and scenery. Spent an hour walking around the park and visited the nearby red-crown crane sanctuary. There a restaurant overlooking the lake and have a good view of the bridge and the mountain.

Nice bridge and great views of mount iwaki!

The bridge is very cool and provides a very nice view of a nearby mountain for a photo op. The Aomori apple soft serve icecream from the shop next to the car park is a must though.

The bridge is closed as it's being repaired but it looks pretty and picturesque from afar. May not be worth the drive just to see this bridge.

We arrive during maintenance time. Too bad I can't walk on the bridge. But the view with the mountain in the back is just peaceful.

On December 21, 2019, my family of five arrived here from Sendai. It snowed a bit during our hour-long stay, and the cranes danced once for a few seconds for us. We were contented to learn why the bridge was so named.

Throughout the time we were there, I was agog with wonder at the creativity of the minds that made these awesome inspiring structures. Each side is different. Filled with beauty and a need to express the creativity that comes from within.

Interesting place to visit to find out more about the floats and the process behind the construction from design to building it. Pretty stunning. There is a good video being shown at the start of the exhibition showing the process throughout the seasons.

It's totally worth the visit . The display is about four storeys tall and weighs 1.9 ton .It is a great piece of art . Entrance fee is affordable with 2 hrs free car park ( next to the museum ) . A must visit when you are in Aomori .

The size and scale of the paper doll float characters is breathtaking, truly awesome. It's definitely worth a visit.

Very impressive TachiNeputa museum. There’s an art gallery on second floor within the building but at a different section. Tickets can be purchased at the main counter, for cheaper price (TachiNeputa and Art Gallery combo). Third floor is a spacious zone with people working on the following year’s Neputa. Forth and fifth floor are learning/ activity zones or some sort, where you can pay to make your own gold fish lantern(?). Sixth floor is an observation deck and restaurant.

This place may look pretty unassuming on the outside, but the inside is absolutely stunning. This is where they keep the floats for the annual Nebuta festival. It's amazing to learn the history of the floats, how they're built, and the meaning behind it all. They also have an art gallery on the 2nd floor, which was very tame compared to the regular museum. Id say skip the art gallery unless you need to kill time or something.

Magic place. all the atmosphere of this famous matsuri. one feels very small at the foot of these floats. congratulations to you artists and inhabitants of Goshogawara

VERY MUCH worth the journey, and incredibly accessible once you’re in. Lots of guidance and way more displays than shown on Google. Small souvenir shop as well, but tickets themselves are only ¥600. Obviously overall surreal to visit the birthplace of my favourite author, and the reason that I visited Aomori.

This place is worth visit if you know the Japanese novelist Dazai Osamu.

Osamu Dazai’s childhood home. You can tour almost the entire home and walk into each of the rooms. There are also QR codes to scan for audio guides in various languages as well as guided tours available.

I had a lovely time at the Shayokan. The staff were very kind, and they stored my baggage behind the counter for me. There is one room towards the back where photography is not allowed. A lot of information was translated into English via QR code audio tour. They even offered tea and coffee for a reasonable price. I hope to visit again someday with friends.

Aomori is my hometown but it was my first visit. They had heaters but my feet felt frozen as I walked on tatami mats and stairs. It is certainly grand for someone’s home. I saw a living room, bedrooms, kitchen, but not bathroom nor bath. This place is kept clean but requires extensive renovation. It was nice to see Dazai’s handwritten letters and capes.

As a fan of Dazai Osamu, it’s a honor to be here!

Very nice place. The area around it is really cool. There is a nice shrine and Buddhist Temple rrslly close by and a nice gift shop.

I think it’s a special place. There is a lot to this shrine and you should see for yourself. BUT… driving is a must… I did not… so getting there by bus only takes you to the entrance at the bottom. So you have to walk 40 minutes up and back down to the bus that only comes every once in a while. Just letting those know just in case :)

This is a beautiful shrine with few tourists visiting so it’s easy to enjoy and quite peaceful. It is generally well maintained, although some parts need some improvement. It is easy to access by car, and there is a small parking lot available.

A great shrine to visit! It does take some effort to climb up the hill, but it's worth it. I went on April 16, 2025—there weren’t any flowers, but the scenery was still beautiful. Not many souvenirs available, but they did have some limited-edition Sakura-themed omamori.

Superb. We showed up on a cold and rainy day and had the place almost completely to ourselves. It’s a beautiful location and with the drive from the city. We spent about an hour here and really enjoyed ourselves. It’s worth stopping in the teahouse and reading the history of the Cheseborough shipwreck and the aid of the local villagers.

We drove to the location and had an amazing time. We went towards the end of August and the temps were about 30 degrees C, so wear comfortable shoes and clothing. It costs nothing to enter.

Took the bus H53 from Gushugowara (Do check bus timing! It is not as frequent as you would have imagined). Bus journey is approximately 50+ minutes followed by a 30-40mins walk (3.6km) into the Shrine area. Alternatively, you can try getting a taxi in. Overall, a really pleasant view! For those who want to explore and go off track! Do visit!

One of the best jnari shrines in Japan. The location is easily accessible by car. And it’s usually less crowded than other popular shrines in Japan. Definitely recommend this spot.

(Translated by Google) I received Tenchuka Soba for 850 yen. I heard it was popular with tourists, so I decided to try it. A small kakiage of scallops sits on top of the old-fashioned chicken-based Chinese noodles. The soup is light and gentle, and the classic toppings include Chinese pork, pork belly, and green onions. It was light at first, but in the second half it started to get heavier and heavier due to the oil from the kakiage. It's not suitable for eating often, but maybe it's good for occasional consumption? ! I would like to try normal Chinese noodles once. The other dish is the Tentoji soba that my companion ate.Is this the correct one? ? ? ? #Tenchuukasoba (Original) 天中華そば　850円頂きました。 観光客に人気と聞いて、食べてみようと訪問。 鶏ガラベースの昔ながらのThe中華そばの上に、小ぶりなホタテの貝柱のかき揚げが鎮座している。 スープはアッサリした優しいもので、シナチク、チャーシュー、ネギの王道トッピング。 最初はアッサリだが、後半はかき揚げの油で段々重くなって来た気がします。 しょっちゅう食べるには向かないが、たまに食べ分には有りかな？！ 一度、ノーマルの中華そば食べてみたいてす。 もう一品は、連れが食べた、天とじそば　コチラが正解？？？？ #天中華そば

(Translated by Google) I went there for the first time after being recommended by an acquaintance. The prices are generally reasonable for a soba restaurant, and even a large serving costs only 100 yen more, which is quite reasonable. The time it took for the tempura and soba to arrive was short, and the noodle soup was light, but delicious. The oyakodon was also light in flavor, but the balance of the sweetness of the egg was good and it was delicious. The portion size when I ordered the large serving was a little lacking, but... (Original) 知り合いからすすめられて初めて行きました。蕎麦屋にしては全体的に値段はリーズナブルであり大盛でも100円増しなのもかなり良心的です。注文してから来るまでの時間も短く天ざるは、めんつゆはあっさりしていましたが、美味しいです。親子丼もあっさりベースですが、卵の甘味のバランスも良く美味しかったです。大盛にした時の量は少々物足りないかな

