Exploring a Historic Wooden Arcade Town from the Edo Period
About this spot
Komise is a historic wooden arcade built to allow passage through snow and rain in snowy Tsugaru. Designated as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings, it is lined with established sake breweries and shops. In summer, the covered walkway offers pleasant shade and cool relief—a place to experience Tsugaru's traditional wisdom of living.
Season & hours
Name: 黒石ねぷたまつり
Date & time: 7/30 (Thu)–8/5 (Wed) Time TBA
Venue: 黒石市内(御幸公園を出発点に市街地を運行)
2026年は7月30日から8月5日まで開催される、黒石市の夏を彩るねぷたまつりです。御幸公園を出発点に、扇形の灯籠を掲げたねぷたが笛・太鼓のお囃子とともに市街地をゆっくりと練り歩きます。弘前や五所川原の勇壮な大型ねぷたとは違い、地元の町内会や子どもたちが担ぐ手作り感のある山車が多く、こみせ通りの落ち着いた町並みとねぷたの灯りが調和する、津軽の小さな城下町らしい温かな夏祭りです。
Tips
御幸公園周辺は開始前から見物客で賑わいます。良い場所で見たい場合は16時台から公園周辺で待つと安心です。祭り期間中は周辺道路が一部通行止めになることがあります。
