Misawa, Military base city in Aomori Prefecture, Japan

Located on the southern shore of Lake Ogawara, Misawa extends across 119 square kilometers of land facing the Pacific Ocean in northern Japan.

The establishment of an Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service base in 1941 transformed the agricultural village into a strategic military location during World War II.

The Misawa City Summer Festival brings together local residents and international visitors with traditional performances, food stalls, and fireworks displays over Lake Ogawara.

Public transportation networks connect major areas of Misawa, with regular bus services operating between residential districts, commercial centers, and the military base.

The Misawa Aviation and Science Museum displays aircraft evolution through interactive exhibits, flight simulators, and preserved military vehicles from different periods.