(Translated by Google) I passed by without noticing the store's modest appearance ^^; I ordered Tenchuuka. "Ramen and tempura" is an interesting combination. The ramen has a light soup and thin noodles that combine the flavors. Crispy scallop tempura goes surprisingly well. It somehow felt nostalgic to me. Inside the store, there are three tables for four people and a counter seat. It was a heartwarming feeling to see the turtle motif of the store's name casually placed there. There was no parking lot, so I parked at a nearby paid parking lot and walked. (Original) 控え目な店構えで一度気付かずに通り過ぎてしまいました^^; 天中華を頼みました。「ラーメンと天ぷら」って面白い組み合わせですね。あっさりしたスープにラーメンは細麺で味が絡みます。サクサクしたホタテの天ぷらが意外に合います。何だか私には懐かしい味に感じました。 店内は４人掛けテーブル席が３つとカウンター席。店名の亀の小物がさり気なく置いてあってほっこりしました。 駐車場が無かったので、近くの有料駐車場に止めて歩いて行きました。

(Translated by Google) I had the Tempura Chinese and warm soba noodles, and neither was particularly noteworthy, just average. In particular, the tempura in the Tempura Chinese wasn't freshly fried, and the thin soup was just flavored water. What's more, both the tempura and soup were lukewarm. The noodles were a bit soft. The scallop tempura wasn't fully utilized. (Original) 天中華と温蕎麦を食べたけど、ぢちらも特筆するような点は無く普通。 特に天中華は天ぷらが揚げたてじゃなく、薄めのスープは味の付いたお湯レベル。しかも天ぷらもスープもぬるい。麺は軟わめ。 帆立の天ぷらを活かしきれていない。

(Translated by Google) 2018/3/7 I had the tempura chuka with scallop tempura on top. The Chinese soup was also delicious and I thought it was an unusual menu item. There is a coin parking lot opposite the intersection. The area around Goshogawara Station is very interesting as there are many small shops that boast rare menu items.

The clear soup is made with light soy sauce. The noodles are flat, slightly curly, and have a very soft texture.

It's very light, so it may not be suitable for those who are looking for richness or richness. It's the first time I've had it, but when I suddenly remember it, I want to eat it again.

Another quick tour (30min). Shows a few floats they had during the parade. Some history of the people who made them.

Nice bridge, sometimes you can get a good view of Mt Iwaki reflected in the lake. There are also red crowned cranes in pens you can go see. Otherwise there's not much else going on here. Stop by if you're in the area but otherwise you're not missing much.

Very beautiful place. Especially when it snow

Nice cherry blossom. Toilet a little old though. Parking free first 30min

This park is beautiful ! Great place for the family and couple's! Don't want to pass on a visit to this park!

People's can have wonderful time in this place.

Ok

(Translated by Google) I visited for the Tohoku Smartphone Stamp Rally. I thought the admission fee of 200 yen was cheap, but since the museum is small and there aren't many exhibits, I think it's reasonable. The shade clay figurines were replicas. (Original) 東北スマホスタンプラリーで訪れました。入館料200円で安いと思ったのですが、規模も展示品も少ないので、まぁ妥当なのかなって感じ。遮光器土偶はレプリカ品でしたし。

(Translated by Google) Inside the museum, a replica of a shading clay figurine excavated from the Kamegaoka Stone Age Ruins is on display. The original one is at the Tokyo National Museum, and the other replica is at the Aomori Prefectural Museum of Local History, but due to lack of earthquake resistance in some parts of the building, the museum has been closed, so Calco seems to be the only place in Aomori where you can see the replica. . In addition, a large pit building has been restored inside the museum, and earthenware, stone tools, artifacts, human bones, etc. excavated from Tsugaru City are on display. (Original) 館内には、亀ヶ岡石器時代遺跡から出土した遮光器土偶のレプリカが展示されてます。現物は東京国立博物館にあり、レプリカのもう一体は青森県立郷土館にあるようですが、建物の一部の耐震性能不足により、休館のため、青森でレプリカを見れるのは、カルコだけのようです。 また、館内には大型竪穴建物が復元されており、つがる市内で出土した土器、石器、遺物、人骨等が展示されてます。

(Translated by Google) Visited in July 2024. There's not much to see, but I think the human bones that were excavated are definitely worth seeing. It seems to be from the Jomon period, but I can't help but be surprised at how old it is, beyond anything I could have imagined. It is said that there are 113 ruins in Tsugaru City, which is enough to convince you that it is an area that should be registered as a World Heritage Site. I feel like the female staff at the counter is too energetic, which I don't like, but I think she's really friendly. He was kind enough to give me a brief explanation when I entered the museum. The lady at the shop was very kind, and even though I purchased a replica clay figurine (Kamegaoka ware), she was kind enough to tell me what to do in case it was damaged. It was funny, saying “Shako-chan, Shako-chan”. It's a great place to feel the local flavor.

(Translated by Google) He is a great man representing Aomori Prefecture. His costumes, guitars, calligraphy, etc. are on display. His handwriting was very beautiful and meticulous. He may have been playing a character for TV. His songs, such as "Snow Country," give the impression of being an enka song, but his comic band-like songs were a big hit at first. "We're Going to Tokyo" made quite an impact. I also like the recent rap-style song "THUGARU." There is also a stage where you can wear his stage costume and sing karaoke.

