The food here is fresh, delicious, and the portions are generous. This may be the reason there is always a wait! Make reservations in advance. There’s ample seating for big or small groups. The staff is helpful and quick!
Karinba
Yakiniku has something for everyone. This chain in Misawa is easily one of favorites since it has ample seating, a wide selection of meats and sides, and a very fun and inviting vibe. They conveniently take yen or card and have English speaking staff...
Yakiniku Restaurant Isshintei Oirase Midorigaoka Branch
If you have a sweet tooth, this patisserie is right up your alley. Their baked goods are fresh, fragrant and so delicious. The star of the show - at least for us - are the cream puffs. The outer pastry has the right amount of crunch while the inside ...

When in Japan, you’re not really looking for burgers. But if you ever need a break from the delicious ramen, sushi go rounds, or yakitori - this burger spot is a good choice. Their buns are freshly made, they have unique burgers and their fries are ...
BronzeGrill
Most of Japan has its fair share of sushi go-rounds, this one isn’t the fanciest and doesn’t have a lot of options but it is very fresh, well priced and doesn’t get as busy as HAMA-SUSHI or Sushiro. When you come to Northern Japan, you’re craving sus...

A great coffee spot with unique latte options and their own roasted coffee beans. You choose what bean to use in your latte, the size and flavor and then any added items like a different milk or an extra shot of espresso. They have a few small food i...
LIFE Coffee Roaster
If you’re looking for an authentic local experience, Yumeya is a great start. The menu is big, but the quality is on point. The flavors have just the right umami and the portions feel light enough to fill you up without without making you feel full. ...
Yumeya Ramen

A beautiful stretch of river surrounded by walls of greenery and canyons that connect Lake Towada to massive waterfalls. It’s a gorgeous view any time of the year, but even more impressive during the winter.
Oirase keiryū Gorge
An Onsen Hotel right in Misawa, and feels like a place all on its own. The amenities are luxurious and the onsen access is plentiful and relaxing.
Hoshino Resort Aomoriya Motoyu
About 90 minutes from Aomori is Hachinohe. Japan has so many parks and playgrounds, their outdoor spaces are so well maintained and plentiful. This one in particular also has a mini children’s theme park. There are several carnival rides for all ages...
Hachinohe Park Children's World
A beautiful park, with a beautiful castle, with a beautiful backdrop. There’s always some kind of flower festival, chrysanthemums, cherry blossoms, hydrangeas - it’s breathtaking. A must see in this area!
