A leisurely Tsugaru-paced local ride through Goshogawara

Visit places you would normally pass by, and discover the local culture and way of life.

Take a short break in the Hinaya tearoom inside Kadarube, a traditional Japanese house full of history. Perk up with some traditional Japanese sweets.

With Shirakami Sanchi as its source, the beautiful Iwaki River flows gracefully accross the Tsugaru region. 

Ashino Park is famous for its cherry blossoms. The park is filled with tranquil scenery, and the Tsugaru Railway passes through the park grounds.

The Tsugaru Railway, popular among international and domestic visitors alike, allows you to board their trains with your bicycle without disassembly.

Looking out from the traincar windows, you can get great views of the rural and small-town landscapes of the Tsugaru Plains with Mt. Iwaki in the background.

The Ekisha Cafe is just next to Ashinokoen Station. Inside, you can indulge in specialty horse meat cuisine within the nostalgic atmosphere.

Tachineputa, the towering festival floats considered the symbol of Goshogawara, are housed in this 7-story building made specially to fit them. You can come see these summer festival icons all year round.
