If you are planning to visit Aomori Prefecture, why not take a ride on the Resort Shirakami Train？ One of the most ridden and beloved Joyful Trains, it runs along the scenic Gono Line between Akita Prefecture and Aomori Prefecture, offering spectacular views of Aomori's famed apple orchards, and the Sea of Japan.
Late summer is an idyllic time to visit. While still seing the vibrant coulours of the warm ocean, one can also enjoy the views of the apples at their peak season, detecting the first subtle signs of autumn. Earlier in August, Aomori is home to several of Japan's most famous festivals - whether Aomori Nebuta, Hirosaki Neputa, or Goshogawara Tachineputa, each of these are renowned for their elaborate paper floats, which colourfully depict epic scenes.
More information on the Resort Shirakami, including timetables, can be found on JR's official webpage.
