## Route description

The [Aomori Nebuta Matsuri](/source/Aomori_Nebuta_Matsuri) on Shinmachi Street

Shinmachi Street runs west–east from the eastern side of [Aomori Station](/source/Aomori_Station) 1.0 kilometre (0.62 mi) to Yanagimachi-dōri. The street is designated as Aomori Prefecture Route 16 along with the part of Yanagimachi-dōri between it and [Japan National Route 4](/source/Japan_National_Route_4).[2]

Since Aomori often receives heavy amounts of snow, the shopping street is equipped with a [de-icing](/source/De-icing) system that pumps seawater from [Aomori Bay](/source/Aomori_Bay) and sprays it on the street.[3]
