Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tohoku?
The best area to stay in Tohoku, particularly for a first-time visitor focusing on Aomori Prefecture, is Aomori City.

Aomori City is the capital of Aomori Prefecture and serves as an excellent base for exploring the region. It's a port city with good transport links, including a Shinkansen (bullet train) station, making it easy to access other parts of Tohoku. The city centre is compact enough to explore on foot, with hotels, restaurants, and shops concentrated around Aomori Station and the waterfront. Key landmarks include the Aomori Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse and the ASPAM building, which offers panoramic views.

Couples looking for a convenient and comfortable stay will find Aomori City ideal. You can easily enjoy local cuisine at establishments near the station, explore the fresh produce at the Aomori Gyosai Centre, and take day trips to scenic spots like the Hakkoda Mountains or Lake Towada. The city offers a good selection of quality hotels, many with excellent dining options and facilities like high-end fitness equipment.

For travellers interested in a more secluded experience closer to nature, especially during autumn or winter, staying near Lake Towada or the Oirase Gorge offers a different appeal. While less urban, these areas provide direct access to stunning natural landscapes.
When is the best time to go to Tohoku?
The best time to visit Tohoku is generally during the spring (late April to May) for cherry blossoms or autumn (late October to early November) for vibrant foliage.

Spring in Tohoku is particularly popular for its stunning cherry blossom displays, which typically occur later here than in southern Japan due to the cooler climate. You can enjoy the blossoms at iconic spots like Hirosaki Castle Park in Aomori Prefecture, which is famous for its thousands of cherry trees and picturesque moats. This period is ideal for couples looking for a romantic and scenic trip, with pleasant temperatures superb for exploring.

Autumn transforms Tohoku into a canvas of reds, oranges, and yellows, making it a fantastic time for those who appreciate natural beauty. The Hakkoda Mountains in Aomori Prefecture offer breathtaking views from their ropeway, and the Oirase Gorge is spectacular with its colourful trees lining the walking trails.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Tohoku.
How much is the nightly rate at a Tohoku hotel?
Prices for hotels in Tohoku often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $58 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
