Kuroishi, Municipal center in Aomori Prefecture, Japan
Kuroishi extends across 217 square kilometers between Hirosaki City and the Hakkoda Mountains, featuring numerous shops and residential districts within its boundaries.
The region transformed from Tsugaru clan territory to an independent domain in 1809, leading to the establishment of the current municipality on July 1, 1954.
The Nakamachi neighborhood contains a preserved covered shopping arcade from 1656, recognized as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan.
Visitors can access tourist information at the multilingual center located at 187 Midorimachi, which provides free Wi-Fi, parking, and barrier-free facilities.
