    Aomori, Japan gets the most amount of snowfall per year out of anywhere in the world! It feels pretty crazy living in the snowest place on earth. This year has been especially snowy with 80 inches in less than a month! Let's just say there's a lot of shoveling involved.
    We love visiting the Komaki Onsen Shibusawa Park on the weekends and eating at our favorite Yakiniku restaurant. We hope you enjoyed a little look into our life in Misawa, Japan!

    Aloha, I was stationed at Misawa in the early 80's. I did a 3.5 year enlisted tour and an extra year as a contractor. I am a Maui native, but would move back to Misawa at the drop of a hat. Loved the people, the culture, the food, and the SNOW. I know, funny coming from an island boy, right? Well, I did manage to introduce snowboarding to northern Japan. I was the first one way back in 1982. Consider yourselves blessed to live this experience.

    1982-1986 Used to sumo on base team. Traveled a lot doing so. Shoveled a lot of snow. Used to cook O yako-dan for lunch. I could walk home for lunch; that was a blessing. Stayed in Misawa as long as possible.

    Try the drive up to lake Towada, the snow monkeys will get into the hot springs with you. Drove up with 20 foot snow banks on each side of the road. The volcanic action keeps the air warmer up on top so you drive from white out to green. When I was stationed at Misawa, there was a place called Nina's on the alley. Best boneless fried chicken I ever tasted. Was there in 75. Nice vid, enjoyed the experience.

      Are the hangars close enough to the dorms for an airman to walk to work, even in snow? Or does one really need to have a car to get to work?

    I love your videos!! Is there a lot of things to do on base? Does the snow stay on the ground for a long time? Do you recommend getting a car or can you ride with other people?

    • @mattanddags
      @mattanddags  3 роки тому

      Thank you! The base is very small but there's usually a lot going on. We have a bowling alley, gym, beach, arts & craft center, woodshop, etc. The snow usually melts pretty fast but we get so much of it that it just piles on top of each other for months. I DEFINITELY recommend getting at least one car. The cars are very cheap and you can usually just get them from people who are PCSing. We paid $3,500 for each of our cars and we've had no problems with either of them yet.
