Yomogita

Yomogita (蓬田) is a village in Tsugaru Peninsula, Aomori.

Understand
A fishing and farming village on the Mutsu Bay outside Aomori City, Yomogita is no tourist destination. But if you're passing through on a drive, a bike tour, or a Seishun-18 ticket, there are a few nice stops.

Get in
From Aomori: local trains on the JR East Tsugaru Line stop at Nakazawa, Yomogita, Gosawa, and Seheji stations before continuing north to Sotoghama Town. There are 8 or 9 trains a day. By car, Yomogita is about half an hour from central Aomori City.

From Hakodate, Hokkaido: Hakucho and Super Hakucho stop at Kanita Station. You can transfer to the local Tsugaru Line there, or take a taxi.

Get around
Walk, drive, or use a taxi.

Eat
Yomogita's specialties are scallops and tomatoes, especially the Momotaro and Baby Baby varieties.



Sleep
No lodging here - plan to stay in Aomori City or at a campground further up the peninsula.
