Insider tip — Anetogawa Onsen, the elder sister river spring, takes its evocative name from the folk legend of a river whose headwaters were named for an older sister who guided her younger siblings across the mountains. The Anetogawa flows through the reclaimed agricultural flatlands east of Tohoku-machi toward Lake Ogawara and the Pacific coast, crossing the broad plains where rice and garlic cultivation have shaped the Aomori agricultural identity since the Meiji reclamation era.
