Nejo Castle and Viewing Enburi

Nejo Castle is a nationally designated historic site and one of Japan’s 100 Famous Castles. Archaeological excavations and restoration work were carried out over a period of approximately 11 years starting in 1978.

In October 1994, the main area of the site was developed into a public park known as “Nejo Castle Plaza.” Based on excavation findings, the former main keep site has been carefully restored to reflect the appearance of Nejo Castle during the Azuchi-Momoyama period(1573-1603).

Hachinohe Senbei-jiru

Senbei-jiru is a traditional local dish enjoyed mainly in Hachinohe, southern Aomori Prefecture, and northern Iwate Prefecture. It is a hearty soup made with chicken-based broth and seasonal vegetables, featuring firm Senbei (rice crackers) that soak up the rich flavor of the soup.

The softened crackers become especially delicious, making this comforting dish both satisfying and filling. Many restaurants in Hachinohe offer their own creative variations of senbei-jiru and Senbei (rice cracker) dishes, so be sure to try one while enjoying the Enburi Festival.
