Route 339 Staircase National Highway T-Shirt | Cape Tappi Aomori

About This Product

This is an original T-shirt by Hasegawa Shizen Kobo, inspired by the famous “Staircase National Highway” section of Japan National Route 339 at Cape Tappi in Aomori Prefecture.

Part of National Route 339 cannot be traveled by car. Instead, there is a section where people must walk up and down a staircase. This location is known as Japan’s only “staircase national highway.”

Unlike an ordinary national highway, this unusual route must be traveled one step at a time on foot.

This T-shirt captures the distinctive scenery and character of the staircase section of Route 339 in its front design.

It is a great choice for people who have actually walked the staircase highway, as well as those who enjoy Japanese roads, unusual highways, Aomori, Cape Tappi, maps, and unique travel destinations.

This design was created as a way to wear and remember the experience of the road and the journey itself.

About the Design

The front features an illustrated scene inspired by the Staircase National Highway section of Route 339, which winds along the slope at Cape Tappi.

The Route 339 road sign is used as a visual accent, while the design also incorporates the staircase, surrounding nature, and scenery characteristic of Cape Tappi.

Rather than focusing only on the steps themselves, the artwork also includes surrounding greenery, terrain, and the atmosphere of the actual location to better convey what makes this road so distinctive.

For people who love the roads of Aomori.

For people who enjoy unusual highways.

And for those who have actually walked these famous steps.

This design lets you enjoy the unique appeal of National Route 339 — known as Japan’s only staircase national highway — on a T-shirt.
