Hirosaki Park, Aomori Prefecture

#cherryblossom25 Hirosaki Park is one of Japan’s top cherry blossom spots, famous for its breathtaking views of Hirosaki Castle surrounded by 2,500 sakura trees. The park’s most iconic sight is the castle’s reflection in the petal-covered moats, creating a dreamy pink carpet effect. The annual cherry blossom festival features food stalls, boat rentals, and nighttime illuminations, making it a lively and festive experience. Since Aomori’s sakura bloom later than in central Japan, it’s a great destination for travelers looking to extend their hanami season. Whether day or night, Hirosaki Park offers an unforgettable cherry blossom spectacle.
