Hirosaki Park

Hirosaki Park sits in the middle of the city of Hirosaki. It surrounds the remains of Hirosaki Castle, which was active until the end of the Edo period (1603 – 1867). The park is known nationwide for its 2,600 cherry blossoms in the spring. They are everywhere in the park – by the moat, near the castle, and so forth. Over 2 million visitors rush to Hirosaki Park every April to see the cherry blossoms.
