Cherry Blossom Wonderland: A Cherry Blossom Viewing Tour in Hirosaki Park, where the gorgeous sea of ​​flowers intoxicates visitors

#Sakura2024 📸If I can only choose one cherry blossom viewing spot, I would definitely choose: Aomori Hirosaki. The reason why Hirosaki's cherry blossoms are so beautiful and in clusters is that they use apple-like pruning techniques, which results in more flower buds and the weight of the flowers causes the branches to droop, creating a stunning sight. 💕Hirosaki Park is mostly surrounded by a moat, with more than 2,600 cherry trees planted in the park. On the first day, I saw the cherry blossoms against the backdrop of the river in the rain. When I came back on the third day, I saw a "flower raft" with petals floating in the water and a "cherry carpet" with petals gathering in the water and completely covering the river. 🌸 Saishoin Saisho-in Temple was built in 1532, construction began in 1556 and was completed in 1667. The five-story pagoda is 31.2 meters high and is known as the most beautiful five-story pagoda in the Tohoku region. There are not many tourists here and it is quite quiet. A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it cherry blossoms and snow, which was very dreamy. 🌸 Hirosaki Tenmangu Shrine It's a very quiet place. If it weren't for the cherry blossom season, few people would come here. There are no bustling tourists in front of the blooming cherry blossoms. The drooping branches almost cover the road. It is gorgeous and lonely, creating a very special atmosphere. Here is also the oldest cherry tree in Aomori Prefecture. This weeping cherry tree is said to be seven or eight hundred years old, and the circumference of the trunk is nine meters. 🌸 Hirosaki City Hall Continue walking towards Hirosaki Park, and suddenly a pink-white area appears in front of you, as if a city wall extends on both sides. Then you know you have arrived at Hirosaki Park. When you get here, don't rush into the park, because there is a limited-time cherry blossom viewing spot nearby. During the cherry blossom season, the rooftop platform of Hirosaki City Hall on the south side of Hirosaki Castle will be open to the public. From here, you can see the cherry blossom forest from a high altitude, which looks like pink clouds in the distance. 🌸 Hirosaki Castle When the weather is good, you can see Mt. Iwaki in the distance from the observation deck. During the cherry blossom season, you can enjoy the scenery of cherry blossoms, Hirosaki Castle and Mt. Iwaki in the same frame. Here is Japan's oldest Somei Yoshino, which is more than 130 years old. 🌸 Flower Raft Hirosaki Park is mostly surrounded by a moat, and there are more than 2,600 cherry trees planted in the park. On the first day, I saw the cherry blossoms against the backdrop of the river in the rain. When I came back on the third day, I saw a "flower raft" with petals floating in the water and a "cherry carpet" with petals gathering in the water and completely covering the river. We walked and stopped along the moat, and every time the wind blew and the petals fell, there were exclamations from all around. 🌸 Sightseeing boat in Zhonghao The drooping branches of the cherry trees on both sides swayed in the wind. The river surface was close at hand, and there were flower rafts all around. You could touch the petals with your fingertips. This moment was so unforgettable. 🌸 Xihao Night Cherry Blossoms There is a cherry blossom tunnel along Xihao. The branches on both sides cover the sky, and the cherry blossoms make it dreamy and romantic. There weren't many tourists when we walked to Chunyang Bridge during the day, and the clusters of cherry blossoms and their reflections in the river formed a perfect pattern. The beauty at night is different. The water and the sky are one color, it is breathtaking, mysterious and magical, as if it has escaped the constraints of time and space. Considering that this kind of scene can only be seen a few days a year, those who see it are lucky.
