Shichinohe

Shichinohe lies along the Shichinohe River in eastern Aomori Prefecture, where an inland plain gradually leads toward the Hakkōda Mountains. The town is associated with the Nanbu clan, and the Shichinohe Castle site recalls the local branch of this powerful northern Japanese family. Its remaining earthworks evoke the form of a regional stronghold rather than the monumental stone castles of larger cities. Shichinohe-Towada Station on the Tōhoku Shinkansen connects the area with northern Honshū’s wider rail network. The surrounding countryside introduces an inland side of Aomori shaped by farming, marked seasons, and routes toward Lake Towada and the Hakkōda range.
