Flow of the course

About this spot

Located near Aomori Station at the base of the Bay Bridge, this marché with an attached cider workshop is marked by a distinctive white triangular roof. Inside, you can view the fermentation tanks of ciders made from Aomori Prefecture apples through glass, and the tasting corner offers comparisons from dry to sweet varieties (non-alcoholic apple soda is also available). The first-floor marché gathers apple confections, juices, and food shops featuring local ingredients, perfect for taking a break with apple pie or gelato in hand. The stacked apple crate displays and the Bay Bridge visible through windows create photogenic scenery throughout. With a definitive collection of Aomori souvenirs, concluding your shopping here is the smart way to wrap up your trip.

Tips

About a 1-minute walk from the East Exit of Aomori Station, directly across from Wa Rasse. If doing cider tastings, consider designating non-drinkers. Buying souvenirs here in bulk minimizes carrying. If using the shinkansen to Shin-Aomori Station, calculate travel time in reverse to plan your departure.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour required. Late afternoon around 4 p.m., before the store gets crowded, allows easier movement and smooth connections to your return trip.
