Tsugaru City faces the Sea of Japan in the western Tsugaru Plain and was formed in 2005 by the merger of 1 town and 4 villages. The Kamegaoka Stone Age Site, where a "goggle-eyed" clay figurine was found, and the Tagoyano Shell Mound are components of the World Heritage Site "Jomon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan." The rows of torii gates at Takayama Inari Shrine are also a highlight.
