In this video, I share my experience on a full-day Aomori shore excursion in Northern Japan, including what went wrong when a scheduled stop was unexpectedly closed, how I handled it in the moment, and what happened when I spoke with guest services afterward.
You’ll also see what Aomori is like as a cruise port, including cherry blossoms, local sights, and whether this is a destination you can explore on your own or with a tour.
=======================================
Helpful Travel Resources: ( I use these, as well!):
Some private day tours in Aomori/ HIrosaki Castle are priced for a group, which means if several cruise passengers share the vehicle the cost per person can be much lower. Check out Viator:
