Aomori, How Could It Not Be Memorable?

Nakamora is back home now flipping the tourist brochures given to everyone in his group while they were in Japan. The cover exclaimed "A Memorable Journey, Aomori/Japan." How could it not be memorable, he thought. It was snowing starting from the day they arrived, and stopped only on the day they left.
It was indeed an interesting assignment. Yes, he went there on duty, not as a tourist. But he thought part of learning is to be sensitive and observant of any new surroundings.
Aomori is the northernmost prefecture of Japan on the Honshu Island. It is served by two airports: at Misawa and Aomori City. Every prefecture has regions, and in Aomori they are the Tsugaru, Nanbu, and Shimokita Regions. The Tsugaru Region makes the prefecture famous for its apples, and mount Iwaki, which is dubbed as the "Fujiyama of Tsugaru." It is also home to Shirakami Mountains, which is one of World Heritage Sites. The Shimokita Region, facing the Pacific Ocean is home to Rokkasho Village, or Rokkasho-mura, an important site for nuclear energy in Japan. It is called a village, but the village is a big one, measuring more than 250 square kilometers, with a population count of more than 11000 in 1998. Nuclear fuel reprocessing, uranium enrichment, and low level radioactive waste disposal centers are located in the village. The region has one BWR nuclear power plant operating at Higashidori, supplying 1100 Megawatts of electricity. Those are just technical details.