(Translated by Google) Matsukura Shrine is a shrine located in Maeda Nome Nowaki, Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture. I visited it in 2025 at the Tsugaru Thirty-Three Kannon Temples. Why is it considered a shrine, even though it is a Kannon temple? Kannon temples are mainly Buddhist temples, but this area in Aomori Prefecture is a region that still retains the strong influence of the Shinbutsu Shugo era before the Meiji Shinbutsu Bunri Edict, and is also a valuable place where you can learn about the history of that time. I used a quote to find out what kind of shrine it is. The deities enshrined are Oyamatsumi-no-kami, Onamuchi-no-kami, and Sukunahiko-no-kami. The annual festival is held on July 10th of the lunar calendar. The 25th temple of the Tsugaru Thirty-Three Kannon Temples, the main deity is the Eleven-Headed Kannon Bodhisattva. The hymn is: "Guide me, Kannon, I swear here, Matsukura no Miya", Mount Bonju has been known as a sacred mountain since ancient times, and although the date is unknown, Homyobo (a senior disciple of En no Gyoja) founded Kannon Temple. In the second year of the Daido era (807), Emperor Heizei built 80 shrines and over 300 buildings and temples to protect the capital from evil spirits, as Mount Bonju is a sacred place located northeast of Kyoto. Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, who was sent to this area on the Eastern Expedition, also enshrined an eleven-headed Kannon statue and worked to restore the temple. Mount Bonju developed into one of the major sacred places in Tsugaru and was even called the Tsugaru 3,000 temples at one point, but as time went on, faith in the temple faded and it fell into disuse. In the second year of the Shogen era (1208), Yoshitsugu and Yoshiuchi brothers, members of the Fujiwara clan of Hiraizumi, Oshu (present-day Hiraizumi Town, Iwate Prefecture), escaped from Minamoto no Yoritomo's pursuers and arrived here, where they rebuilt the dilapidated Kannon temple and invited the monk Ishigaki Konko to re-open the temple. Matsukura Shrine later flourished again under the protection of the Ando clan, who became the rulers of Tsugaru, with many temples built and its name changed. However, during the Sengoku period, the Ando clan was defeated by the invasion of the Nanbu clan and left Tsugaru, causing it to decline again. When it was restored as Matsukura Hiryu-gu Shrine during the Bunroku era (1593-1596), it came to be worshiped as Nakayama Gongen, one of the three great Gongen deities of Tsugaru, and in 1645 (Shoho 2), Tsugaru Nobuyoshi, the third lord of Hirosaki Domain (domain office: Hirosaki Castle), selected it as a temple of the Thirty-Three Kannon Temples of Tsugaru. During the Horeki era (1751-1763), as many worshippers began to visit the shrine, a temple town called Odakano was created, and faith in the shrine spread further and it became more lively. In the early Meiji period, the Shinbutsu Bunri Edict was issued and the subsequent anti-Buddhist movement swept through the area, leading to the establishment of a Buddhist shrine, which was renamed Yamiokami Shrine, which enshrines Amaterasu Omikami. In 1872, the shrine was renamed Matsukura Shrine when it was combined with Maeda Nome Kumano Shrine, and in 1873, it was listed as a local shrine. In 1911, it was designated as a shrine that offers sacred offerings, and the former Kumano Shrine building is now the Satomiya (remote worship site) of Matsukura Shrine. This is a good place for those who like historical buildings, temples, Buddhist statues, shrines, power spots, healing places, Kannon sacred places where prayers are made for the fulfillment of wishes, spectacular views, landscape photography, healing places, Japanese gardens, worship, autumn leaves, hot springs, castles, sightseeing in Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture, collecting temple stamps, etc. (Original) 青森県 五所川原市 前田野目野脇に鎮座している神社 松倉神社、2025に津軽三十三観音霊場にて参拝致しました、観音霊場なのになぜ神社と思われます、観音霊場と言えば仏教が主体の霊場ですがここ青森県内は明治の神仏分離令前の神仏習合時代を色濃く残してる地域で当時の歴史を知る事が出来る貴重な場所でも在ります、どの様な神社か引用を用いて調べて見ました、御祭神は大山祇神、大名持神、少名彦神。例祭は、旧暦７月１０日。津軽三十三観音霊場 第二十五番札所札所本尊は、十一面観世音菩薩 御詠歌はあな尊と　導き給え　観世音　誓いをここに　松倉の宮、梵珠山は古くから霊山として知られ、年代不詳ながら法明坊（役小角の高弟）が観音寺を創建しました。 大同２年（８０７）、平城天皇は、梵珠山が京都から北東にあたる霊地である事から都の鬼門鎮護の為、８０社、３００余の堂宇、社殿を造営、東夷東征で当地まで派遣された坂上田村麻呂も十一面観音像を安置し再興に務めました。その後、梵珠山は津軽の一大霊場として発展し何時しか津軽三千坊とも呼ばれましたが時代が下がると信仰も薄れ衰微しました。承元２年（１２０８）、奥州平泉（現在の岩手県平泉町）藤原家の一族である吉次、吉内兄弟は源頼朝の追手から逃れ当地に辿り着き、荒廃していた観音寺を再建、石垣金光上人を招いて中興開山します。 松倉神社はその後、津軽の覇者となった安東氏の庇護のもと多くの堂宇が建ち名並び再び隆盛しましたが、戦国時代に安東氏が南部氏の侵攻により敗れ去り津軽の地を離れると再び衰微しました。 文禄年間（１５９３～１５９６年）に松倉飛龍宮として再興されると津軽三大権現の１つ中山権現として信仰されるようになり正保２年（１６４５）には弘前藩（藩庁：弘前城）３代藩主津軽信義より津軽三十三観音霊場の札所に選定されました。 宝暦年間（１７５１～１７６３年）、数多くの参拝者が訪れるようになると小高野と呼ばれる門前町も出来、益々信仰が広がり活気を呈するようになりました。明治時代初頭に発令された神仏分離令とその後に吹き荒れた廃仏毀釈運動により仏式が配され、改めて天照大神を祀る闇おかみ神社に社号を改めています。明治５年（１８７２）に前田野目 熊野宮を合祀した事を機に松倉神社に改称、明治６年（１８７３）に郷社郷社に列し、明治４４年（１９１１）に神饌幣帛料供進社に指定、旧熊野宮の社殿を松倉神社の里宮（遥拝所）としています。歴史的建造物、仏閣、仏像、神社、パワースポット、癒し処、観音霊場諸願成就祈願、絶景、景色撮影、癒し処、日本庭園、参拝、紅葉、温泉、城、青森県 五所川原市 観光、御朱印集め等好きな方に良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) It says it's 3km to the shrine entrance, but it's really 3km! ? The road is so long. There's only one road, so you won't get lost, but there isn't much space to get in the right direction if an oncoming car comes (I feel this is especially true the further you go towards the back).Someone wrote that it would be better to use a cane at the torii gate, but I didn't have one. It was. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to climb up the mountain path. There are stairs, but the steps are quite steep, so it's a little easier to climb up the slope next to the stairs. Postscript: On September 16th, I went up to the shrine behind Kannondo. If you go around from the side to the back of the Kannon-do and follow the path that people would have taken, you will come to a slope with a rope down. When I grabbed the rope and went up, I saw three shrines. When I looked down, it was a spectacular view, but there were bears and I couldn't connect to my cell phone, so I honestly didn't want to go up again. (Original) 神社入り口まで3kmって書いてるけどほんとに3km！？ってくらい道中が長い。1本道だから迷わないけど、対向車が来た際に丁度よく入れるスペースが少ない(奥に向かうほど特にそう感じる)鳥居に杖がある為使用した方がいいと書いてる人がいましたが杖無かったです。大体20分から30分くらい山道をひたすら登ります。階段あるけど、段差がキツイのでちょこちょこ階段横の坂を登った方が多少楽です。追記:9月16日観音堂裏の御神体の祠まで上がりました。観音堂の真横から裏へ周り、人の通ったであろう道をズンズン進むとロープの下がった坂があります。ロープを握り上に上がると祠が3個ありました。下を見るととても絶景でしたが、熊が出るというし携帯も繋がらないので正直あと上がりたくない💦

