My second Tohoku tour making use of the [https://www.jreast.co.jp/multi/pass/welcomerailpass.html JR Welcome Pass] took me to Aomori and Akita to visit some castles I missed on my trip from 2 years ago. At the time, I ran into rain and foul weather forcing me to skip some castles that I had wanted to visit. Unfortunately, I ran into rain or snow at some point on every part of this trip too and cut my visit short again. This could be some conspiracy by the Tohoku weather gods to make me visit yet again! Wherever possible, I like to visit a cluster of related castles. There were a lot of good connections between all the castles on this trip with the exception of the ancient fortified village of [[Takayashikidate]]. See the visit notes below for details and follow through to the individual castle profiles for the histories and photos. This is the last update of castle profiles from my 2020 travels. Despite much of the year being on-hold for COVID19 and recovering from a shoulder injury in early 2020, I visited 44 new castles in 2020, which was actually a one year record. I need to get out to visit some more sites once this State of Emeregency is over !
