The final examination of the "32nd Hirosaki Castle Miss Sakura Contest" was held on April 10 at the Hirosaki Cultural Center (Shimohiragincho, Hirosaki City).

As a tourist ambassador, the contest focuses on four major festivals such as the "Hirosaki Sakura Festival" and the "Neputa Festival," and decides mistakes to send information to and from the prefecture for one year. For the 14 people who passed the first screening, 5 members of the committee, including Mayor Noriyuki Kasai as the chairman of the screening, conducted the screening.

At the judging, each participant was given a PR time of about 1 minute, and there were participants who showed the dance that they were showing on the net and publicized their experience working as a nurse.

Mr. Moemi Yoneya from Hachinohe was selected as the Miss Sakura Grand Prix. Entered a university in Hokkaido and got a job at a company in Aomori. I was assigned to Hirosaki, and moved last year. “At the time of the judging, my head became blank, and I didn't know what I was talking about,” says Mr. Yoneya. He said he was happy to be able to respond to the support of the company that recommended him and the parents who came from Hachinohe as a surprise.

Mayuko Kuruma, who was selected as Miss Sakura, is from Hirosaki and is currently a third year student at Hirosaki University. She said she wanted to try it because her mother took the application form home. "I go to see the cherry blossoms in Hirosaki park every year, but I've heard the anecdote that catching scattered petals makes me happy, so I'm holding the petals that are dancing every year," he said with a smile. ..

The second Miss Sakura Haruka Kinoshita is a second-year student at the same university and won the "Miss Hongdae" Grand Prix last year. Born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Hirosaki is in his second year. I thought about the contest last year and decided to apply, but the deadline had already passed, so it was a challenge for more than a year. “I didn't think I would be chosen, so I'm happy,” he smiles.

Regarding acting as a miss cherry blossom for the next year, "Hirosaki's cherry blossoms have various charms such as night cherry blossoms and rafts. I want to publicize them firmly" (Mr. Yoneya), "In my own words firmly I would like to say, "I would like to do my best with the three people" (Mr. Keima), "I would like to publicize to young people using SNS etc." (Mr. Kinoshita).