(Translated by Google) Tsugaru Thirty-Three Kannon Sacred Site No. 25 The shrine itself is quite far from human settlements. It's in the mountains, and there have been reports of bear sightings, so I don't really want to go there. When you go, it is better to pray with multiple people and carry a bell to avoid bears. Please note that cell phone reception will not work unless you go to Kannondo on the mountain! (Original) 津軽三十三観音霊場第25番 人里からかなり離れている上に神社自体 山の中にあり、熊の目撃情報も出ているので、あまり行きたくはないです。 行くときは複数の人数でお参り&熊避けの鈴を携帯した方が良いです。 携帯の電波は山の上の観音堂に行かないと通じないのでご注意！

(Translated by Google) It's a hidden place with a great atmosphere. It was such a power spot that I had a hard time falling asleep that night😆 (Original) 秘境だし雰囲気抜群。 パワースポットすぎて、私はその日の夜はなかなか寝つけませんでした😆

(Translated by Google) The path from the entrance to the Kannon-do was long and I was very impressed (I was worried that I might see a bear, so I went there while shouting loudly). (Original) 入口から観音堂まで道が長くその分感動がありました（熊に会わないか心配で鈴と大声を出しながら行きました）

(Translated by Google) Tsugaru 33 Kannon 25th sacred place. Both roads and mountain climbing are difficult. It is located in a place that makes you think of this as training. There was a temple at the top of the mountain while I was out of breath, and I made sure to pay my respects. (Original) 津軽三十三観音二十五番霊場。 道路も山登りも険しい道のり。 これぞ修行と思わせる場所にあります。 息を切らしながら登った先にお堂があり、しっかりとお参りしてきました。

(Translated by Google) ``Matsukura Kannon is the oldest Kannon in Tsugaru, and it is said to be of great benefit because it is the most difficult place to visit. (Excerpt from Matsukura Shrine magazine) I was an adult female, and after climbing for about 10 minutes from the torii gate at the entrance, I came to a place where there was a saisen box. The slope and roughness of the road is such that it can be called a mountain road. I almost slipped several times due to the rain a few days ago. If you are confident in your legs and hips, you should be able to arrive without any problems, but we recommend that you be fully prepared before climbing. I was a little scared because there were reports of bear sightings, but other than that it was a really pleasant place. I'm glad I went. (Original) 『松倉の観音は津軽最古の観音にして最大の難所故にその御利益絶大なりという。(松倉神社誌より抜粋)』 成人女性で、入り口の鳥居から10分ほど登ると賽銭箱のある場所に出ました。 まさに山道と言っていいほどの傾斜と悪路具合です。数日前の雨の影響もあり何度か滑りそうになりました。 足腰に自信のある方なら問題なく到着できるでしょうが、準備は万全にして登ることをおすすめします。 熊の目撃情報もあったので少し怖かったのですが、それを除けば本当に気持ちのいい場所でした。行けて良かったです。

The story of how a female bell that was supposed to be placed at Hirosaki Choshoji Temple sank into Jusanminato is well known. Children were ringing bells.

Its a cool place to learn more about the history of shamisen in the Tsugaru area. They also have shamisen performances everyday that you can enjoy before or after you tour the museum. There is also a shamisen tournament that I was able to watch this year which brought talent from all over the area. It was a joy to listen.

Interesting place. I highly recommend you try and come when there's a live performance. It's very different hearing shamisen live vs recorded. The museum has some interesting things inside it. I also recommend getting the combined ticket for the Osamu Dazai museum. The house has a very interesting architectural style as it was built with both western and traditional Japanese styles in mind. It's fun to wander around and see how the architect combined both styles into the one house.

Great place to experience real tsugaru shamisen performance.

a good place to know the instrument

Small

(Translated by Google) Visited on August 2, 2025 The shamisen live performance is scheduled. It's a good idea to check the performance time beforehand. Joint tickets with Shayokan are also available. The Tsugaru shamisen became widely known when it was recognized as a solo instrument rather than simply an accompaniment. I learned about Jintabou, who transformed a blind man's livelihood into a performing art. Thank you very much. Jintabou's stone monument was located along the Iwaki River on the way to Takayama Inari Shrine, my next destination, so I also visited there. (Original) 2025年8月2日 訪問 三味線ライブの時間が決まっています。ライブ時間を先に見てからいくと良いかと思います。斜陽館と共通チケットもあります。 津軽三味線が広く知られるようになったのは、単なる伴奏楽器から独奏楽器へと認知されたから。盲目のかたの生業のひとつから芸能となるきっかけとなった仁太坊さんのことを知ることができました。ありがとうございました。 仁太坊さんの石碑が、次の訪問地の高山稲荷神社に行く途中の岩木川にありましたので、そちらにも訪問しました

(Translated by Google) The sound of the Tsugaru shamisen shook my soul and gave me goosebumps! It was truly moving to be immersed in the sound of a live Tsugaru shamisen for 20 minutes! It seems that the performers change depending on the time, so if you visit on a different day you might be able to enjoy a different sound. The people at the hall were all very kind and warm. Photography of the performance is allowed, but video and audio recording are prohibited. Please come and experience the live sound that a video can't convey! Even the museum staff were completely immersed in the performance, exclaiming, "Wow!" The sound of the Tsugaru shamisen is rough, yet powerful, like the north wind. We are grateful that an instrument and style of playing that is so suited to Tsugaru has been born. The Tsugaru shamisen, which was born here, continues to be loved in this modern world because there is something captivating about the performers and strings. (Original) 津軽三味線の音色に魂が震え鳥肌でした！ 生演奏で20分間津軽三味線の音を浴びられるのは、心からの感動です！ その時によって奏者が変わるようなので、別日に訪れるとまた違った音色を楽しめそうです。 会館の方も優しい方ばかりで温かかったです。 演奏の写真撮影は出来ますが、動画や録音は禁止となっています。 実際にこちらを訪れて動画では伝わらない生の音を感じてください！ 資料館側も『へぇ〜』と唸るような内容に完全に没入してしまいました。 北風のような荒々しくも芯のある津軽三味線の音色。 この津軽の地に相応しい楽器と弾き方が生まれたことに感謝です。 この地で産声を上げた津軽三味線がこうして現代の世で愛され続けるのは、人の心を惹きつける何かが奏者と弦から放たれているのかもしれません。

I was afraid to enter this restaurant at 1st as it seems high end. Walked in and turns out to be wonderful. Ordered a sushi bowl includes soup and chawan mushi. Very delicious and most importantly the great hospitality. Plus the price was affordable. Recommended to try this restaurant

(Translated by Google) I came here on the recommendation of a taxi driver. The rose flyer was very delicious. The textures were varied and the sea urchin was sweet and good. Even though it was lunch, I was able to order a single item, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would like to make sure to stop by when I come to Aomori. (Original) ﾀｸｼｰの運転手さんのｵｽｽﾒで来店。ばらチラシはとても美味しく頂けました。食感も様々で雲丹も甘くて良かったです。お昼なのに単品注文も可能で、しっかり堪能させて頂きました。青森へ来る時は必ず寄らせて頂きたいと考えています。

