Overlooked by the striking wedge of the ASPAM building and the graceful span of the harbor bridge, the waterfront in Aomori City makes for a very pleasant place to hang out on a warm day. There's a broad promenade from which you can watch ferries gliding in and out, a shady lawn, a cascade with fun little seal statues, and tables and chairs everywhere to sit at with a drink, snack or picnic lunch.

The harbor bridge
Sit with a drink or snack and a view of the graceful harbor bridge
All along the waterfront there are places to sit, eat and drink
A good place for a gentle stroll
The waterfront is adorned with nice decorative touches like these seal sculptures
A ship's wheel reminds you of the city's seafaring heritage
There's a lawn to relax on, or for kids to run around on
A small arena is a good place to sit and chill out
The striking wedge of the ASPAM building overlooks the harborfront
Ferries dock at the port just a few minutes' walk from ASPAM
