With some free time, we headed out to Aomori City. Aomori City is the world’s snowiest city, but luckily, right now, the weather is perfect. We started the day off with a delicious bowl of ramen.

Here we are at a local Aomori City ramen spot where they serve ramen in the local tradition. Aomori City is known for miso butter ramen, so that’s what I got! Afterwards, it was time to explore the city.

There are more than a dozen temples throughout Aomori City. We went to some of them while walking around.

All that worship made us hungry again. Aomori is known for apples since they grow really well here. We went back to A-FACTORY to try all the apple things. We got apple pie, hot apple cider, apple ice cream, apple jam, and, of course, some Aomori apples!

Once we got all filled up, it was time to see the biggest Buddha in all of Japan. He stands tall at 68 ft 10 in!