(Translated by Google) The first sushi restaurant in Goshogawara. We had a great time in the private room on the second floor. The quality of our work is conveyed through our food. Not only is the food impressive, but the staff's customer service is also courteous and pleasant. Finally, there's the service, and the apples they served were delicious! After receiving some local information from Mr. Itamae, we enjoyed the night in Goshogawara. (Original) 五所川原で初めてのお寿司屋さん。2階の個室で楽しい時間を過ごしました。しっかりとした質の高い仕事が料理を通して伝わります。お料理の感動はもちろんのこと、スタッフの接客も丁寧で好感をもてます。また最後にサービスです、と言って出されたリンゴの美味しかったこと！しばらく板前さんから地元情報もいただき、五所川原の夜はふけていきました。

(Translated by Google) When we asked the driver of our chartered taxi about the restaurant he recommended, he told us, ``The Bara Chirashi here is excellent!'' so we decided to visit. Soft, crunchy, and chewy...it's a tamebako-like chirashi sushi that contains a lot of seafood with various textures. The taste of the dashi soy sauce (??) is also exquisite! I was also very satisfied with the Futomaki, Kitayori Nigiri, Whale Bacon Nigiri (I had a big refill), and Geso Nigiri. I live in the Kanto region, so I don't often go to Aomori, but it was a restaurant that I would want to eat at again when I go to Aomori. The staff at the counter were friendly and the shop had a nice atmosphere. (Original) 貸切タクシーの運転手さんに、おすすめのお店を伺ったところ、「ここのばらちらしは絶品！」だと教えてくださったので訪問。 柔らか・コリコリ・プチプチ…いろんな食感の海鮮がたくさん入っていて、玉手箱のようなちらし寿司です。 出汁醤油(？？)の味も絶品！ 他にも、太巻き・北寄の握り・くじらベーコンの握り(めっちゃおかわりしました)・ゲソの握りなどをいただき大満足。 関東住みなので、なかなか行く事はない場所(青森)ですが、青森へ行ったらまた食べに行きたいと思えるお店でした。 カウンターの板さんも気さくで、雰囲気もよいお店でした。

(Translated by Google) I use this restaurant for special occasions. All the food is delicious, but unfortunately, the contents of the same course meal seem to be getting cheaper every year. Prices are high, so I was willing to pay more, but I wanted high-quality food. The service was also terrible. Not only were there no explanations for the course meal, but the waiter even forgot which dishes were brought. In the end, some dishes didn't arrive, but I was so disappointed that I just left the restaurant. I was shocked by the decline in the quality of service. (Original) 特別な日に利用させて貰ってます。料理はどれも美味しいですが、残念なのは同じコース料理でも内容が年々安っぽくなってるのが残念です。物価高なので値段高くしてもいいので、質の高い料理を食べたかったです。またサービス面は最悪でした。コース料理は説明がないうえに、どの料理を持ってきたか店員の方も忘れていました。結局出てきてない料理がありましたが、もう萎えたのでそのまま店を出ました。サービスの質の低下にショックを受けてしまいました。

(Translated by Google) I visited during my trip to Aomori. It's a great deal to be able to enjoy this meal for around 2,000 yen even at night. The scallops were especially delicious. (I'm sure it was 2,000 yen nigiri sushi...maybe not.) There were regular customers at the counter, so we were quickly seated at a table in the back, which was like a private room. It was great to be able to have a relaxing meal. (Original) 青森旅行の際に伺いました。夜でも2,000円程でこの内容が食べられるのはとてもお得ですね。特にホタテが美味しかったです。 (確か2,000円のにぎり寿司だったはず…もしかしたら違ったかもですが) カウンターには常連さん達がいらっしゃったため、すぐに奥の個室のようになったテーブル席に通していただけました。とても落ち着いて食事ができてよかったです。

(Translated by Google) Chirashi bowl! Used for lunch. The chirashi bowl comes with soup, chawanmushi, and dessert for 1,100 yen, which is quite impressive. They also have eel bowl, so I would like to try it. The shop is also beautiful and has a great atmosphere. It can be used whether you are coming alone, with family, or entertaining guests. If you can't decide where to go for lunch in Goshogawara, this is the place! (Original) ちらし丼！ ランチで利用。ちらし丼にお吸い物、茶碗蒸し、デザートがついて1,100円はさすがの一言。 鰻丼もあるので食べてみたい。 お店もキレイで雰囲気もあります。 一人で来ても家族や接待でも使えそうです。 五所川原でランチに迷ったらここが良い！

Pottery at it's finest. Learn how intricate and majestic each masterpiece has been made. ;)

Great artist

(Translated by Google) I hadn't been to Tsugaru Kanayama Pottery since I was in elementary school. This time, I dropped by with my family for the first time in a while, and it was just as fun as ever! And what I was struck by once again was the incredible skill of the artisans. Each piece of pottery on display had a unique presence, combining ease of use and beauty, and I found myself staring intently at them. The atmosphere of the kiln and the warmth of the pottery were still there, and it was a wonderful time that felt both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. The staff were also very friendly, and I was able to enjoy a very pleasant tour and shopping experience. It's a place that locals should definitely visit, not just for sightseeing and an experience. Each season has different charms, so I'd like to visit again at different times of the year. (Original) 小学生の頃に訪れて以来、ずっと来られていなかった津軽金山焼さん。今回、久しぶりに家族と一緒に立ち寄ってみましたが、やっぱり楽しい！そして改めて感じたのが、職人さんたちの技術の素晴らしさ。 展示されている焼き物はどれも一点もののような存在感があり、使いやすさと美しさを兼ね備えていて、じっくり見入ってしまいました。窯場の雰囲気や焼き物の温かみも健在で、懐かしさと新鮮さが同時に味わえる素敵な時間となりました。 スタッフの方も親切で、とても気持ちよく見学・お買い物ができました。 観光や体験としてはもちろん、地元の方にもぜひ一度訪れてみてほしい場所です。季節ごとに違った魅力があるので、また時期を変えて訪れたいです。

