A unique city in Aomori prefecture, Hirosaki is known for its apples and western architecture.

A winter escape in Aomori at the Hoshino Resorts KAI Tsugaru, an amazing boutique ryokan full of local culture.

Stopping at Honshu Island’s northern-most capital.

Surrounded by Aomori’s nature, this beautiful and relaxing retreat has an amazing buffet and is one of my favorite resorts.
