The Aomori City Forestry Museum

#asiabudgetchallenge
The Aomori City Forestry Museum is a hidden gem that offers a fascinating look into Aomori’s deep connection with forests and woodcraft. Housed in a beautifully preserved wooden building from the Taishō era, the museum features vintage logging tools, a recreated forest railway, and detailed exhibits on Aomori’s timber industry. I especially loved the hands-on displays and the nostalgic atmosphere inside. It’s quiet, educational, and perfect for history lovers.

Rough Budget: ¥250 (admission) + ¥300–¥500 (transport/snack)

Travel Tip: Combine this with a walk in nearby Aoimori Park and check the museum calendar—sometimes there are woodworking workshops or seasonal exhibits
