Goshogawara

Built around farming settlements on the Tsugaru Plain, Goshogawara developed into a regional centre in western Aomori Prefecture. The city lies near the Iwaki River, while its municipal area extends north toward Lake Jūsan and the Sea of Japan coast. It is best known for the Goshogawara Tachineputa Festival, held each August, when towering paper-and-wire floats are drawn through the streets. The Tachineputa Museum presents this distinctive local float-making tradition throughout the year. Rice cultivation remains central to the plain, and the wider Tsugaru region is closely associated with apple growing.
