Goshogawara: http://www.thr.mlit.go.jp/aomori/river/camera/camera/camera_0016.html
Built around the Iwaki River estuary, Goshogawara’s Jūsan district grew into a small coastal settlement beside Lake Jūsan, a brackish lagoon linked to the Sea of Japan. The lake and its sandbar shoreline give this northwestern corner of Aomori Prefecture a broad, low-lying character, while the river drains the Tsugaru Plain to the south. Lake Jūsan is closely associated with Yamato-shijimi clams, an important local food product. Inland, Goshogawara is known for the Tachineputa Festival and its towering festival floats, celebrated at the Tachineputa Museum. The estuary stands on the edge of the Tsugaru region, where river, lagoon and open coast meet.

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.
