Insider tip — Onsen Michinoku, the ancient Tohoku spring, serves Hachinohe City on the Pacific coast of Aomori Prefecture — Japan northern frontier gateway where the Michinoku (the deep interior road) of ancient Japanese geography began beyond the Shirakawa barrier. Hachinohe is Japan largest squid fishing port and preserves the Kabushima Shrine surrounded by the largest urban nesting colony of black-tailed gulls in Japan — tens of thousands of birds that have made this small cape a designated natural monument visible from the spring district.
