Stroll through Hirosaki Castle and vast green park, a signature spot representing Aomori
About this spot
Hirosaki Park, centering on Hirosaki Castle, a renowned castle representing the Tohoku region, is known nationwide as a cherry blossom viewing spot in spring, but the landscape enveloped in deep summer greenery is also refreshing and worth visiting. The castle tower, which has existed since the Edo period, is one of the few remaining original castle towers in the Tohoku region, and you can experience Tsugaru history while touring its interior. The moats and stone walls flowing through the vast park and shaded walking paths provide cool spaces that ease the summer heat. Before tonight's fireworks festival, take your time to enjoy this historically significant landscape that represents Aomori.

Tips
荒天時の開催可否は藤崎町の公式発表で事前に確認してください。終了後は帰りの車や交通機関が混み合うため、フィナーレ後は少し余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめです。足元が暗くなるため小さなライトを用意し、帰り道は安全に移動しましょう。翌日が平日のため、子どもの就寝時間も考慮した帰路の計画を事前に立てておくと安心です。
