191102-Hamada Shopping District, shopping in Aomori

I do not see any recommendation on shopping when I search the internet about Aomori. I found Hamada Shopping District while looking for GU. This is good news for shopping crazy people like us. I manage to get the bus information and time table to get to this place from

Hamada Shopping District
A place where you can shop in Aomori

We trace this place down specifically for GU store.
GU is a sister company with Uniqlo, but the cheaper range.
You cannot find GU in Singapore, which is why I will make sure I shop at GU while in Japan

Ito-Yokado, house a big departmental store and a 7 Eleven supermarket 

There is also a food court inside Ito -Yokado

Affordable food found in the food court. We chose to have these as we were not too hungry that day.

You can shop at Don Quijote here. We got some discounted items which were really worth buying.

ABC Mart which sells all the sports shoes

We have a short coffee break here. Pastry were hard and not fantastic. We were also disappointed that the coffee place is not smoke free. So you find the coffee place rather smoky. Paid 1133yen for the above. No cheap too.

How to get there
Please check with tourist information counter on the bus timetable from JR Aomori Bus terminal.
We got the time table from the Hotel staff and thus this time table operates from Hotel Select Inn Aomori.

We need to look for bus with this signage and wait for the bus using the above time table at bus stop number 3. 

Bus will stop in front of Ito-Yokado and we can come back to this bus stop to take a bus back to our hotel.

This is the time table from Shopping District back to Aomori Station.
I have now make it a habit to find out the bus time table for return trip once I reach my destination. With this time table, we can plan ahead which bus we want to ride back thus, allowing us how much time to shop.

GU, Don Quijote and ABC mart are tenants of Dream Town Ali Aomori.

According to Google map, its address is at 3 Chome-1-1 Hamada, Aomori, 030-0843, Japan

Anyway, I checked with Hotel Staff on how to get to GU Aomori and she got the answer for me.
