#IndoorActivities #100 Ways to Travel The #AomoriNebuta Matsuri held in early August every year is one of the most famous festivals in Japan. People will carry huge and gorgeous lantern floats and parade through the streets and alleys of Aomori city. It is very interesting! But if you missed the Sandman Festival, you can still feel the excitement of the celebration at # Sandman House, as if you were participating in it in person! Wa Rasse, the House of the Sandman, is an indoor exhibition hall with a special appearance. It is like a red steel silk wrapped around it. It is both magical and magical. Walk inside and appreciate the style of the Sandman Festival. The exhibition hall displays various floats that have been paraded in the Nebuta Festival. It is shocking to see from a distance and up close. I didn’t expect that the floats are so huge, the workmanship is so fine, and they are even more shiny and cool after being lit up! The lifelike Sandman float, with its bells and big eyes, is depicted in different angles from all sides, and there is even a modern version of Wonder Woman stealing the lantern! It's quite similar to the Taiwanese gods who go out to build a royal boat float on their birthdays. When you walk into the Nebuta House, in addition to learning about the history and structure of the Nebuta Festival, you can also participate in experiences or watch performances, such as the Nebuta Forest Live Performance & Haneto Experience Show on weekends, the Nebuta Festival experience, sticker experience and Sandbuta Service Show on weekdays. It’s a great indoor activity. #Japan Northeast Free Travel #Northeastern Maple Viewing #Indoor Activities #Exhibition #Aomori Travel #Nebuta Festival #100 Ways to Travel

When you think of Tohoku in April, you might think that the snow has come to an end, it's still too early for cherry blossoms, and there aren't many tourist spots. However, Aomori in April is also full of charm, and I was able to enjoy it for two full days, so I'll introduce the first day today💁♀️ 15:00 Aomori Airport First, I arrived at Aomori Airport in the afternoon.

The portions were very large, and everything was fresh and delicious! 🍣 And yet, it was so cheap that it's unthinkable in Tokyo.

#Spring0yentrip When I arrived at Aomori Station, I first had scallops at the restaurant "Osanai" in front of the station, and I was impressed by how plump and sweet they were. It seemed to be a restaurant frequented by locals, and had a nice warm atmosphere. After that, I went to the Sannai-Maruyama ruins, where huge pillars and remains of houses from the Jomon period were spread out, and I felt close to the lives of people in the past. It was also impressive to board the Hakkoda Maru at Aomori Port and learn about the history of the Seikan Ferry. Inside, the atmosphere of the time remained, which was exciting. Then, at the Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse, I was overwhelmed to see the impressive Nebuta up close. Aomori was a city where you could enjoy food, history, and culture at your leisure.

Located at the northernmost tip of the Tohoku region, Aomori Prefecture is surrounded by the sea on three sides.

From the custom of releasing river lanterns on the Tanabata Festival to the custom of driving away the sleep demon, busy "workers" are always on the road of "motivating" themselves. In order not to affect the autumn harvest during the busy farming season, the "workers" in Aomori have made "motivating" themselves into an intangible cultural heritage. In early August every year, people make more than 20 large-scale sleep demon "jumping people" with bright colors and vivid scenes to outline the lanterns weighing 4 tons. The accompaniment and dynamic drum beats that resound through the sky lead people to sing and dance. In that strong summer night, people step on the drums and accompany the "jumping people" to cheer and jump all the way, ignite the summer night with enthusiasm, and let the sleepiness flow away quietly~ 🎭 "Fun" play experience ▫️F2 - At the end of the sleep demon channel, there is a large sleep demon face part. You can design your own sleep demon mask on the computer below. After the design is completed, it is projected onto the sleep demon mask through the computer. The experience is awesome! ▫️F1 - There are music for the Nebuta Festival and human dance performances every day in the stage area on the first floor. Adults can also choose to participate in instrumental performances and human dances~ (Performance time: 11:10, 13:10, 15:10, 20 minutes/show) ▫️F1 - In the corner of the exhibition hall on the first floor, there are touchable parts: face, hand, wave, flame. You can mobilize your senses and feel the texture of the Japanese paper used to make these large lanterns, and you can also smell the scent of batik up close 💡 "Sleeping Man" trivia ▫️The early sleeping man lanterns were made of cucumbers and eggplants! (Now bamboo and paper are used instead)▫️The "jumping" dance is actually imitating exorcism movements. The louder the bells ring, the more likely they are to scare off the sleep demon▫️The 20-ton lantern must be burned after the parade because the ancients believed that "the sleep demon will possess the lantern" 📌 Visiting Tips ▫️The Sleep Demon's House WA- RASSE - Aomori City Yasukata 1-chome 1-1 ▫️Business hours: 09:00-18:00 (May-August 09:00-19:00) ▫️Closed: 12/31, 01/01, 08/09, 08/10 ▫️Ticket price: 620 yen/adults, 460 yen/high school students, 260 yen/elementary and junior high school students

