Kuraishi, Aomori

Kuraishi (倉石村, Kuraishi-mura) was a village located in Sannohe District in central Aomori Prefecture, Japan.

On July 1, 2004, Kuraishi was merged into the expanded town of Gonohe, and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality.

An inland village, Kuraishi had an agriculture-based economy and was noted for its production of apples.

Today, the former village lends its name to Aomori Kuraishi beef, a branded black-haired wagyu raised in Gonohe.

Kuraishi was served by Route 454 (Japan) highway, but had no rail service.
