summary

Aomori Nebuta Festival is one of Tohoku's most representative summer festivals. Of course, the main festival is wonderful, but there are also events at the beginning and end that can only be experienced at that time...it's a festival that you can't let your guard down.

Since it is held for about a week, it will be difficult to experience all of it, but if you are able to experience just one of the first half or the second half, you will discover a new charm of Nebuta. Maybe!

Nebuta House Warasse

There is also a facility in front of Aomori Station called ``Nebuta no Ie Warasse'' where you can experience Nebuta culture throughout the year. Every year, the award-winning Nebuta from the previous year are displayed here, so even those who don't have plans to coincide with Nebuta can still enjoy the excitement of Nebuta!
