The Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival 🌸🥹

We’ve been dreaming of going to a cherry blossom festival in Japan for years so we were so excited to visit this spring 😍 Cherry blossom season, known as Sakura, typically begins in late March and extends into early April and even into may depending on how South or North you are 🌸

We were not arriving till late April so we went north to the beautiful town of Hirosaki in the Aomori Prefecture 🇯🇵

Here are some highlights of this festival 👇🏼

• About 2,600 Cherry Trees 🤯
• Mt. Iwaki and the Hirosaki Castle backdrop 🏯🏔️
• Over 100 food stalls with traditional foods and snacks 😋
• Guided and Unguided boat tours under the blossoms🚣
• Free enter into the park (540 yen to enter the castle grounds, botanical gardens, & memorial garden) 🌸

Is visiting Sakura on your bucket list? 😍
