- Jimmy OngKuala Lumpur, Malaysia898 contributionsInteresting to VisitVery interesting museum. There are 2 shows. First show is drum show and second is playing a 3 strums local guitar. You can also see locals performing art craft here. Really interesting. We had lunch here opposite the museum which is good.Visited February 2024Travelled with familyWritten February 26, 2024
- CynthiaTaipei, Taiwan27 contributionsBeautiful Paper Lantern Exhibition in Heavy Snow WinterThis museum is quite small. But the paper lantern inside is very beautiful. I think the ticket price is a bit overpriced, but perhaps, because we missed the daily performance. Quick tip, please check the daily performance schedule on their website because they especially perform the dance and the parade for the visitor to give us a glimpse of the actual festival happened in Aomori. PS. It’s also a nice place to warm ourselves during the heavy snow winter time.Visited February 2024Travelled with friendsWritten July 30, 2024
- MethaneRusBrooklyn, New York1,376 contributionsGo during their Annual Nebute festivalIt is a must see when visiting Aomori and make a stop by the A factory afterward. There are shops close to the museum as well. Visited during the annual nebute festival where the locals visit from all over the country to see the nebute during this week long event. it was wonderful and a must see. Extra points if you purchase their costumes and are able to walk during the parade. Highly recommend the museum and the festival.Visited August 2024Travelled soloWritten August 12, 2024

This was educational and interactive. There is a lot of history of the festival explained and the beautiful must see floats. The unexpected part for me was the music and dance show where you can join in playing the drums and other instruments, or dance. I loved this and now take family and friends there to see the show.

[Time required] 1 hour 40 minutes [Cost] 550 yen (JAF 70 yen discount) [Parking] Present your admission ticket and parking ticket to General Information on the 1st floor for 1 hour free. (The rest is 30 minutes / 110 yen)
(Comment) It was an impressive red building. Parking is adjacent to the back. The aim is to experience 15:10 Nebuta-bayashi, Haneto and Hayashi.
Actually, I wanted to take part in the summer Nebuta Festival, but the tour was a forced march to the hotel in the middle of the night after the viewing, and even six months ago the hotel in front of the station was fully booked, so at least I had the experience. I had a bit of time, so I watched last year's wonderful plants and touched the plants I touched, and the person in charge explained it to me attentively.
The performance was by three women, of whom the flute player was the one who explained it to me earlier. And the hayashi experience is with drums and money. And we had a honeymoon experience along with the performance.
The Nebuta had the impression of being elongated, but the real thing is almost square and can be seen up close with lots of LEDs and a generator for it.

This museum is definitely worth a stop. The building itself is unusually designed so that starts things off on a positive note. Once inside you'll see Nebuta in various station of construction and many that are completed. I'm pretty sure it changes from year to year with new Nebuta displayed.
Hard to stop taking pictures. The color and the designs are just amazing!

In the exhibition room, you can see the powerful nebuta and the structure inside. There is a taiko experience and a workshop where you can make taiko. At the shop, you can buy a Chikunami 3D Clear File 1430 yen design sticker for 1500 yen, and it is a facility that you can enjoy for half a day.

There display many huge sedan chairs foe summer festival. They are excellently designed with Japanese traditional style, telling some imaginative stories. If you like art, it is good for you.

This is a terrific museum. It is filled with colorful and unusual 3D paper lanterns floats used in the Festival of Lanterns parade in Aomori each year in August. Some of the floats are huge - up to 50 feet long. There is also a musicial demonstration featuring the drums, flutes and other instruments used during the parade. It only takes about an hour to go through the museum, located 10 minutes walking distance from the Port and right in downtown Aomori.

We would like to see the actual Nebuta Festival, but it is difficult to do so when we consider the timing and securing accommodation. For us, the Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse is a facility where we can see, feel, and experience Aomori Nebuta. It is located very close to the hotel where we were staying and about a 3-minute walk from Aomori Station.
Inside the building, there is the Nebuta Museum and the Nebuta Hall. The Nebuta Museum introduces the origins and history of Nebuta through easy-to-understand videos and structures. After that, we went to the Nebuta Hall. There were four large and impressive Nebuta floats that actually took part in the festival on display, and we were able to see them up close.
After a while, it was time to experience the Haneto experience and musical performances in front of the real Nebuta. You can jump as you like and play by ringing the bells.
This is an essential facility for sightseeing in Aomori city.

I wasn't particularly interested in the Nebuta Festival, but after coming here, I wanted to see the actual Nebuta Festival. After looking at the panels and video exhibits explaining the history of the Nebuta Festival, I went down to the hall on the first floor where many real Nebuta were on display. In addition, in the hall, there are "Nebuta music performances, Haneto experience, and music experience" several times a day. It lasts about 30 minutes. Please check the times and visit accordingly. On weekdays, it seems that the Wa Rasse staff perform, but on this day, it was a Sunday and a real music group performed. The power and beauty of the Nebuta, and the rhythm and realism of the music made me want to see the actual festival. One thing that made me think "Wow", was that it used to be run by local groups, but now it is run by sponsoring groups such as companies.

This museum displays real Nebuta floats. If you visit before going to see the festival, you will gain a deeper understanding. Right behind the museum is Aomori Bay, with a beautiful view of the Bay Bridge and the ocean.

I have mobility issues so I would need to take a taxi to the museum., Are they readily available at the pier ? I will be arriving by cruise ship in late September.
Do you recall the price of admission?
Written August 27, 2023
Hi NJRoamer7, were you able to go to the Nebuta Warasse Museum from your crusie ship? We are also going in May 2024 and I would like to know if the Museum is just walking distance from the cruise ship port. Thank you.
Written September 30, 2023
Is the museum open during the afternoons of the Summer festival period (for ex august 5,2017).
Is there a long line??
Written April 20, 2017
how far from cruse ship dock, and how much for a taxi from cruise ship to musea?
Written March 20, 2016
If you are visiting Aomori on a cruise ship, it will not be a walking distance from where your ship will dock. It is around 15 minutes drive. I do not know how much a taxi will cost, but the cruise ship usually provides a free shuttle bus service to the city center. The shuttle bus stops very close to this attraction. So, you are not likely to need a taxi.
