Tsugaru Tourism Campaign “Tsugaru Tsunagaru”
Campaign period
2023.4.1 2023.6.30The local governments and tourism-related groups of 14 municipalities in the Tsugaru region of Aomori
Prefecture and JR East are uniting in a tourism campaign.
During the campaign period, limited-time events and opportunities will be offered at tourist spots
throughout the region.
Tsugaru will come together with exciting travel themes. Some of the themes include the majestic “Mt. Iwaki”,
“Hana-meguri (flower tour)” to enjoy spring flowers, and “Shirakami Sanchi” which will celebrate the 30th
anniversary of its registration as a World Natural Heritage site in 2023.
In addition, special events will be held in each of the 14 cities, towns, and villages to highlight the
campaign, and information about the beautiful Tsugaru can be found through websites and media.
Over the 14 Tsugaru Logo
I created this logo while thinking back to my childhood in Aomori, where I was born and raised.
One can find nature far beyond our imagination, and the echoes of festivals that make our blood run
wild. There is a mixture of beauty and passion here.
I depicted this thought with light in the stained glass “To the Blue Forest” at Aomori Airport. From
that, it has evolved anew with this new opportunity to connect to Tsugaru.
I have included many unique features of Tsugaru, such as the Shirakami-Sanchi, Mount Iwaki, black
woodpecker (Kumagera), fan-shaped Neputa, apples, kokeshi wooden dolls, golden ayu sweetfish, and hot
springs, in the letters to express my thoughts.
We named the title, “14 Tsugaru,” to give you a taste not only of Tsugaru, but also each of the 14
regions in Tsugaru.
“Tsugaru Tsunagaru” is the perfect phrase.
I hope that the various charms of Tsugaru will connect us, the region, and to the future.
