Japan Guide
Northern Honshū
Arrival
Aomori Station lies on the west side of the city centre, just inland from the Bay Bridge and Aomori passenger terminal, where ferries from Wakinosawa (on the Shimokita Hantō) dock. Arriving by boat from Hokkaidō's Hakodate or Muroran ports, you'll pull up at a wharf further west, from where it's a ten-minute taxi ride into the centre (around ¥1300). Long-distance buses terminate at Aomori Station, while limousine buses from the airport (40min; ¥560) drop you outside either the station or ASPAM.
