Ajiro Town in Aomori Prefecture is a charming coastal fishing village renowned for its fresh seafood, particularly salmon and squid. The annual salmon run in autumn is a major event. The town preserves traditional fishing culture, offering hands-on experiences. Nearby attractions include Mount Iwaki and the scenic Sea of Japan coastline.
Must-see spots: Ajiro Fishing Port for its lively morning market; Ajiro Onsen with ocean-view baths; and the ancient cedars at Ajiro Shrine. Don't miss traditional fishing experiences or the autumn Salmon Festival.
Try salt-grilled salmon, squid sashimi noodles, and uni donburi (sea urchin rice bowl). Street snacks include fried fish cakes (satsuma-age) and salmon roe pickles. Most restaurants only accept cash.
Take the JR Gonō Line from Aomori (1.5 hours). The town is walkable/bike-friendly. Taxis require advance HopeGoo. Winter driving demands snow tires.
Best in September-November for salmon season and autumn foliage. Summer offers cool foggy weather, while winter has stunning snowscapes but limited transport.
