#0YenTravel2025Autumn
The Hirosaki Castle Chrysanthemum and Autumn Foliage Festival, held every fall at Hirosaki Castle Park in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, is a quintessential autumn sight in the Tohoku region. Approximately 1,000 maple trees and 2,600 cherry trees turn red, enveloping the castle in vibrant colors, creating a landscape reminiscent of a woodblock print. The park is filled with dolls crafted from magnificent chrysanthemums and exhibits themed around local history and stories. The park is illuminated at night, creating a magical atmosphere distinct from the daytime. This festival of beauty and tradition colors Hirosaki in autumn.
