Observation Tower

3.5

Built as a place to promote Aomori’s local products in 1986, this facility also introduces guests to local industry and folk entertainment. The origin of the name ASPAM comes from the initials in a direct English translation of the facility’s Japanese name, which becomes Aomori, Sightseeing, Products, Mansion. From the observatory on the 13th floor visitors can enjoy a view of the urban center of Aomori, the Shimokita, Tsugaru, and Natsudomari peninsulas, Mutsu Bay, and the Aomori Bay Bridge. Be sure to take in the incredible 360-degree panoramic view.

Just visited this building to get some souvenirs. It was very quiet and I ended up buying stuff in and close to the station! You could hear Nebuta festivals music in the building which was great!
Came here for the Christmas market

Place was quite nice. We came here for the Christmas market but it was quite a wet evening with sleet, so didnt really get to enjoy.
AND A FOOD FAIR WHEN I ARRIVED THERE

This is one of the centers in the city to get around from, it is more than just a tourist office, it has bus information and an office for other parts of the Aomori area.
