The next stop on our Japan Cruise was Aomori, Japan, known for the Nabuta Festival and it's intricate floats, and apples. We started our day with a walk around Aoumi Park and its seal statues, then visited the Nabuta Museum Warasse with several floats from the Nabuta Festival. With a skeleton of metal, these floats are made of a strong paper-like substance and lit from within. They are incredibly creative and 3D with parts of the floats sticking out. They are intricate and so well thought-out and were absolutely incredible to see. We then visited the A Factory, home of all things apple. It has a huge shop and several restaurants. We tried our first Wagyu in a hamburger. Delicious! Then we walked around town and toured the Utou Shrine or Utou-jinga Shrine where you feed the enormous and staring fish! There are four temples in row on the main street, but we only had time to visit two, the Jokoji Temple and the Shogaku-Ji Temple. After walking back to the ship, we filmed as we left Aomori on a beautiful day. It's such a pretty city. We enjoyed our day and would like to back to do some things outside the city like the Showa Buddha and the archeological sites. Next time! #japan #japantravel #aomori #aomoriprefecture #nabutawarasse #festivalmasks #afactory #japancruise #temples #shrine
