I happened to catch a live performance event. Even though I couldn’t join the festival myself, the on-site exhibits and interactive performances still let me feel the festival’s lively vibe.
The lighting, music, and those huge Nebuta lantern floats right in front of you make it feel like you’re actually there.

I finally got the chance to visit the Aomori Museum of Art and see Yoshitomo Nara’s work—honestly, I fell in love with it at first sight.
Getting to run into art while traveling is the kind of thing that stays with you. -

Taking a boat ride on Lake Towada, we headed into the breeze and cruised across the waves. The water was sparkling.
The boatman gave thoughtful explanations the whole way, so we didn’t just see the scenery—we also heard the lake’s legends. It made the trip feel that much warmer and more meaningful. -

While walking along the shore of Lake Towada, the Maiden Statue stood quietly by the water, keeping visitors company. The lake, mountains, and sculpture together made a truly moving scene.

I took the Aoike train today, and the scenery along the way was truly beautiful, with such a peaceful feel.

Out of all the big and small ponds, Aoike is the most famous.
Walking through the forest, you feel a light breeze on your face, and even your breathing starts to feel easier. It’s such a peaceful, refreshing way to enjoy nature. -

I fell in love with this aquarium the moment I saw that huge glass tank. All the different fish were so soothing to watch.

Between the exhibits inside and the Namahage stage performance, it was much easier to understand where it all comes from.
There were also craftsmen doing live carving, and you could really feel their dedication to keeping the tradition alive. -

The Namahage performance is spooky but lively. It’s not just the visual impact and thundering drums—it also really shows how these traditions are being preserved and passed down.