(Translated by Google) I visited there as a pottery market was being held during Golden Week. A corner of Satoyama. The large parking lot was almost full. It was quite crowded. There is also a restaurant and cafe, as well as a large art gallery that you can enjoy. It seems that several artists are exhibiting and selling their works jointly, and although they share the same climbing kiln, their works are diverse. Tableware, vases, lampshades, coffee cups with dog designs, etc. The designs, genres, presence or absence of glazes, and how they are used are unique depending on the artist, and you will never get bored just looking at them. There was also a half price sale going on, so I got my favorite coffee dripper for half price. I found a tea bowl for everyday use that I liked the color of the glaze and the way it dripped, so I bought it at full price. I only intended to look at it😅. However, my wife paid for it♪ I heard that if you follow me on Instagram, you can get 10% off. The location is a little higher than Goshogawara city, and we were able to see Mt. Iwaki, the famous mountain of Tsugaru Fuji, on the day. One final word. Even the same works by the same artist have different facial expressions, shiny skin, etc. If you find a piece you like, take the plunge and buy it! lol) (Original) GW中、ちょうど陶器市が開かれているということで訪問しました。里山の一角。広い駐車場もほぼ満車。結構な賑わいでした。レストラン喫茶もあり、作品ギャラリーも広く、楽しめます。 何人かの作家さんが共同で展示販売されているようで、登窯などは一緒のようですが、作品は多彩。食器類、花瓶、ランプシェード、ワンちゃんデザインのコーヒーカップなど。デザインやジャンル、釉薬の有無、使い方が作家さんによって個性があり、見ているだけでも全く飽きません。 半額のセールも開催中だったため、気に入ったコーヒードリッパーを半額で。普段使いの茶碗は釉薬の色と垂れ具合が気に行った作品が見つかってしまい、定価購入。見るだけのつもりが😅。と言っても家内が払ってくれました♪インスタフォローで一律１０%オフになったとのこと。 場所は五所川原市内からは少し高台にあり、名峰津軽富士の岩木山も当日は拝むことができました。 最後に一言。同じ作家さんの同じ作品でも表情、艶肌などが一品一品異なります。気に入った作品が見つかれば、思い切って買っちゃいましょう！笑）

(Translated by Google) It's a spot that makes you feel like you've been transported to the world of Ghibli. And the coffee topping on the soft serve ice cream here is incredibly delicious. The rich milk matches perfectly with the refreshing taste of the coffee beans. You can choose between a cup or a cone for your soft serve ice cream (a spoon is included). (Original) ジブリの世界にでも来たかのようなスポットです。 そして、ここのソフトクリームにコーヒーのトッピングがめちゃくちゃ美味しいです。濃厚なミルクに、コーヒー豆のスッキリ感がマッチしてます。 ソフトクリームは、カップかコーンか選べます。（スプーン付き）

(Translated by Google) I decided to go there based on the "Spring Pottery Festival" signs that I saw everywhere. There were no cars on the way, and I felt like I was heading to a deserted place... When we arrived, there were a lot of cars parked here, and foreigners who appeared to be passengers on cruise ships docked in Aomori City were shopping on sightseeing buses. Unfortunately, the weather was so bad that there were large puddles scattered around the unpaved parking lot. When you think of pottery, you might think of things like plates and vases, but there are a lot of cute animal ornaments. On this day, there will be a corner devoted to cats, with items that cat lovers can't miss. As someone who is more of a dog person myself, I'm looking forward to the establishment of a dog-centered corner. The second floor has a gallery and a lampshade corner with gentle light. Pottery is on sale at half price in the outdoor tent. Even if there is a reason, the pattern did not come out well, so there is no problem in using it. If you like it, you can enjoy shopping at a good price. The kiln has an exhibition of the Kanayama-yaki production process, and you can not only shop but also experience it. It's like a ceramic theme park. There are restrooms located throughout the grounds, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about using the restroom. There was one beckoning cat that looked like it would be safe to say that I had made it myself, so I bought it for half the price. Perhaps because of this beckoning cat, I received an invitation ticket (free ticket) to an art museum 😂 (Original) あちこちに散見される「春の陶器祭り」の看板を頼りに行ってみることに。 道中は車も無く、だんだん人気のない場所へ向かって行く気が… いざ着いてみると、ここだけやたら車がたくさん停まっており、青森市に停泊中の客船のお客様と思われる外国人の方々が観光バスでお買い物中。 あいにくのお天気だったため、舗装されてない駐車場には大きな水たまりがちらほら。 陶器といえばお皿とか花器みたいなものばかりかなと思いきや、かわいい動物の置き物がたくさん。 この日は猫をメインにしたコーナーが設けてあり、猫好きなら見逃せない品々が。 どちらかといえば犬派の自分としては、犬をメインにしたコーナーの設置が待たれるところ。 ２階にはギャラリーと優しい光のランプシェードコーナーあり。 野外のテントでは訳あり陶器が半額で販売中。訳ありといえども模様がうまく出なかったとかなので、使用自体には支障なし。それはそれで味があると感じられる方ならお得にお買い物が楽しめる。 窯場には金山焼の製作過程の展示があり、お買い物だけでなく、体験もできる。 まさに陶器のテーマパークといったところ。 敷地内のあちこちにトイレが設置されているので、トイレの心配なく安心して楽しめる。 ひとつだけ自分で作ったと言ってもバレなさそうな顔をした招き猫があったので、半額で購入してみた。 この招き猫の効果か、美術館の招待券（タダ券）をもらった😂

(Translated by Google) There is a large free parking lot. There is a climbing kiln, a gallery, and a coffee shop that serves wood-fired pizza on the premises, and there were a lot of people visiting, probably because it was Golden Week. Children also enjoyed making Jomon pottery and playing ring toss. (Original) 広い無料駐車場あります。敷地内には登窯やギャラリー、窯焼きピザの喫茶店がありGWということもあるのか沢山の人が訪れていました。縄文土器製作の体験や輪投げなどお子様連れも楽しんでいました。

(Translated by Google) This famous restaurant in Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture, is a must-visit when you come to Aomori. Its seasoning is geared more towards Tsugaru City locals than the Issaan restaurants in Tokyo and other areas, and the noodles have a firm yet smooth texture. The shrimp used in the soba and tempura donburi are large, and I heard that they are made with great care, which really gave me a sense of the chef's passion. I would definitely go back for the tempura donburi and tempura soba. It was very busy at lunchtime. The atmosphere is great, and the Japanese spirit is evident in both the service and the food, making this a restaurant I love. The prices were also very reasonable, and I felt like I wanted more. I'll definitely go again. It was really delicious. (Original) 青森に来たら一度は訪れた方がいい青森県五所川原市にある名店。 都内や各地にある一茶庵よりもつがる市の地元の人向けの味つけと麺は腰もありますがツルツルの食感です。 蕎麦や天とじ丼等に使われている海老のサイズが大きくてこだわりでやられていると言う話しを聞きとても職人の気持ちを感じました。 天とじ丼と天とじ蕎麦をまたぜひ食べに行きたいです。 お昼はとても混んでいました。 とにかく雰囲気が良く接客や料理にも日本人の心意気が伝わって来てとても大好きなお店です。 お値段もとてもお手頃でもっと取って下さいって気持ちになりました。 またぜひ行かせて頂きます。 本当に美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I ate a set of mini tempura bowl and mini tanuki soba 😃 The soba felt a little hard, but it was delicious 😋🍴💕 The parking lot is behind the store, so it's hard to find (;o;) (Original) ミニ天丼とミニたぬきそばのセットを食べました😃そばは、少し硬めに感じましたが美味しいです😋🍴💕駐車場が店の裏にあり、分かりにくいですね(;o;)

