Satomi Yukida
Tsugaru Girl

I am a Tsugaru shamisen player and a bilingual Tsugaru cultural expert who can also make the traditional craft of kogin-sashi. In order to promote my hometown, Aomori, to the rest of the country, I am working hard every day as an evangelist of Tsugaru culture, making full use of my extensive relationships with local artists and vendors. Currently, he is working to make the product lineup of the store in Hoshino Resorts KAI Tsugaru even more attractive.

Please sneak in some hole-in-the-wall places that you know because you live there.

Namioka Castle Ruins, located about 20 minutes by car from Aomori Airport, has very beautiful cherry blossoms from late April to early May!
Behind the cherry blossoms, you can see apple fields and Mt. Hakkouda, making you feel like you are enjoying Aomori all at once.
Since there are no festivals held here, the view is not disturbed by food stalls. Enjoy taking pictures, taking a walk with your pet, or having a picnic with your family is also recommended.

Where did you travel to last year and with whom?

I have traveled to Tohoku for relaxation, whether it was a luxury trip with colleagues, a girls' trip with local friends, or a solo trip.
I love the Tohoku region so much that I always drive my own car and visit inns throughout the Tohoku region. My goal is to enjoy the inns, so I go out of my room and explore every corner of the inn.
