summary

In Aomori Prefecture, you can stay overnight at the four roadside stations introduced in this article, but there are still very few roadside stations where you can stay overnight considering the number of tourist spots.

In the snowy Tsugaru area, auto campgrounds are closed during the winter, making it difficult to sleep in your car, so we are looking forward to the arrival of a roadside station with comfortable hotel-like accommodations.