(Translated by Google) Soba is my favorite type of noodle because of its strong white color and smooth texture. I ordered tempura soba, but it was rich in soup. The large portion was also delicious! Tempura is mainly shrimp. The strong texture of the fine shrimp makes you feel special. Although the products are well-prepared, the prices are reasonable and appealing to the average person. (Original) ソバは白色が強くツルツルコシもあってとても好みの麺です。天ざる蕎麦を頼みましたが、ツユも出し濃いめ。大盛りもペロリといけちゃいました！ 天ぷらはエビがメイン。立派なエビの強めの食感がこだわりを感じさせます。 しっかり仕込んでいますが、価格は庶民的な好感の持てるお店です。

(Translated by Google) I arrived before 12:00 on a weekday and was able to be seated without waiting. However, by the time I left around 12:00, the restaurant was full and there were some customers waiting to be seated. The parking lot is not next to the store, but you can park around the left side and park behind the store. There were table seats and seats in a raised area, and there was also a counter seat in a part of the raised area. The menu is wide-ranging, with seasonal limited menus, rice dishes, and set menus, so I think you'll be able to enjoy it over and over again. This time, I had the mini tempura bowl and mini tanuki soba set served with chilled soba noodles. I didn't think there was much meat at first glance, but it was packed with filling and had a lot of volume. The tempura bowl had a strong sauce flavor and was filling, and the cold soba noodles were also easy to eat, and I enjoyed the soba soup until the end. It was a very satisfying soba restaurant. (Original) 平日の12時前に伺って待ち時間なく着席できました。ただ、12時を回って帰る頃には、店内がいっぱいになっていて、席待ちのお客さんもいました。 駐車場は店の隣ではなく、左側から回って店裏に停めるかたちです。 店内はテーブル席と小上がりの席があり、小上がりの一部分にカウンター席もありました。 メニューは幅広で、季節ごとの限定メニューもあり、ご飯ものの種類もあり、セットもありなので、何度も訪れて楽しめると思いました。 今回はミニ天丼とミニたぬきそばセットを冷やしそばでいただきました。パッと身はそんなに量はないかと思いましたが、中身が詰まっていてボリュームはしっかりありました。 天丼はタレの味がしっかりしていて食べ応えがあり、冷たいそばも食べやすく蕎麦湯で出汁を最後までいただきました。 満足度の高い蕎麦屋さんでした。

(Translated by Google) I traveled all the way from Hyogo Prefecture to Aomori Prefecture to see the Tachineputa. I was feeling a little hungry before the festival started, so I stopped into this restaurant. I saw a picture of a tempura bowl on the menu and ordered it without thinking. The shrimp tempura was huge, plump and delicious, and I was blown away. After eating, I borrowed a chair from the restaurant to watch the parade. After a while, a large Tachineputa came towards me head-on, and I was mesmerized by its power. If I ever visit Goshogawara, I'd definitely like to go and eat here. (Original) 兵庫県から、立佞武多を見に遥々青森県へ。 あ祭りの始まる前ちょっとお腹がすいたのでこちらのお店に入りました。メニューの写真を見て天とじ丼があり、思わず注文しました。なんと大きな海老天でプリプリしていてとても美味しく感動しました。食後はお店の椅子をお借りして観覧させて頂きました。しばらくすると立佞武多の大きいのが真正面からやって来て、その迫力に魅了しました。 五所川原を訪れる時があれば是非食べに行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) This is a soba restaurant located just after entering Goshogawara City from Inui Bridge. I had a set of oyakodon and tanuki soba. The dashi was thick and delicious! The overall taste is strong. I think people with a salty mouth will like this restaurant 😊 The parking lot was a little difficult to find, but once you get used to it, it probably won't be a problem. There were quite a few people inside, so I could tell that this restaurant is loved by the locals ✨ (Original) 乾橋から五所川原市に入ってすぐのところにある蕎麦屋さんです。 親子丼とたぬきそばのセットを食べました。 ダシが濃くて美味しかったです！ 全体的に味が濃い目。しょっぱ口の人は好きなお店だと思います😊 駐車場が少しわかりにくかったですが、慣れれば気にならないんだろうなぁ。 結構人も入っていて、地元の方に愛されているお店なのがわかりました✨

(Translated by Google) There was a menu item called "Chilled Mujina" that isn't available in Hokkaido, so I ordered that. First, the cold soba noodles were topped with the ingredients of chilled Chinese noodles: bean sprouts, shredded egg, shredded pickled ginger, and fried tempura bits and simmered deep-fried tofu. My impression was that the simmered deep-fried tofu was a bit salty. The soba noodles and the soup didn't seem to go well together either. It was lunchtime and the restaurant was busy, but it was undeniable that the taste was a bit lacking, which was disappointing. (Original) 冷やしムジナと云う北海道にはないメニューがあったので注文してみた。まず、冷たい蕎麦に冷やし中華の具材、モヤシ、錦糸たまご、千切り、紅生姜などに揚げ玉と煮揚げがのっている。 感想を言えば煮揚げがしょっぱい。蕎麦とつゆも合わなく感じた。昼時で繁盛している割に味が今ひとつな感じが否めなく残念。

Pretty convenient park with a small zoo. There is a lake too where you can rent a boat. If you want to walk more there is a bridge with a beautiful view. I had so much fun around here 💕

Great Park, quiet & peaceful place. I was able to truly enjoy, relax, slow down & meditation. I have traveling to Japan 3-4 times a year, love Japan, because anything is build for human.

Best place to take a photo with rail and train ongoing.

I cannot recommend going to this park at all, sadly. The park itself might be nice to take a walk around, however there is a small area that houses rabbits and also bears. We first saw the rabbits and I was positively surprised that they had a lot of space - we have bunnies at home ourselves and therefore know that most bunnies are not being kept in big enough enclosures (the MINIMUM for 2 rabbits is 4m²!). However whilst they also had small houses for shelter there was no enrichment for them whatsoever. It also appears that they were fed solely on oats, which is fine for them to eat, but not exactly nutritious and should only be fed in small amounts occasionally. Bunnies should have access to fresh greens 24/7 and not a single one of the enclosures (there were 5) had any greens at all. Makes me wonder if they get any greens at all, or if they already ate it all up (in which case they're being underfed on greens). Also one of the bunnies was very clearly sick with it's head tilted to the side heavily (could be a sign of E.C., a highly contagious disease amongst bunnies (though, to my knowledge, does not commonly spread to humans)) so I sincerely hope it's being examined by a vet regularly. Bunnies aside, they have 2 bears in what I can only call a pit. A concrete pit. They had no shelter and no enrichment at all, their claws were extremely long (consequence of lack of proper enrichment/enclosure design) and whilst they didn't appear malnourished, they seemed extremely bored and sad. They had NOTHING inside that enclosure that was also way too small for 2 bears! I felt so bad for them. These bears should either be relocated to a proper zoo or be given enrichment. For these poor bears even a plain tree trunk would probably be the excitement of their lives. In conclusion, if you care about animal rights, stay away from this park or at least avoid the animal corner. There are better places to spend your time in Aomori prefecture.

Wish I could give this 5 stars but the treatment of animals is very poor here. There is a very small concrete enclosure for 3 beautiful bears. It is so sad to see, there is nothing for them to do and nothing but concrete floor and concrete blocks. Hopefully others locally will speak out against this.

