Aomori (é森ç) is the capital city of the northernmost prefecture on Japan's main island Honshu, named after Aomori Bay (é森湾). The Aomori prefecture is in the Tohoku Region. It came into existence in 1871.
- In 1625, under the instructions of Nobuhira, to create a port, the second Lord of Tsugaru, Yashichiro Moriyama undertook the development of the village of Utomura, located in the district of Sotogahama. At the time, there was a small hill in the Komemachi neighbornhood. It was covered with a year-round green forest and thus made an excellent landmark for fishing vessels entering the harbor. This is said to be the origin of the name Aomori (literally "blue-green forest") [1]
