After enjoying cherry blossom viewing in Hirosaki and Towada, Nameko decided to check out the Tennou Azalea Festival (天王つつじまつり) at the Tennou Jinja (Shrine) in Shichinohe on May 3rd.
Of course no trip to Shichinohe would be complete without a visit to Namiki Gelato, so Nameko started off his adventures in Shichinohe with a black sesame and houji-cha double cone!
Since it was a nice day, Nameko went outside to enjoy his gelato. After finishing his cone, he admired some of the many cow statues and tractors on display outside, as well as the lovely field of canola flowers. Some people were even taking (free) tractor rides through the fields.
After Namiki, it was onto the main event, the Tennou Azalea Festival!
Nameko thoroughly enjoyed his day out in Shichinohe!

I just came across your blog and I love it. I especially love Nameko's adventures. I fell in love with him when visiting Japan about 5 years ago. I'm now living and working in Okinawa at a University here, but it's so different than the mainland.
