Aomori

Aomori grew as a port town serving the northernmost island of Hokkaido before the Seikan undersea tunnel opened in 1988. For the visitor, it makes a great base to start a trip southwards through the main island of Honshu.

There are two great day trips to make from here - the 'haunted' mountain of Hakkoda is rich with history and powerful landscape vistas, while Hirosaki castle is one of Japan's top cherry blossom viewing spots with 2,500 trees blooming in late April - early May.

Aomori is also home to the Nebuta Matsuri, one of Japan's most striking and atmospheric festival with lantern floats, taiko drums, musicians and dancers all providing a feast for the senses.

Client Testimonials

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.

We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
