About home town

  My home town is Towada city.It is located inland in the southeast of Aomori prefecture.
Surrounded by mountains in the west including Mt.Hakkoda.
Towada enjoys a beautiful and peaceful natural setting, a wide sky, an abundance of fresh water from Oirase River, and the field nurturing waters of the Inaoigawa River.
This city also famous for Kanchogay street！

   The city hosted the big event "B1 gland prix" in October 4-5.
B1 gland prix's "B" means to local brand .This event's purpose is to appeal local tasty gourmet and charm of the town to many people. The number of visitors this event  in two days was 33 million people although the city has a population of 63,593 !  Many Towada city people frome students to elderly participated in volunteer. 
    My favorite  spot is "Kanchogai-dori. 168 pine trees and 157cherry trees line this 36 meter-wide street extending for 1.1 km. In 1986, the street was selected as one of 100 best streets in Japan, and in 1992, it was also selected and included in the “New One Hundred Views of Japan.” The street is beautifully lit up both when the cherry blossoms come in full bloom in spring and during the Christmas holidays.  Please try to come in Towada！
Thank you .
