Immense Cherry Blossom World

#cherryblossom2024 Such a different cherry blossom Since the end of April and the beginning of May, Hirosaki City Park in Aomori Prefecture has become one of the best places in Japan where sakura blooms. Large picturesque trees provide the park with a place in the list of the most popular places for hanami — the traditional admiring of spring flowers.

At Hirosaki Train Station, take the bus to Shiyakusho-mae Stop (15 minutes) or take a walk to the park (about half an hour). Pink splendor In spring, Hirosaki Park becomes a huge pink sea: more than 2,600 sakura trees bloom here, some older than 300 years. There are more than fifty varieties of cherries, including the most famous variety somei Yoshino, "weeping" sidare-dzakura and "double" yae-dzakura.

#2024wish i wish to go Hirosaki park Aomori Japan again on Nov2024. That is a most beautiful autumn scene in Japan.

Summer Festival ~ Japan's Tohoku Hirosaki Bodhisattva Festival This is one of the four major festivals of Hirosaki, with "Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival", "Hirosaki City Chrysanthemum and Red Leaf Festival", "Hirosaki City Snow Lantern Festival" Known for juxtaposition. Nearly 100 gorgeous lanterns with the theme of samurai paintings such as the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin, are carried by the local citizens in the streets and lanes, and the summertime is very lively. Look at these lanterns, the painters are very sophisticated, and each piece is a gorgeous piece of art. With the accompaniment of the flute and the Taiko, the crowds watching on both sides shouted slogans and interacted together. The scene was very exciting. As a media shooter, I was fortunate enough to receive a local invitation to participate in the ceremony, which is generally not to be experienced. Take the Taiko drum to pull the lantern and leave too many good memories for yourself. Tips~2019, this festival starts from August 5th to 6th and starts at the station line Central Avenue (near Hirosaki Post Office) Hirosaki Station Omachi Ueda The order of the town is around.

The Hirosaki Sleeping Magic Lantern Festival will be held for one week each year from August 1st to 7th. The shape of the sleeping demon in different places in Aomori is different. In Hirosaki, it is a fan-shaped sleeping demon. It is said that because the priest is the fan of the letter, the lanterns are mostly fan-shaped, and the three kingdoms of the Chinese dynasties are painted on the surface of the lantern. The legend of the otter heroes and the Japanese samurai, the back is a beautiful portrait, the characters are vivid and the colors are quite vivid, and each work is accompanied by a detailed introduction of the author.
