National Scenic Spot—A Japanese Stroll Garden with Striking Japanese-Western Fusion Architecture

About this spot

A Japanese stroll garden designated as a National Historic Place, Seibi Garden epitomizes Tsugaru's refined landscape aesthetics. Seibi Hall within the garden showcases a rare architectural blend: purely Japanese on the first floor, Western-style balcony on the second. The distinctive pairing of architecture and meticulously maintained pond-centered garden creates unique charm. A leisurely walk through the landscaped grounds offers glimpses of Tsugaru's rich culture of wealthy agricultural heritage.

Season & hours

Name: 平川ねぷたまつり

Date & time: 8/2 (Sun)–8/3 (Mon) 19:00–

Venue: 平川市・デイリーヤマザキ平川店付近〜平賀駅前

2026年は8月2日から3日まで開催される、平川市の夏を彩るねぷたまつりです。平賀駅前からデイリーヤマザキ平川店付近にかけて、地元の町内会や子ども会が手がけたねぷたが笛や太鼓のお囃子に合わせてゆっくりと練り歩きます。弘前や五所川原のような大規模な祭りとは違い、顔なじみの参加者と観客が一体となる距離の近さが魅力で、津軽の小さな町に受け継がれてきた夏祭りの温かさをじっくり味わえます。

Tips

会場周辺は住宅街に近いため、見物の際は近隣への配慮を忘れずに。駐車場が限られることがあるので、公共交通機関や近隣の駐車スペースを事前に確認しておくと安心です。
