What To Expect
Sannai-Maruyama Site
The Sannai-Maruyama ruins were found in a large-scale settlement in the Jomon period more than 5,000 years ago, found in an excavation survey in 1992, and many residences, tombs, earthenware, stoneware, and ornaments were excavated. The grounds are covered in nature, and you can enter a pit-type dwelling or visit various exhibits within the exhibition space. Experience the lives of those people who lived together with nature.

5.00I LIKE AOMORI VERY MUCH, AS IT IS THE PLACE WHERE MY DADDY IS BORN. WE WERE AT THE ART HOTEL, WHICH WAS FINE. NEXT DOOR THERE IS A BAR, ANI SAN, WHO IS A KINGPIN, WE HAD A GREAT TIME, WITH VERY FUN LOCALS. YOU HAVE A COASTAL AREA WHERE YOU CAN TAKE YOUR MATE AND SPEND SOME TIME LOOKING AT THE SEA.

5.00Our experience with Omakase Tours was top-notch. They were professional, efficient and friendly while we arranged the tour. Our guide, Mizuho, was incredibly enthusiastic and amiable. While it poured rain all day, Mizuho took us to various indoor activities, including a wonderful art gallery and the Nebuta Museum. This, combined with the archeological site, gave us a much deeper understanding and appreciation of the local culture. Mizu also accommodated our request for local ramen, which proved absolutely delightful. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to better appreciate Aomori's culture.
Amazing day in Aomori!

5.00What a fantastic tour! Shiho is an excellent guide and is fluent in English. She went out of her way to make sure that we got to see the cherry blossoms (we were to late in the season at our other ports), without missing out on any other parts of the tour. We truly enjoyed spending a memorable day with her.
