Tamamatsu Beach, shallow shore01 ／ Tamamatsu
Tamamatsudai, on the rise west of Tamamatsu Beach, is a 1.88-hectare pine-ringed park. The village presents its old pine, Tamamatsu, as over 300 years old. In the Edo period boats bound for the ports of Aomori City are said to have judged their arrival by it, and local boats used it as a lighthouse-like mark.
02 ／ Yomogita Castle ruins
The grove of the Hachiman shrine is the Yomogita castle site, also known by a name meaning the large manor. It is said to have been a local chieftain's residence in the Nanbokucho period; who built it and when is unknown. A 1975 dig turned up Jomon pottery and stone tools, Satsumon pottery, and Chinese white and blue-green porcelain.
03 ／ Shoboin Temple
The two Nio guardian statues at Shoboin's gate were completed in 1930 by a boat carpenter from Aomori City, who worked four years; they are said to follow the model of the Nio at Todaiji in Nara. The temple was founded in 1613 and moved to its present site in 1662. Its Enku bodhisattva statue is a prefectural treasure.
