Beech tree, which locals call the mother tree. A giant tree appears in front of you when you walk about 5 minutes on the maintained promenade, about 270 meters from the parking lot of the Tsugaru Pass. It is about 30m high and about 4.7m around the thorax height and is said to be 400 years old.

Road Station Tsugaru Shirakami

Roadside station located at the gateway of the World Natural Heritage "Shirakami Mountains". It is also the departure and arrival point for amphibious buses that tour the Tsugaru Dam dam lake "Tsugaru Shirakami Lake", and has a reputation as a spot for healing tourism fatigue. The specialty retail store offers a large selection of wild plants, mushrooms, apples, etc. that can be picked up every season. The local sake "Yamasuke" from the village of Nishimeya and the tofu made from the specialty soybeans have many fans. At the restaurant, you can taste "Shirakami Twari Soba", which uses a specialty of buckwheat flour, and "Tsugaru Dam Curry", which is an expression of Tsugaru Dam. In addition, honey is produced on the roof of the Amisa Kobo, a food processing center located in the facility, and you can eat it for free on handmade Italian gelato and vanilla soft ice cream made by the facility.

It was built in Bunsei 10 (1827) by Jisaburo Nomura, a Mōfune-kaiya in Noheji, and served as a landmark for the Kitamae ship entering at night in Minato, Noheji, which was busy as a window for the sea of Morioka Domain.

The last temple of Koyasan Kongobuji Temple. Although he has gained a strong religion as the Dainichi of the Oshi, the main god is not Dainichi Nyorai but Amida Nyorai (Teraden Dainichi Nyorai). It is a two-meter-high wooden Amitabha Nyorai-za statue (National Designated Important Cultural Property), said to be a work of the early Kamakura period, and is made of hiva wood and is made of a parochet [Yosegi-zukuri] with gold leaf.

The moon

A shop that carries materials for Aomori Tradition Kogin Sashi, with beautiful delicate geometric patterns. There are also original Kogin kits that can be easily challenged even by a Kogin stabbing beginner, so I would like to try it by all means. The yarn includes puppy, diamond yarn, and rich more. It also handles leather crafts. Facebook also has a lot of product photos, so let's check it out.
