[2025 Aomori Attraction] Travel Guide for Seikan Train Ferry Memorial Ship Hakkōda-maru (Updated Jun)

The Hakkoda Maru Museum is located near Aomori Station. The Hakkoda Maru, a ferry that ran between Hakodate and Aomori, has been turned into a museum. Ships continued to pass through the tunnel until the Seikan Tunnel was built, but you can learn about its history and the tunnel construction process. It's quite interesting. #museum

The Hakkoda Maru is located in Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture. This ship served as a ferry between Aomori and Hakodate. It was used to travel to Hakodate. It brings to mind the winter scenery of the Tsugaru Straits, which any Japanese person would have heard of. The Hakkoda Maru is no longer in service, but it is open to the public. If you go inside, you can see the tools of the night ship from that time and apple merchants!! #Snowscape #Breathtaking view

#Spring0yentrip When I arrived at Aomori Station, I first had scallops at the restaurant "Osanai" in front of the station, and I was impressed by how plump and sweet they were. It seemed to be a restaurant frequented by locals, and had a nice warm atmosphere. After that, I went to the Sannai-Maruyama ruins, where huge pillars and remains of houses from the Jomon period were spread out, and I felt close to the lives of people in the past. It was also impressive to board the Hakkoda Maru at Aomori Port and learn about the history of the Seikan Ferry. Inside, the atmosphere of the time remained, which was exciting. Then, at the Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse, I was overwhelmed to see the impressive Nebuta up close. Aomori was a city where you could enjoy food, history, and culture at your leisure.

Currently, the Seikan Tunnel connects Honshu and Hokkaido by land via the Shinkansen, but in the past, they used to transport trains by ship. Of course, there were airplanes back then, but they weren't as common as they are now, so it must be considered almost the only one. It's in Aomori, which is known to have the most snow in Japan, and you can get there within a 5-minute walk from the station!! It's a shame that I can only upload 20 photos, but If you come to Aomori, I recommend visiting it as a time travel! #Overseas travel #Japan travel #Aomori #Aomori travel #Seikan tunnel #Seikan ferry #Memorial ship #Hakodamaru #Honshu #Hokkaido #Solo travel

The Hakkoda Maru, a memorial ship for the Seikan Ferry, is located in Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture. This ship formerly connected Honshu and Hokkaido. Now that it's retired, it's open to the public as a museum ship. Inside the ship, actual passenger rooms, dining rooms, and cockpits have been recreated, and explanations of what maritime travel was like at the time are easy to understand. You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Aomori Bay from the ship's deck. You can even enter the cockpit, which you would never be able to enter if the ship was still in operation, so ship enthusiasts will love it! Another unique thing about the Hakkoda Maru is that it has a "car deck" where cargo cars are loaded onto it. There are train tracks running through the ship! This is apparently extremely rare even around the world. Of course, you can also see the cargo cars on board the ship. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Hakkoda Maru, the memorial ship of the Aomori-Hakodate Ferry 📍 112-15 Yanagawa 1-chome, Aomori City 🕐 9:00-19:00 (17:00 in winter) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Domestic travel trip #Hakkoda Maru #Aomori tourism #Aomori trip
