Hirosaki Park: A Leisurely Stroll Through the Castle Town with Castles and Neputa Floats
A leisurely one-day course exploring Hirosaki (弘前), a castle town of 100,000 koku of the Tsugaru clan, centered around castles and neputa floats. First, experience the powerful neputa floats and live shamisen performances at Tsugaru Clan Neputa Village, then leisurely explore Hirosaki Park (弘前公園), home to the only existing castle tower remaining in Tōhoku. In the afternoon, travel through time visiting the Meiji-era Western-style former Hirosaki City Library and Fujita Memorial Garden with Mt. Iwaki as its borrowed scenery, concluding with the majestic Saishōin Five-Storied Pagoda, praised as "the most beautiful tower in Tōhoku." The course is centered on flat paths with many rest spots, making it perfect for three-generation families with grandparents, allowing you to enjoy it at your own pace.
