Sannai-Maruyama Jomon Heritage and Aomori Art Exploration

An ambitious course that spans 5,500 years, combining a Jomon heritage journey with art experiences unique to Aomori in a single day. Start in the morning at Aomori Gyosen Center with the signature 'nokkegdon' rice bowl, then visit Utou Shrine, said to be the birthplace of Aomori City, and Showa Daibutsu at Seiryuji Temple with its 21.35m bronze seated statue. In the afternoon, explore the world heritage site of Sannai-Maruyama with its large timber-frame buildings, and meet Yoshitomo Nara's 'Aomori Dog' at the adjacent Aomori Museum of Art. A perfect Aomori walk that satisfies intellectual curiosity for couples and partners who love history and art.
