Hiranai

Built around fishing settlements on the southern shore of Mutsu Bay, Hiranai has grown into a coastal town where aquaculture remains central to daily life. The town occupies the base of the Natsudomari Peninsula, a low, wooded finger of land reaching into the bay, while the wider shoreline looks across the water toward the Tsugaru Peninsula. Hiranai is closely associated with farmed scallops, a staple of Aomori Prefecture’s seafood culture and an important part of the local economy. Its position between the sea and rural northern Honshu gives the town a distinctly regional character. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Mutsu Bay and Aomori Prefecture.
