Aomori Plain - Aomori Heiya

A plain in the center of Aomori Prefecture. It covers an area of ​​170 square kilometers. It stretches from Asamushi on the southwestern tip of the Natsudomari Peninsula in the east to Sotogahama Town in Higashitsugaru County on the east coast of the Tsugaru Peninsula in the west, forming a crescent moon shape surrounding Aomori Bay. The plain is low-lying, with the Arakawa, Komagome River, and Nouchi River dissecting the plateau to the south before flowing north and emptying into Aomori Bay. Aomori City is in the center of the plain, but rice fields spread out around it.
