It is the 2019 Aomori Nebuta Festival. This is Asako Kitamura's Jinmu Tosen. Last year and this year, it was canceled due to Corona and I couldn't go to see it. Next year. #夏

"Green Flash" Traveling on the Japan ocean side, you'll have the chance to see the moment the sunset falls on the horizon on a sunny day. It is a moment when you are about to make a "juh!" sound, but you can see another rare phenomenon just before sunset. This Green Flash is a sight that I have tried many times over the years in Fukaura Town in Aomori Prefecture, but I am sure that it can be seen along the coast all over the country. Even if you live in an area far from the sea, this is a scenery that you should definitely see when this corona turmoil calms down.

It's interesting how Japan has so many blue lakes. It's such a strange phenomenon. I'm not sure if the color in all of them is due to the same phenomenon, but the one in Biei is supposedly colored blue because of aluminum and other minerals that scatter sunlight in just the right way. I have a feeling this one isn't the same because the one in Biei was formed only after a dam was made, but I'm interested to learn what exactly causes it here. I actually hadn't heard of this blue lake before but Aomori has some really nice scenery so it's not too surprising. Also Shirakami-Sanchi is a UNESCO heritage site for a reason I suppose lol. I'd like to go see this and the Nebuta Festival in Aomori as that's supposed to be really awesome as well. Maybe it's possible to see them during the same visit?

In Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, this is a Yabusame tournament held only by female jockeys around the time the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Female jockeys dressed in glossy kimono carry bows, ride on horses of Japan traditional lineage, and fly quickly through three targets while frying dust. Originally, Yabusame is an event held only by men as a Shinto ritual, but befitting the modern era of the 21st century, the gender difference between men and women has been abolished, and the ancient traditions of martial arts and equestrian arts that have been handed down from ancient Japan times have been adopted and passed on to future generations, and the world of glossy kimono fushiko is worth visiting and seeing. At the 4th "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS" Photo Contest - Spring of Japan, we were selected as one of the six winners out of 1,000 entries and received an honorable mention. 【Spring Shooting】

Aomori, Akita Lake Towada and the Hakkoda mountain range From the Hagitoge Observatory on the Akita Prefecture side, this is a view of Lake Towada and the Hakkoda mountain range in Aomori Prefecture. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom here and there, or petals are scattered, but the area around Lake Towada is still early spring. The snow on the shoulder of the road is drifting cold air. On a sunny day, the blue sky and the blue surface of the lake made the whiteness of the remaining snow of the peaks of Mt. Hakkoda vivid.

Tsuruta Town, Aomori Prefecture, Tsuru no Mai Bridge Lake Tsugaru Fujimi, where the Tsuru no Mai Bridge is located, has a tragic love story from 600 years ago. At that time, the lord of Kiyomizu Castle Mayamanomori falls in love with Princess Hakusan, whom he met at a house he stopped at while hunting. It is said that the princess, with her long black hair and fair skin, looked like a white lily. However, the owner of the castle changes his mind and marries Kotohime, who was introduced to him by a wealthy farmer. Upon learning of this, Princess Hakusan throws herself into the Great Reservoir, and her remorse turns into a white dragon and curses the castle owner. And the castle owner also threw himself into this reservoir. Thanks to the memorial services of the villagers, this pond has now become a source of water for Tsugaru Shinden and has been blessed with abundant blessings.
