Nanbu

Set along the Mabechi River in eastern Aomori Prefecture, Nanbu is a town whose character is shaped by the fertile river plains used for fruit growing. Apples are central to local agriculture, alongside cherries, grapes and Japanese pears, giving the area a strong seasonal rhythm from spring blossom to autumn harvest. Nanbu lies inland from the Pacific coast, in the former Nanbu domain area whose name remains closely associated with this corner of northern Tōhoku. Its rural setting provides a useful contrast to the larger nearby cities of Hachinohe and Aomori. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of eastern Aomori Prefecture.
