"The city is beautiful and people are all extremly nice and helpful even through they don't speak English well. I loved it there, it felt like home. I wish I could have stayed longer. I really liked all the parks and temples and observatory view was amazing. We came during Tanabata festival so city centre was decorated and had live performers on the street. Yamadera temple is really good option for a one day trip near Sendai."

"If you staying in the city and planning to visit nearby hirosaki city you probably need no more than four days to do everything first few important things to say public transportation it's very different from Tokyo trains are not rapidly moving from one city to another in transport in the city it's not very common it's bases but walking will be the better choice anyway because it's a small city I will highly recommend the number one restaurant in aomori that have the nebuta show name : Takakyu Nebutanokuni - literally people coming from all over Japan the staff will try their best to communicate with foreigners but remember at least the minimum required Japanese will help you there (in general outside Tokyo and Kyoto English is not common at all) important to say that aomori like sappro have the freshest seafood in all around JAPAN and few of the main attractions in the city Aomori ( the famous build your own bowl market - A factory - nebuta museum and the Main St ) - two days hirasaki main attractions - two days ( just google tripvisor hirosako XD) visiting around winter ? I highly recommend renting a car and driving to the nearby ski resorts not only you'll be welcome bye unforgettable views of snow in the horizon but an amazing ski resorts that I will highly recommend BTW I visited around mid Mars and skiing is still available around those times of year ! I took effort in writing this down and I wish I could get I review like that when i was planning to visit hope it will help you ! (I couldn't provide photos but I wish I could do beautiful city with beautiful scenes and things to do )"

"Morioka has some really charming sights and locations. Make time for the History Museum, the 2nd floor is 300 Yen entry fee but well worth the price. The walk through the gardens around the castle museums is also lovely. There are some good shops in the Fezan mall that is in the station building."

One of 560 reviews:
"The Yamagata Ski area (Zao Onsen) is fantastic. It wasnt crowded, lessons for kids and adults were AUD$55 for 4 hours, lifts were @4$ per lift. Gear hire was AUD$65 for 2 days PP. In Australia lift passes are $250 per day alone. The hotel Sailor Hutte was literally at the base of the ski lifts. Food was cheap ($10-14 per meal) booze was cheap ($3.50 for a beer). The guys at the Hotel Sailor Hutte were great, make an effort to chat with them via your translator app. Its worth it. One more thing, I would recommend buying Shinkansen tickets directly from JR East rail online. Heaps cheaper than buying a seven day pass unless you are planning to spend 7 days on the train. FYI there are 3 Shinkansen companies East, Central and West. They have there own websites a bit clunky in English but it works. Good luck."

"Very nice coastal city with interesting fish markets (where you can make your own seafood rice bowl with fresh local catch or rent a dove to grill shell fish, and buy local goods) and beautiful coastal trail. And there is a direct bus to the Lake Towada and Oriase Trail though it's difficult to book the bus tickets on line unless you know how to type your name in Japanese. Staff of the tourists information center at the station are very very nice and helpful. One gentleman speaks unusual good English."

The location was absolutely breathtaking, we visited in autumn but I'm already planning my next visit for winter! The staff were so lovely and accommodating, not everyone spoke perfect english but they make a genuine effort to make us feel welcome none the less. I loved the onsen, we used the private and public facilities and found them so relaxing. We ate in the restaurant every morning and once for dinner, the food was so well done and we loved getting a taste of the local cuisine. Seriously 10/10 its not the cheapest stay but it is worth the price.

Morioka is a very charming city—peaceful and not crowded, while still offering a truly local Japanese atmosphere. The food is delicious, especially the seafood, which is high quality and reasonably priced. There aren’t too many tourists, making it a great place to relax. It’s also an excellent starting point for traveling خارج the city or going on a road trip, as the surrounding areas are filled with beautiful natural attractions. It’s especially suitable for people who enjoy skiing. I visited in early March, and there was still quite a lot of snow. I’d love to go back again when there’s even more snow.

Hon-Hachinohe has far more to offer than we could fit into our three-day visit—we truly wished we had stayed longer. The Korekawa Jomon Archaeological Museum was exceptional, offering a fascinating look at the area's ancient past. The Tanesashi Coast was another highlight, with its beautiful and easy-to-navigate hiking trails. In the center of town, we explored the Hachinohe Portal Museum, known as ‘Hacchi’—a six-floor space that blends cultural center, artist studios, and local exhibits. The staff there were especially welcoming and helpful. We didn’t have time to visit the Art Museum or the History Museum, Maybe next time

I like the relaxed pace of Akita.

I like the relaxed pace of Akita. Learn about local history at the Akita City Folk Arts Center and Senshu Park; visit the art museums and explore Akita Arts Theatre Mille Has. I think it's also a great place to rent a car and drive out to the Oga Peninsula, or to one of the many onsen ryokan, or to Lake Tazawa. The scenery is beautiful, people are friendly and the food is hearty and comforting. Take the Shinkansen to Kakunodate and see the restored samurai residences in the cherry blossoms or the fall colors, and you can even try wearing kimono or take a rickshaw ride with a local guide. Don't forget to stop for Michinoku Pudding before getting back on the Shinkansen.

A very quiet town, some attractions to see, and there are also shops that can do shopping. There are not many tourists staying in this city at the time we visited in first week of March, maybe peak season is a different view. We liked this town with it's traditional building from the old times, not a city view like Sendai, we have dinner at a local tonkatsu (Japanese cutlet made from pork), we were served at the 2nd floor, that I really feel like I'm eating in the comic book scene. though sitting on the floor is not easy for me and my husband, we have to extend the legs sometimes. It's recommended to have a slow walk around the city, try the local cuisines, the dishes change as per seasons, we tried quite a few different fermented fishes that we don't know, but they are all good with sweet flavour, not on the salty side. Mostly importantly is the Japanese sweets, mochi and cakes are all delicious.

When going to the province of Fukushima, Fukushima-city is a good central place to stay at. Where not seen as a very touristic area, it does offer a less (foreign focused) touristic experience. Being able to speak basic Japanese will help you a lot to get by and get the most out of your time here going to lots of interesting sights, cafes, restaurants, etc.
