Overview
Itayanagi is a small farming town on the Tsugaru peninsula in Aomori prefecture, famous for its apple production — the town's official symbol. The main draw is the Furusato Center near the station, which combines a small apple museum, greenhouse, park with pond, restaurant, onsen, and rentable cottages.
