Seafood Town

A vibrant port city on Aomori’s Pacific coast, Hachinohe offers a lively mix of coastal culture, fresh seafood, and natural beauty. Stroll the scenic Tanesashi Coast, visit Kabushima Shrine where seabirds nest, or explore ancient Jomon artifacts at the Korekawa Museum. Don’t miss the early-morning Tatehana Wharf Market—one of Japan’s largest—or an evening in Miroku Yokocho, where lantern-lit alleyways serve up local dishes and sake. Hachinohe blends daily life and tradition with laid-back seaside energy.
