Aomori Nebuta Festival: One of the three major festivals of the Tohoku region, it is designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. It is a magnificent and splendid festival held on a midsummer night, in which giant lanterns (Nebuta) illuminated with lights are carried on floats and paraded through the streets. Its origins are said to date back to the Tanabata Festival of the Nara period, and it is considered the most important event of the year for many locals.

Akita Kanto Festival: The Akita Kanto Festival fills the venue with the lights of approximately 280 Kanto lanterns. The Akita Kanto Festival has a long history as an event to pray for protection from evil and a bountiful harvest. It is a traditional festival in which strong men called "sashite" powerfully lift and parade "Kanto," which are long bamboo poles from which many lanterns are suspended. The entire Kanto is likened to an ear of rice, and the hanging lanterns to bales of rice, and prayers are offered for a bountiful harvest.

We will guide you to the famous sights of Michinoku.
Hachimantai Summit: Enjoy the panoramic view of the magnificent nature unfolding below from the summit of Hachimantai, where a cool breeze gently blows.
Hiraizumi/Chuson-ji Temple: Visit this World Heritage temple built by the Oshu Fujiwara clan. *The Golden Hall requires an additional fee of 1,000 yen.
