In Hirosaki, Japan's largest producer of apples, this park aims to draw citizens and tourists closer to apples. With Mt. Iwaki towering over the park, visitors can try apple production work tasks and harvesting. There are also apple-centric goods for sale, as well as restaurants and the "kimori" cider factory. In May, the Apple Blossom Festival is held.
