Hirosaki Castle 🇯🇵🏰
#cherryblossom2024
Hey there! Just got back from an unforgettable spring trip to Hirosaki, and I'm eager to share my experience at the Hirosaki Castle! 🏰 Admission was totally worth it – a few hundred yen, making it a budget-friendly option for history buffs and nature lovers. 💸 Located in Aomori Prefecture, this iconic castle is a must-visit for anyone exploring Japan's rich cultural heritage.
Walking through the grounds of Hirosaki Castle is like stepping into a fairytale. Surrounded by stunning cherry blossoms in spring, the castle's elegant architecture and tranquil moat create a picture-perfect scene. 🌸 Exploring the castle's interior, you'll discover fascinating exhibits on its history and significance, offering valuable insights into feudal Japan.
But the beauty doesn't end there! After exploring the castle, you can check out nearby attractions like the Hirosaki Park, where you can enjoy scenic walks amidst cherry blossoms and lush greenery. 🌳 Or visit the Hirosaki Castle Botanical Garden, home to a diverse collection of flowers and plants from around the world. 🌼 Don't forget to try some local delicacies like Hirosaki apples and Tsugaru cider for a taste of Aomori's culinary delights! 🍎🍻

Cherry Blossoms at Hirosaki Castle
#2024wish
Hirosaki castle is located in Hirosaki Park. It’s smaller than I imagined before getting there. But there is an abundant of exhibits for you to learn about the history of Hirosaki, the reason why and how the locals moved the castle from one to another site within Hirosaki park.The exhibits are in Japanese, English and Chinese. There is also an aminated video. Everything is easy to understand.
I want to visit another park in this area this 2024.

Hirosaki Castle!!
Hirosaki castle!! Just the right to be in hirosaki for Sakura full blooming. Hirosaki festival plan to start on 22-30 April , but due to early bloom , they start early and I just arrived to hirosaki that day . I was amazed with how beautiful those beautiful cherry were . Many of cherry trees together in one place make it Soo beautiful!! And I thought , the whole world came down to hirosaki to enjoy hanami . And make it easy for those who want to go to that park, they arrange shuttle bus with 100¥ each form hirosaki station platform 1. And they arranged plenty of buses , so that don’t even need to wait . And hirosaki park was Soo huge until all the people doesn’t seem to be too crowded. And make sure you look out for heart ❤️ shape near the exit gate before you get off . And try to go behind the castle and enjoy the beauty of mount Iwaki ( asymmetrical shape a bit , but a little seem to be like Mount Fuji,so local people called Aomori Fuji . Make sure don’t miss hirosaki for your next Sakura season. See you all on the other side of the world 🌎!!

Hoshino Resorts Aomoriya Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Apple themed Onsen
#freehotelstay
#japan
#aomori
This is the Hoshino Resorts Aomoriya hotel located in Misawa, Aomori Prefecture. It is a 15 minutes walk from Misawa Station, alternatively, they also provide free shuttle services from Misawa Station and Misawa Airport. It is like a mini themed park that displays the rural culture of Aomori in northern Japan. Horse-drawn carriages ride down roads past traditional Japanese homes, while elements of local festivals and crafts add color and flair to the premises. The ONSEN with the garden view is so calming. There is a large park/garden at the back for you to stroll around and you can find a foot bath over there. Their rooms were large and comfortable. They even have apple auctions, where you can get apples at low prices and also get to experience real life auction scenarios. It was so funny! The stay was just perfect and full of experiences. They also provide free FRESH apple juice at certain timings.

Oirase Gorge Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Calming Greenery
This is the Oirase Keiryu located near Towada Lake, Aomori prefecture. There are buses that takes approximately three hours to reach from Aomori city. The stream flows along the floor of the Oirase Gorge, winding among the lush trees. It is Famous for the autumn view when the leaves turn red~ There are over a dozen waterfalls along the stream. It is said that the hiking trail is easy to follow. However, I did not try as we had driven there~ I loved how fresh the air was and it’s really lovely to be surrounded by nature 👍🏼

The hidden gem orirase 🇯🇵🍃
#timetotravel
The Oirase Gorge is one of the most beautiful river valleys in Japan, with vibrant and fast flowing water. The gorge extends over 14 km from the contrastively calm Lake Towada. The Oirase Gorge shows its beauty in different ways throughout the four seasons. However, the gorge is mostly known for its spectacular autumn foliage in the fall season.
The Oirase Gorge has an enchanting atmosphere with many waterfalls and thick woods. Starting in October, the leaves of the trees begin to change to vibrant red and yellow, adding to the already vivid green of the moss on the rocks, adding colors to a magnificent sight. The autumn colors peak every year around the end of October to the beginning of November. Visitors can hike around the gorge on the hiking trail. The gorge is a National Special Place of Scenic Beauty and National Natural Monument.

