Tohoku still hiding from us under a white veil
While we were there we saw a big snow flurry blanket the city. I guess that’s why some trains weren’t running! Also Watched chunks of snow/ice tumble down the side of the building.
Both places will have to get a return visit on another trip – hirosaki might be a while coz the castle renovation sounds pretty extensive. Seems there’s a lot more to see in Aomori when the snow isn’t keeping us away from tourist spots 😛 Plus the Nebuta festival of course.
Went to the Aomori Prefectural Museum. Usual A4 handout with a few paragraphs of English. The item cards were titled in English then half way thru they started having big sections described in English.
4:30 when we finished there so everything else would be closing – back to our room for a couple drinks and a shower then out for Yoshinoya gyuudon.