Worth the views

Very beautiful

(Translated by Google) A sacred place in Aomori Prefecture is Mt. Osore in Shimokita. However, the Kawakura Saino Kawara Jizo statue here also gives you a mysterious feeling. Inside the building, there are a large number of Jizo statues arranged in a row, and all of them are dressed in kimono, just like their own children (they were cute children), and toys are placed nearby. It's spectacular and I feel sad. In addition, the group of dolls in the building on the right hand side of the main image has an indescribable atmosphere. This is a group of married couple dolls that represent the wishes of parents for their children who died young to find a spouse in the afterlife. I thought about taking a photo of the dolls, but decided against it because I didn't want something else in the picture. palms together (Original) 青森県の霊場と言えば下北の恐山です。 しかし此処川倉賽の河原地蔵尊も不思議な感覚を味わえます。 建物の中にはひな壇状に夥しい数の地蔵尊があり、全地蔵にわが子のように（可愛いわが子だった）着物を着せ、おもちゃを付近に据えてあります。壮観ですし悲哀を感じます。 また本尊右手建物の中にある人形群がえもいわれぬ雰囲気です。 若くして亡くなった子供達があの世で配偶者を得られるようにと親の願いを込めた夫婦人形群です。 人形群も写真に収めようと思いましたが、何か別の物が写ってはいけないと判断し止めました。 合掌

(Translated by Google) Kanagi Town, Aomori Prefecture, Sainokawara Jizo statue Bus from Aomori Station to Goshogawara City, Transfer to Tsugaru Railway and get off at Ashino Koen Station, then walk about 2 km. I arrived at the station around 5pm, ate oden, went back and forth to the site, and was able to get back on the train at around 7pm. If you are walking, I think it would be a little difficult to visit after this. With Google guidance and the occasional big yellow sign, you won't get lost, but there aren't many street lights even on the relatively large roads. And it's probably because I visited after the festival season. There were houses and cars passing by, but I didn't see anyone. Walking close to the Jizo statue, the sunset over the lake in Ashino Park is very beautiful. That's probably the advantage of visiting in the evening. It's across from a building that looks like a day service with a hot spring facility. There are many gates made of large logs, From there, we walk towards the park grounds, into the mountains. Go through the gate and the entertainment hall will be on your left. Is laughter required at festivals? As you head forward, you can see temples and temples scattered along the road, and around the temples and further down the mountain, there are many Jizo statues enshrined in their original form, along with their costumes and decorations. . I didn't have much time to spare, and since I was wearing snow tires, they weren't suitable for slopes, so I didn't walk around much, so I just walked around with my hands together. As we will learn later, Jizos were enshrined in a similar way in other areas within Aomori Prefecture, so it is not just a form unique to this sacred place, but a large number of them gathered there due to the power of the place. I thought I would like to visit the shrine again, this time during the festival season, or when I am ready to walk. I'm glad I went (Original) 青森県金木町　賽の河原地蔵尊 五所川原市まで青森駅からバス、 津軽鉄道へ乗り換えて芦野公園駅下車、から2キロほど歩きます わたしは17時台に駅に着き、おでんを味わい現地へ往復して19時ちょうどくらいのに再び乗ることができました。 歩きならば、これ以降の訪問は微妙かな、と思います Googleの案内と、時おり大きな黄色い看板があるので酷く道に迷うことはないものの、わりと大きめな道路にも街灯は少ないです。 そして祭の時期を過ぎての訪問だからでしょう 人家はあり、車も通るけれど人を見かけませんでした。 歩いて地蔵尊ちかく、芦野公園の湖がわの夕陽がとてもキレイです 夕方に訪問するメリットと言えばそのくらいでしょう。 温泉施設つきのデイサービスみたいな建物の向かいというか 大きな丸太を用いた門がどーんとあり、 そこから向こうへ、公園の敷地に当たるのか、山地のなかへ歩いてゆきます 門をくぐり、すぐ先の左手には演芸場。 お祭りの際には笑いも求められるのでしょうか 先へ向かうと道なりにお堂などポツポツと見え、お堂の回りから山地の下った先のほうへもお地蔵が衣装や飾りなどと共に祠の中やそのままの姿でズラリと祀られています。 時間がとれないことと、タイヤ雪駄なので斜面向きでないことで歩き回ることはあまりせず、手を合わせながら巡らせてもらいました。 後々ですが、青森県内の別の地域などでも同様な形でお地蔵が祀られていたので、この霊場についてのみ特有の形式ではなく、場のパワーによって数多くそこに集まっている、ということなのでしょう 再び今度は祭の時期に、あるいはキチンと歩ける用意で改めて参拝したいとおもいました。 行ってよかったです

Personally, I think it's a shame because I can see that the previous one has accumulated more history. (Original) 水子供養を兼ねて伺いました。昨年訪れた時よりも中のお堂がさっぱりと片付いていました。個人的に前のほうが歴史を積み重ねてきたことが分かるので残念に思いました。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by while taking a walk. It was very impressive as it was decorated with pictures of Nirvana and the picture of hell that Dazai saw. Thank you for welcoming me so kindly! (Original) 散歩しながら立ち寄ったところ。 涅槃図や太宰さんが見た地獄絵図ご飾られていて迫力がありました。 とても優しく迎え入れてくださりありがとうございました！

(Translated by Google) It is a temple close to Shayokan, and there is an anecdote that Dazai often came there when he was young, accompanied by his babysitter Take. The large lying pine tree and the scary hanging scroll depicting hell may have some kind of influence on young Dazai's personality. There is also a Kannon statue with a nice face in the precincts. A monument inscribed with a line from the novel "Tsugaru" has also been erected. (Original) 斜陽館からも近く、幼少の太宰が子守のタケに連れられてよく来たという逸話の残るお寺です。横たわる大きな松の木や恐ろしい地獄絵の掛け軸などが、幼い太宰の人格に何らかの影響を及ぼしているかもしれません。境内には、いいお顔の観音様も。小説「津軽」の一文を刻んだ記念碑も建立されています。

(Translated by Google) I came from Tokyo to visit a relative's grave. Unfortunately, the management was overall sloppy. The wind was a little strong, but it wasn't well maintained before that. Also, there are strong political arguments. I felt very sad when I saw the words on the entrance. From the perspective of those who have been victims of crime and those who have been protecting graves for generations, I feel truly sorry for the fact that someone with no common sense has become their successor. I'm disappointed that it's like this even though I came from far away. (Original) 親族の墓参りで東京より訪れました。 残念だったのが、管理が全体的にずさんでした。風が少し強かったですが、そういう以前に手入れがいき届いてません。 それと政治的な主張が激しいです。入り口の文言を見てとても悲しくなりました。 犯罪の被害者になってしまった方や代々墓を守ってる人からすれば、常識はずれの人が後継になってしまい本当に同情します。 遠くから来たのにこういう形で残念です。
