    On April 28th, at the Hirosaki Park (Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture), the scenery of "Hanakada" was in full bloom, and it was crowded with many cherry blossom visitors.

    The cherry blossoms in Hirosaki Park are said to be one of the three major attractions in Japan, and they are in full bloom from late April to early May. About 2,600 cherry trees in 52 species bloom in the park. It was the second day of Golden Week and was blessed with fine weather. Since it became warmer than 10 degrees, many cherry-blossom visitors had been visiting since early morning.

    The flower raft is a seasonal word that resembles the appearance of scattered cherry petals floating on the water surface. In addition to the castle tower and castle gate of the Hirosaki Castle, there is a moat surrounding the park, and scattered petals of cherry blossoms can easily accumulate in the park. The scenery is compared to "carpets of cherry blossoms" and "tatami mats of cherry blossoms," for example, and it is said that some tourists come from inside and outside of Japan to see the flower raft, "because it is beautiful even if it scatters."

    The location where the flower raft can be formed differs depending on the direction of the wind and how it scatters, so the spectators are happy to see the petals accumulating while holding the camera and mobile phone and seeing the duck swimming in the flower raft from time to time. There was a figure.

    According to the flowering situation announced by Hirosaki City Park and Greenery Division at 11 o'clock on the 28th, the outer moat was 4 scattered and the park started to scatter. The cherry blossom tunnel on the east coast of Nishibori is in full bloom, and the best time to see the Hanafubuki/Raft is 30 days.

    Hirosaki Sakura Festival is until May 6th.
