On to the next city…I had to go from Hachinohe Station to Shin-Aomori Station then Aomori Station. Which was the quickest route and took about 40 mins in total via the JR which is covered by the JR Pass. Alternatively there is a direct train, via the Aoimori Tetsudo Local line which will take about 1 hr 30 mins.All Shinkansen train up north like Hayate or Hayabusa will require you to book a seat in advance, if you a JR pass it will be covered but you do have to pop by the JR office to get a ticket.It was so cold…so luckily there were vending machines on the platform and I grabbed a hot milk coffee.I arrived at Shin-Aomori!! The station is filled with many cool look Nebuta!Like this!! Too cool!!And this one!!Not sure who he is but there was a pretty big balloon figure by the doors!Right…Setting out my journey…I went directly to my hotel first to drop off my luggage then…I walked to the most important place of freaking cool lanterns!! The Nebuta Museum!
The Flying Tofu 
Wow! Those paper lanterns are really cool. A piece of art 🙂
