At the Hirosaki Park, which is currently held at the Hirosaki Sakura Festival (Shimohiragin-cho, Hirosaki City), on April 30, the scenery of "Hanakada" with cherry blossom petals floating on the water was in full bloom.

The scenery was introduced on Facebook as "I want to go by the time I die! A superb view of the world" and got over 700,000 "likes".

In Hirosaki City, the water flow in the outer moat was stopped to produce a flower raft. Starting this year, the three banks of the outer moat will be opened as photography spots, and the sight of the spectators shooting with cameras and smartphones will be lively.

The cherry blossoms in Sotobori, which were in full bloom on April 25, began to scatter from the same day, and petals began to float on the surface of the water. On the 30th, it was impossible to form a single flower raft due to the strong wind, but in the evening the wind stopped and a single flower raft was being formed on the outer moat.

A man in his 40s who visits Hirosaki's cherry blossoms every year from Tokyo said, “The flower raft can only be seen at Hirosaki Park. At the new photography spot made this year, the cherry blossoms still in bloom are closer to the flower raft. I'm happy to be able to shoot at the same time."

Hirosaki Sakura Festival is until May 7th.
