This is a must see park when the cherry blossoms are in bloom during April. The trees are full and magnificent. There is a lot of food and things to buy on sale during the Cherry Blossom Festival in April. The tree are lit up very beautifully at night which is very romantic and beautiful to see. Well worth a visit

Presented on August 1st-7th, the Hirosaki Neputa festival brings Japanese folk-culture to life. Massive floats are painted with scenes from the country's mythologies and history in a traditional style, then illuminated from the inside so that they glow a brilliant yellow-orange. The floats are then paraded through the city are night, to the sound of taiko drum beats and fluttering notes on the flute. Some areas of the city also dedicate themselves the to past during this time, with tea houses opening their doors and shamisen music on the air.
5. Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 171 reviews
A spring festival at Hirosaki Park, famous for its cherry blossoms and boasting 2,600 cherry trees in about 50 varieties, such as Weeping Cherry and Double-Flowered Cherry. Held every year between April 23rd and May 5th, it delights the eyes of tourists with its cherry tree tunnel and western moat dyed the color of cherry blossoms. The cherry trees illuminated at night seem to float magically and make for a different charm than in the daytime. Don't miss the flowering of such invaluable trees as Japan's oldest Yoshino cherry (planted in 1882) and largest circumference Yoshino cherry (a little over 5m).

This is one of the nicer gardens I've seen in Japan. It is located near the Hirosaki park and city museum. See if possible; it will be a surprise, fall or spring.

My wife and I loved this Apple Farm because we could pick many sweet and crispy Aomori apples fresh from the tree. To us, this kind of experience is certainly unforgettable. We took a lot of photos and videos of this experience. We can eat fresh apples without any protective wax on their skin.
