Aomori Tour Reviews

The Unofficial Mayor of Aomori

Our guide, Tadosan ,was very professional and knew everything about Aomori and seemingly everyone in Aomori, He was entertaining and very lovely.

A Magical Snowy Journey Through Hirosaki with Tomohiko!

Our tour of Hirosaki City with Tomohiko was an unforgettable experience! Despite the heavy snow in Aomori, the guide made sure we were comfortable and tailored the tour to our interests. Listening to authentic local music, trying delicious local cuisine and seeing the original castle keep covered in snow was absolutely magical! Tomohiko shared so many interesting facts about the city, its history, and culture. We truly enjoyed the tour and learned so much along the way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hirosaki!

I am very delighted to guide you to Hirosaki City, which was hit by a record-breaking heavy snowfall. The suspension of the JR Ou Main Line and other public transportation continued. You are my wonderful guests, originally coming from Moscow, and St. Petersburg. Avoiding the crowds and bustling cities of Kyoto and Osaka, your trip to Tokyo, Aizuwakamatsu, Matsushima, Sendai, Yamadera, Aomori, Hirosaki, Hakodate, Noboribetsu, Shiraoi, Lake Toya Sapporo Tokyo. Did you all enjoy !! The cold in Moscow and St. Petersburg is severe than Hirosaki, but Y've never seen so much snow! You love Japan and have a Shiba Inu named Kotaro. I am glad to hear that you did enjoy the local food culture of Aomori, so I guided you to Tsugaru Domain Neputa Village and Izakaya. You seemed to be impressed by the Tsugaru shamisen and Tsugaru folk songs. Maria likes sea urchins, she said that the very fresh raw sea urchins are very delicious. It's the best she has ever eaten!!  You and Maria love to drink local Aomori Sake, and Ochen Hukusna! (It's very delicious). Next time, I would like to guide you to the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival in Mid-April to May and the Nebuta Festival in the first week, August. Odate City, south of Hirosaki City, famous for Akita dog. I would like to express thanks for joining my tour and wish you and Maria good luck and health ! Ochen Shipasiba !

Best Tour Guide

I was very skeptical about getting a tour guide to drive me around but never would I have thought that my driver was so helpful and kind to give me some brochures regarding the sites I had initially requested to visit. We did end early but she brought me around Aomori for sunset view which I would have never thought of. We went to the coastal parts on our way back to Aomori city. She also brought me to the oldest golden leaves tree which was still in green, sadly, but I would definitely visit Aomori again to discover unknown spots that foreigners have not been to. I would strongly recommend hiring a tour guide to bring you around Aomori because self driving may omit some hidden spots. I did treat my driver to a meal as a thank you gift. I have to say, I did enjoy myself with a tour guide as I'm usually a solo traveller. I have many photos but due to file size restrictions, I'm only able to upload 1.