Trekking thru Oirase Stream to Lake Towada
Took the JR bus from Hachinohe station down to Oirase Keiryukan and started my walk from there. be aware of the weather bcos apparently it had been raining for 2 full weeks the week before I went!
The walk is very scenic and there will be opportunities to go down to the river and have a feel of the water. At other parts of the stream, you will just be in awe of the rapids flowing through.
The walk was relatively easy as there is a significant portion along the road and others which are trails. A solid 8/10 for this location 👍🏼

The Aojinyu Stream in Aomori Prefecture, Hokkaido, Japan, is known as the first place in the Northeast. The clear and beautiful stream flows slowly and is surrounded by virgin forests. Walking along the creek, walking under the vast trees, breathing fresh and humid air, all kinds of large and small waterfalls can be seen everywhere, as well as the mossy and vine-wrapped rocks floating on the water.
When I went, it was summer. In fact, the autumn of the Oyster River is a resort for red leaves. Imagine how beautiful it will be, and there will be a chance to come again in the fall.
Arrival: In front of JR Aomori Station or JR Shin-Aomori Station, take the JR bus "Lake" No. 2, and get off at about 120 minutes.

The art of Nebuta
#helloautumn
#localescapes
The Nebuta Warasse museum attempts to capture the spirit of the festival and gives visitors a taste of its lively atmosphere, history and traditions. Upon entering the second floor entrance to the exhibitions, visitors are presented with the sights of the festival along a red corridor lined with images from the Nebuta Matsuri's 300 year history. Lanterns in the shape of red goldfish, another symbol of the festival, hang along the corridor where the recorded sounds of taiko drums, flutes, and voices play.

The Warasse Nebuta House is close to the station. The second floor is an exhibition hall, and regional specialties are sold on the first floor. The large lantern picture used for the opening of Nebuta Festival is based on fairy tales. Some parts look like hands or ocean spray, giving visitors an insight into the components. It's very interesting. Regular activities are also held here, but if you miss them, never mind - the exhibit is great in its own right!

Exploring nebuta museum 👹👺
#timetotravel
The concept for Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse was part of the "Basic Plan for the Rejuvenation of the Aomori Station area" in 2004. The plan was devised to keep tourism and businesses present in central Aomori after the 2010 opening of the Tōhoku Shinkansen and Shin-Aomori Station that would supplant the Tōhoku Main Line and Aomori Station, leading to a potential shift in commuter traffic away from the city's central district.[1] The plan called for a public cultural facility near Aomori Station that focused on the Aomori Nebuta Matsuri summer festival that takes place annually on the waterfront of Aomori Bay.

Hoshino Resorts Kai Tsugaru Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
In the cool virgin forest, a few glimpses of the candlelight, a secluded light, quietly admire the handsome bartender magically transformed into a high-profile Aomori cocktail. Such a scene, it is really not drunk, everyone is drunk. Hotel Name]: Hoshino Group / Tsugaru
[Hotel Address]: Japan's Aomori Prefecture, Nanjin-gun, Ogami-machi, the crocodile word on the peony forest 36-1
[Address]: 36 -1 Aza-Kamibotanmori

The most memorable meal at the Jiejin Hotel is the Kaiseki cuisine. Kaiseki cuisine focuses on the freshness of the ingredients, which are usually made after ordering. Raw beef and fillets are well spent on the parts and freshness of the ingredients. The tenderness of the beef is particularly delicious in the winter warm pot. Eating kaiseki cuisine is a very ceremonial thing, and it takes a long time to use it, but this process has brought the Japanese food craftsmanship to the fullest.

The predator hot spring is considered to be the best hot spring in Aomori Prefecture. The Emperor of the Edo period came to the spa to cure the eye disease, and then became famous. It has been 800 years old. The most popular hot spring hotel in the hot spring town of Dazu is the XingyejieTianjin.
Exquisite Japanese courtyard, surrounded by trees, intimate and quiet, blending in between the mountains. The single-family home is super comfortable, looking out from the window during the day, green. The courtyard outside is very refreshing.
Hoshino-ku, Tsugaru's hot spring water is a sulphate hot spring, and the water quality is excellent. Tangchi is made of cypress wood that is more than two thousand years old. They even put the most proud apples in the soup pond, the fresh apple soup, and the steam from the hot springs. The whole bath is filled with a touch of fragrance.
