It is a wonderful place. The coast is in front of a big grassland.There are a lot of seagulls. The grass is green in summer. It should be the best time to go there.

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

An extraordinary morning!! You have to arrive very early but it is well worth it. So many booths selling fresh/frozen fish plus tremendous varieties of different authentic Japanese foods being cooked before your eyes. Go hungry as you will not leave that way. A can't miss experience.
6. 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).

Because of the lack of snow, ski resorts were slow to open. But we were glad we came here. The highlight was the four huge stage backdrops painted by Chagall for the ballet “Aleko”.

The huge three-dimensional work that made by wire and paper called Nebuta. Here, fully sized shiny Nebuta that participated in the Aomori Nebuta Festival are displayed. Footage of the Nebuta parade is also projected onto a 400-inch screen. Also you can enjoy taking souvenior photos!

It is fitting that the award winning floats are housed in a magnificent building. The design draws your eyes to the entrance and it's like it is telling you there is something special beyond the door. The museum will not disappoint and the floats will take your breath away! Would suggest visiting on the weekend for the live performances. Just stunning and will make the festival on my bucket list
