April Events!!! - updated on April 5th, 3:30p.m.
It seems that spring is scheduled to arrive this month, because there are tons of cherry blossom festivals begining at the end of April. Although it's difficult to imagine that everything will be blooming in just a few weeks, everyone assures me that it will happen. So say your goodbyes to giant piles of snow and let's all collectively will some warmer weather to arrive. This month there are several 'only once a year' opportunities, so don't forget to take advantage of the cool stuff happening in and around Aomori!
First Weekend
Yunoshima Dogtooth Violet 'Festival' (湯の島カタクリ祭り)
What: It's not really a festival, but it IS the one time a year when you can ride a boat to Yunoshima, that beautiful island just off the coast of Asamushi, and explore.
Why: Ride a boat, hike a tiny mountain in the sea, and take some pictures of dogtooth violets and other flowers. There are also several nice onsens in Asamushi including a free public footbath and free egg-cooking bath (they are different baths).
When: April 7th thru April 22nd from 9:00am to 3:00pm
Where: The docks in Asamushi Onsen
Cost: 1,000 yen for a round trip boat ride
Websites:Official(Japanese): http://www.asamushi.com/modules/event/index.php?content_id=23

Second Weekend
Kabushima Festival in Hachinohe (蕪嶋まつり)
What: Traditional Shinto Shrine Festival, I'm not sure what is being celebrated. Spring I guess.
Why: This shrine is also a home and breeding ground to some 40,000 black tailed gulls.
When: April 15th from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.
Where: Kabushima Shrine in Hachinohe (〒031-0841 青森県八戸市大字鮫町字鮫)
