    Sweet
    At first I was asking myself if it would be a waste of time. But no! It is a "self tour". Even though there are no information leaflets in English, you can understand just by looking at pictures and videos. It can entertain you for about 1h30 or even more. As it is 3 minutes walking from Aomori Station, it is easy to find it.

    A piece of history
    Historical piece of structure located right beside the A-factory souvenir store. This port was heavily used before Shinkansen between Honshu and Hokkaido was built. From 1908 to 1988, Hakkoda Maru, which carried many passengers and cargo as a ferry connecting Aomori and Hakodate, was moored and preserved as a monument to Aomori, the "sea city" after the abolition of the Seikan connecting ship, was moored and preserved as a monument at the time of service. Real Ship Hakkoda Maru." Now it has become a valuable spot to make you feel the history, and its bright yellow hull is familiar to many citizens.
