Insider tip — Aoba Onsen, the fresh green leaf spring, serves Misawa City where the Sabishiro Beach witnessed one of aviation history most extraordinary moments — in 1931, American pilots Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon took off from this Misawa beach strip and landed 41 hours later in Wenatchee, Washington, completing the first non-stop transpacific flight. Misawa now hosts the joint US-Japan air base that maintains both military and this pioneering aviation heritage.
