The Tsugaru shamisen is said to have originated in the Kanagi area. It was a powerful and excellent live performance. Afterward, I went to “Shayokan,” a 3-minute walk away. As mentioned earlier, “Shayokan” is known as the birthplace of Osamu Dazai (real name: Shuji Tsushima) and is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. It is also known as a luxurious residence; it was built in 1907 by Dazai’s father, Genemon Tsushima (who then served as a member of the House of Representatives and the House of Peers). The name “Shayoukan” is derived from Osamu Dazai’s best-selling novel “Shayou.   5: Popular Chinese restaurant “Houtenyu” After returning from Kanagi Station to Goshogawara Station, we decided to have lunch at Machinuka “Houtenyu,” as promisedread moreTravel to Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture (2)

I also went sightseeing in Goshogawara City on that occasion, so I am posting a mini-trip. The itinerary to Goshogawara City is very far. I departed from Tokyo Station on the Hayabusa No. 1 at 6:32 a.m., arrived at Shin-Aomori Station at 9:49 a.m., transferred to the Ou Line, arrived at Kawabe Station at 10:29 a.m., moved to the Gono-Line, and arrived at Goshogawara Station at 11:05 a.m. The total trip took more than 4.5 hours. Also, even if you fly, if you take JAL Flight 141, leaving Tokyo Station at 6:15 a.m. and departing from Haneda Airport at 7:30 a.m., you will arrive at Goshogawara Station at 11:05 a.m. This journey takes more than 4.5 hours either by Shinkansen or airplane. Goshogawara is far away, so it mayread moreTravel to Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture (1)
