Hirosaki Park

My friend brought me here not knowing what beauty lies ahead. The long distance travel from Chiba is worth it. It didn’t disappoint. Not much tourists, the place is magical with autumn leaves and so serene. The park is huge and with plenty of beautiful spots. Must visit when you have plenty of time in Japan.

This is the completely walkable park area surrounding Hirosaki Castle. Filled with Cherry Blossom Trees and extremely beautiful no matter whether it’s morning, night, Summer, Autumn, Winter or Spring. Current winter weather means traversing through knee high snow but don’t let that turn you away from visiting this beautiful park and castle area.

One of the most beautiful parks I've ever visited. You can enjoy two different views in day and at night.

Amazing, lush, serene and picturesque garden. There is a lotus pond, part of the moat surrounding the Hirosaki castle, which is absolutely breathtaking.
The botanical garden is the best part of the garden with various plants, trees, koi pond and a murder of Crows...

The place is quite spacious,clean,and free..
The cherry blossoms are beautiful..
They have several types of cherry blossoms and also tulips..
However,when I visited,some buildings were under construction..
Overall,I was satisfied with the experience of seeing the beautiful cherry blossoms..

Very beautiful and recommended people a must see park when the cherry blossoms are in bloom during April like me. The trees are full and magnificent. Love it!!!!!

A few ancient trees of historical importance & a white castle which was closed during the winter months.

Visited Hirosaki Park twice, once in the evening and again in the early morning. Sadly, missed the sakura bloom by two weeks, but the park was still picturesque and beautiful. Impeccably clean and super family-friendly, it's a great place to connect with nature. Enjoyed delicious grilled chicken skewers from a kiosk, adding to the park's amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit!

Beautiful park full of cherry blossoms and a traditional Japanese castle. Visited on 14-April-23 and it was nice and blooming.

Beautiful cherry blossom that blooms in mid/late April in Hirosaki. Rent a boat to row along the river with sakura along both sides for 1000 yen. Worth the price imo. No picnic allowed as of April 2023 due to COVID. Heard that people used to picnic along the river before covid.

A lovely park centred in the old castle defences of Hirosaki castle. Plenty of scenic views of the castle and of the surrounding area, including a view of Iwaki-san from the castle keep.

I visited in February and was able to see the kamakura left from the snow festival the weekend before - definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area at the time.

Magnificent view from the Hirosaki castle where is surrounding with variety cherry blossom trees. It’s worth to visit in late April when full blooming is happened.

Sakura matsuri started while the blooms were falling off as the sakura bloomed early this year. Plenty of food from the large matsuri.

One of the best places to go for Cherry blossom season 🌸

I suggest if you have kids just keep a close eye on them and be aware of where your walking.

Start early, have a lot of water, a backpack, and have some comfortable walking shoes.

One of the beautiful sites to see if you go at the right time. Just make sure to mark it on your calendar. It's only a week limited time each year.

If you go north Japan. Make sure to see this place.

Awesome big park with lots of walking trails trees and ponds as well as toilet facilities and information signs and maps. Very picturesque with the castle gates and towers interspersed among the trees. Great place to go for a walk or to have lunch or a picnic in the sun. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area.

Gorgeous cherry blossoms, food vendors, and cheap. Park nearby and walk in. Shouldn't pay more than 1000yen for the day in parking. Guard tower tour was fun to explore, note there are really steep stairs and no handicap access. Boats to rent in the outer moat and very english friendly.

I have been to Hirosaki park in summer and now in Spring. Unfortunately Sakura is almost gone only Shidarezakura remain . I heard it is the must see scenery before you die so I will come to visit again in Sakura season .

Beautiful castle park, no matter which season you go to visit. This time I visited during the spring sakura festival. Being the most popular festival and the trees usually reaching full bloom at the beginning of Golden Week, it was really crowded, but worth the trip!

Went on Cherry Blossom period, very nice view on both late Evening and Afternoon (yes I went twice on different time just to catch the different moment), less people as compared to Tokyo during Cherry Blossom period, at least I can find a seat on bench easily. And I personally feel Cherry Blossom in Aomori is better than Tokyo as well, different species I guess?

正午和旁晚都相当值得一去，整体来说比东京的樱花漂亮，关键是游客也少大概一百倍吧

This is one of the most beautiful parks I have ever been to, and it is one of the best locations to go see cherry blossoms

I visited Hirosaki towards the end of April, and got really lucky with the timing. Cherry blossoms were beautiful layed out on the trees, ground and they even created a mattress on top of water, creating a truly unique view

In the park you can visit a castle, botanical garden and at least during cherry blossoms season, many stalls with various kinds of faire food on offer

It is the perfect place for you to visit with your significant other or family, or if you are interested in photography, because great photos are pretty much guaranteed

I couldn't recommend it more
