🌸Why Visit?

Hirosaki Park is considered one of Japan’s top three cherry blossom viewing spots, famous for its:

- 2,600+ cherry trees, including the iconic Somei Yoshino, Shidarezakura (weeping cherry), and rare Yaezakura(double-layered blossoms)
- The majestic Hirosaki Castle as a backdrop, offering a unique mix of history and floral beauty
- Cherry blossom tunnel paths and petal-filled moats – after the peak, fallen petals blanket the water, creating the famous "hana-ikada" (flower raft) scene
- Nighttime illumination, making for magical evening strolls beneath glowing blossoms
