191030-Aomori Town

Aomori JR Train and Bus Station. Annex is a shopping mall. There is a Japanese restaurant located at the ground level of Aomori JR Train station.

Aomori Nokkedon
Like all tourist, we need to pay a visit to the famous Aomori Nokkedon. You get coupon like ¥1500 and you go around look for the ingredients you like. It's a no no place for me to eat here as I cannot stand the fishy smell the minute I step in and I don't find it cheap. Also, it's a wet market area, so some floor are wet where the tables are.

The place is full of tourist. I walk one round and get out of this place.

In search of another sushi place for lunch, we pass by this place.
 新鲜市场 

At 新鲜市场 a huge indoor dried seafood retail place in one part of the building. The other part is a sushi place. Also for tourist and very expensive. From ¥2000 or more onwards. No no for us.

Our search continue and spotted another restaurant selling sushi and this time, the price is reasonable. Sushi Bar Asuka. Located at Alaska Hotel.

Weather at Aomori is very windy due to its location, just next to the sea. Imagine the gingko tree lined next to the sea has already turn to autumn yellow, while those lined towards the inner lane is still green.

The Aomori Tourist Information Centre. There is a lounge for tourist to rest here. We can view the seaside from here.

 

The building house mostly tourist related departments. There is a viewing gallery at 13 level. 

The view from the tourist lounge.

The tourist lounge. 

We can purchase coffee from the vending machine and have a rest here.

It is nice to take a stroll next the the seaside towards A Factory.

So much was mentioned about A factory in all the tourist forum. It is actually a retail outlet selling all apple products from Aomori. Nothing more than that.

Nebuta museum showing floats from their festival. We did not enter the museum as we think the entrance fee is too high and we have no interest in it. Like more than ¥600... ?
