Itinerary

  • Former Hirosaki City Library

    This library was built to commemorate victory in the Japanese-Russo War in 1906 and was used as city library until 1931. It is a 3-story wooden mortar building with twin octagonal towers constructed in Renaissance style.

    20 minutes

  • Hirosaki Park

    Hirosaki Park is one of Japan's best cherry blossom spots. With its abundance of over 2500 trees, cherry blossom tunnels, petal filled moats, numerous pleasant picnic areas, rental rowing boats, many varieties of cherry trees and illuminations in the evenings, it feels like multiple great cherry blossom spots combined into a single one.

    30 minutes

  • Hirosaki Castle

    Hirosaki Castle used to be a splendid five-story tower which stood on the southwestern part of the castle’s keep. The tower unfortunately burnt down when it was hit by lightning. The Laws for the Military Houses at that time prohibited the tower from being rebuilt to its original grandeur and the castle tower was eventually rebuilt as the three story tower we see today. The tower is the only castle tower in Tohoku area which was rebuilt in Edo Period and recognized as symbol of the city of Hirosaki.

    15 minutes

  • Tsugaruhan Neputa Mura

    Tsugaru-han Neputa Mura is a tourist spot where visitors can experience a quasi-Hirosaki Neputa Festival. The fan-shaped Neputa actually used in the festival are exhibited for viewing. Visitors can also try the taiko (Japanese drums) along with the Neputa musicians themselves. Live Tsugaru-shamisen performance are also open for viewing.

    40 minutes

  • Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival

    A festival is held annually from April 23 to May 5, when the blossoms are usually in bloom. Starting with the Sakura Tunnel (cherry blossom tunnel) on the west moat, the cherry blossoms of Hirosaki Park enchant visitors with a variety of displays throughout the viewing season. Visitors can paddle a small boat to view blossoms reflecting off the moat, come at night to see the trees illuminated, or see the grounds carpeted in falling blossoms.

    30 minutes

  • Ishiba Residence

    This is the residence of a merchant family during the late Edo Period. Designated an important cultural property, today the building is used as a brewery. For generations, Ishiba family heads were named Seibei and dealt in sundry goods. It is a valuable building as one of few remaining merchant resident buildings. It has atmosphere distinctive to the snowy north with its long history marked on open hearth and pillars.

Wonderful Cherry Blossom Experience

Published on May, 2024

Atshushi was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! We learned a lot about the history of Hirosaki. We also go to see the last trees bloom with cherry blossoms and that was truly a special experience. We did a full day tour and we feel like we got a lot out of this excursion! Atshushi made this experience unforgettable and we were very lucky to have him as our guide. Thank you again Atshushi!

Ethereal and Enchanting Hirosaki

Published on Apr, 2024

Ethereal and enchanting are the words I would use to describe our experience in Hirosaki. We were lucky to see the Sakura in full bloom on a beautiful bright day, Though we had only booked for a day trip we requested our guide Mizu to guide us through the night lighting also. She graciously agreed. Hirosaki has more than 2600 Sakura. Mizu and I could count the 2605th tree. It was a beautiful blend of natural beauty of the Sakura, the Mt Iwaki (Tsugaru Fuji) in the background, the lovely water bodies (moats), and of history the majestic Hirosaki Castle, the imposing gates. The view at night is never never never to be missed. The moon shone in all its beauty as if admiring the beautiful beautiful Sakura with all the sea of humans admiring them from below We saw a lot, The oldest Sakura planted in 1882, the Sakura tunnel, the hidden heart (no longer hidden : )) among the trees, the castle, the mountains. We did a lot of things like boating (not to be missed). Admiring the park from the waters below is another amazing experience. It was an out of the world experience to see the beautiful Sakura tree swaying in the wind, the petals falling from the trees as if in a dance, falling on the ground, on the water, on our hair, face and body. When the petals fell on me I felt as if I was lovingly kissed by nature. Gave me so much comfort. Having spent only a day in the huge park of more than 4 hectares, it was not possible to see all the beautiful spots by oneself. And a professional guide is very much needed. Without Mizu, our experience would have been incomplete. Thank you so much Mizu. You were so kind, so sweet and so knowledgeable! With a lot and lots more of love!

Great day trip from Tokyo!

Published on Apr, 2023

We did a quick day trip from Tokyo to Hirosaki to see the cherry blossoms (we flew in and out, same day). Shiho was our guide and she was fantastic! She met us at the airport and took us on a fabulous tour of Hirosaki. She kept us entertained all day and helped us navigate public transport back to the Aomari airport. The day flowed seamlessly and was so much fun. We got to see the tail end of the cherry blossoms. Thank you Shiho!