I stopped by here when I visited the Nebuta Festival. You can see a variety of Nebuta floats up close, including the impressive Nebuta that won the grand prize last year. There is an older man on staff who will take your photo so that it is not backlit, so be sure to ask for help when taking photos☺️

Due to its geographical location, the northern Tohoku region of Japan (Aomori Prefecture, Iwate Prefecture, Akita Prefecture) is covered with snow in winter, offering many unique winter travel experiences. However, the northern Tohoku region is also worth exploring in summer. For example, a summer folk experience tour! ⭕ Aomori Nebuta Festival Lantern Parade The Aomori Nebuta Festival is arguably the most popular festival event in the entire northern Tohoku region. Every year from August 2nd to August 7th, a grand parade of giant Nebuta lanterns inspired by Sengoku warlords, historical stories, and more is held. You can join the parade dressed in the 'Haneto' costume, dancing and jumping to the chants, and personally experience the grand and lively festival atmosphere. ⭕ Aomori Nebuta Festival Lantern Sea Parade & Fireworks Display On the night of August 7th, the winning lanterns are paraded on boats, accompanied by a grand fireworks display. The colorful lanterns and over 10,000 fireworks create a spectacular scene that is a must-experience in life! ⭕ Wa Rasse Nebuta House If you can't make it to the Nebuta Festival, Wa Rasse Nebuta House is a great place to learn about and experience the festival. Here, you can learn about the making of Nebuta lanterns, join the 'Haneto' experience, and purchase various Nebuta Festival merchandise. ⭕ Namahage Museum The Namahage culture is unique to the Oga Peninsula in Akita Prefecture. Every New Year's Eve (December 31st), Namahage demons come down from the mountains to visit residents' homes, inquiring about the past year's household affairs, crop yields, the health of the elderly, whether family members have worked hard, and whether children have studied diligently. The ultimate goal is to bless everyone with a smooth new year. At the Namahage Museum, you can watch Namahage performances and personally experience the unique charm of this culture. ⭕ Namahage Museum Next to the Namahage Museum is another building where you can learn in detail about the origins and development of this culture, view various Namahage masks, watch Namahage documentaries, and even put on a mask to become a 'Namahage' yourself. Of course, there are also many cute and unique souvenir items to take home. ⭕ Akita City Folk Performing Arts Heritage Center The Kanto Festival is one of the important summer festivals in Akita Prefecture and one of the three major festivals in the Tohoku region. Every year from August 3rd to 6th, skilled pole handlers parade with bamboo poles adorned with lanterns, using their hands, heads, shoulders, and waists to balance them. The largest poles are 12 meters long, weigh 50 kilograms, and have 46 lanterns hanging from them. At the Akita City Folk Performing Arts Heritage Center, you can not only learn about the festival but also try balancing the poles yourself, which is very interesting.
