Aomori Nebuta Festival, Cycling Ibaraki Prefecture & Tanabata in Sendai 🇯🇵🚲 Japan Road Trip Part 3!
This is the second part of our Tohoku Region visit, and the next stop on our 3 week road trip around Japan! This time we visit Aomori City (just south of where the last video was in Mutsu) to see the famous Aomori Nebuta Matsuri (青森ねぶた祭り – the huge annual summer festival). Afterwards we go to Miyagi Prefecture to celebrate Tanabata in Sendai City, and finally some cycling in Ibaraki Prefecture.
