Outline of renewal

(Newly established) Regional collaboration space

The regional collaboration space is a space that was set up to convey the attractions of Aomori Prefecture's tourism and culture to customers visiting the Tohoku Expressway Tsugaru SA.

Local information dissemination corner (indoor: Out-bound line only)

Under the space that incorporates Aomori's traditional techniques (display shelves using Aomori indigo and local wood, lighting equipment of Bunaco), we will display local crafts and send Aomori tourism images.

At the time of the grand opening, local crafts with the theme of apples will be displayed.

Image of the nickname "Connect" of the regional cooperation space

The nickname of the regional collaboration space "Connect"
Aomori has many attractions such as tourism, culture, special products, food, crafts and arts. By transmitting this attraction from the Tsugaru SA regional cooperation space, we would like to become a clue to "connect the Expressway and Aomori."

In addition, when the word "connecting" is divided into two, it becomes "tsugaru" and "na", but "na" means "you" in Tsugaru dialect. I want you to connect with those who use the Expressway who will pick you up. With that in mind, the nickname is "Connected."

(Renewal) Commercial facility (Out-bound line only)

It opens earlier on December 21, 2018 (Friday).

(Renewal) Walk-in gate (upper and lower lines)

To make it easier for people in the area to use the Tsugaru SA, we modified the “walk-in gate” approach at the entrance to the general road to make it easier to use.
