		Hirosaki is a castle town known for its neputa, lantern floats in the shape of fans rising from a square base on which they sometimes rotate.
		The main differences with the Aomori nebuta is that they usually portray one character standing upright on an elaborate narrow tiered platform and that the construction is in parts that are assembled to create the towering form.
		In the procession itself in Aomori, although all groups play the same tune with a similar rythm, they each have their own tune which is played once they follow the float outside the procession route and when competing on stage.

	J3J Episode 9.7: RTB -- Gone with the Rain
		The monosyllabic attempts at conversation soon died down and we rode the two hours to Aomori almost in silence, until a few kilometers before the center he pulled over and said "station" -- and there was indeed a sign pointing to Higashi-Aomori station nearby.
		Interestingly enough, the road I came to Aomori on, national road #4, follows the coast all the way to Ueno in Tokyo and as we approached the signposts counted the increasing distance in 100-meter increments: Aomori is some 725 km from Tokyo.
		So I took the local to Hirosaki and had a quick consultation at the tourist office which informed me that Hirosaki has one (1) temple lodging, closed, and two (2) minshuku, both 20 min on foot in the wrong direction.
