Aomori's Nature Parks

Tsugaru Quasi-National Park

The Tsugaru Quasi-National Park consists of the coastal area stretching from the northern Tsugaru Peninsula to the Akita Prefecture border as well as Mt. Iwaki and various lakes. Mt. Shirakami, part of the world heritage Shirakami Sanchi mountain range, the Lake Juniko area that includes Aoike Pond, and the coastal terrace topography of Cape Takanosaki and Cape Odose showcase the changing face of nature. Mt. Iwaki, the tallest mountain in Aomori with a height of 1,625 m, is a place of mountain worship that attracts countless visitors.
