About this excursion

Begin your private shore excursion with pickup directly from Aomori Port. Travel comfortably in your own private vehicle. Unlike a large group tour, there is no need to keep pace with other travelers, allowing you to enjoy each destination at your own pace.

Travel to Hirosaki and explore Hirosaki Park, home to historic Hirosaki Castle. Continue to Fujita Memorial Garden, a beautiful Japanese garden, then discover Hirosaki’s distinctive Western-style architecture. Visit Saisho-in Temple to admire its historic five-story pagoda.

On the return journey, stop at Roadside Station Namioka Apple Hill, where you can browse local products, Aomori apples, sweets, and souvenirs.

The driver speaks Japanese, with communication assisted by a translation app. Before your tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook about the itinerary and sightseeing locations. Pre-tour customer support is available in English.

Return to Aomori Port in time for your ship’s departure.
