Hirosaki Park

Hirozen Park is so beautiful all year round - pink cherry blossoms in spring, red maple leaves in autumn, snow in winter, there are corresponding activities in each season, cherry blossom Festival, red leaf Festival and snow Lantern Festival, no matter when you come here!


Hirosaki Park is located in the center of Hirosaki City and has been selected as one of the top 100 Cherry Blossom Attractions in Japan, One of the Top 100 Japanese Scenic Spots where Man and Nature intersect, and one of the Top 100 Famous cities in Japan.

There are also many places to enjoy around Hirosaki Castle, Japan's oldest Ryomi Yoshino, the cherry blossom tunnel at the West Moat, the night sakura lit at night, and the cherry blossoms in Hirosaki Park, which is definitely not to be missed!

Hirosaki Park will hold the "Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival", if the cherry blossoms bloom earlier than expected, the festival will start earlier (interested partners can pay attention to the latest time on the official website oh)

There are about 2,600 cherry trees in the park, and Hirosaki Castle is surrounded by cherry blossoms. If you have enough time, it is recommended to stay here for a day, because the cherry blossoms during the day and at night are too beautiful, the day is bright, the night is gentle, two different kinds of beauty.


In the park, you can also see the remains of the Tenshou Pavilion, the fort and the city gate, which still retain traces of the Edo period. It is rare in Japan to see a castle of this scale open as a park while retaining the facade of the past, allowing everyone to enjoy the historical site up close.

The whole building, the works of art and the street itself are connected together to form an art gallery of "Art everywhere in the city". Not only are there many works in the gallery, but there are also many outdoor art installations across the street from the gallery. It is really enjoyable to walk around the city.

Aomori is really an art town, very artistic and leisurely feeling, there are not many people, very happy and comfortable when watching, here to see a lot of lovely, shocking, interesting works, sensory interaction is very strong, very suitable for taking photos, tickets will give a book with the interpretation of each work, will not see the clouds in the fog ~

This is really a lifetime worth a visit to the art gallery!!!

More importantly, unlike ordinary art galleries, this modern art museum integrates art into the urban landscape, which is also the first in Japan. It will make you feel fresh, experience the shock of art.
