Go BackHuman habitation in the Aomori area goes back to the prehistoric period. A number of Jomon sites have been discovered, including the Sannai-Maruyama Ruins, dated to between 5,500 to 4,000 BC. During the Heian period, the area was ruled by the Northern Fujiwara clan. It passed to the Nambu clan during the Kamakura period, and to the Tsugaru clan in the Sengoku period.
Originally called Uto, Aomori developed as a port during the Edo period. It was renamed Aomori in 1626, but the name only came into common use from 1783. It was only granted town status in 1889 and city status in 1898.
Festivals in Aomori
Aomori celebrates the Aomori Nebuta Festival, where giant floats are paraded through the streets. This takes place every year from 2-7 August.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
