Hirosaki Park
Hirosaki Castle, on which construction began in 1603, is a rare and precious architectural structure in Japan that can still be seen today. Visitors can enjoy Japan's four seasons in this park, including the Cherry Blossom Festival in spring, the Chrysanthemum and Autumn Foliage Festival in fall, and the Snow Lantern Festival in winter.
