At present, the Yoshino cherry blossom blizzards and flower baskets that have begun to fall are in full bloom at Hirosaki Park.

The garden has 2,600 cherry blossoms in a garden of about 492,000 square meters, which is equivalent to more than 10 Tokyo Domes. Due to the application of apple pruning technology and management by a tree doctor, the number of flowers that bloom from one flower bud is as large as 4 to 5.

There are various spots for the cherry blossoms that bloom in the park, where the castle tower, castle gate, and moat remain as historic sites. In addition to being able to enjoy the flower rafts even after they have fallen, some of the 52 varieties of cherry blossoms that bloom in the park are late-blooming varieties, and some cherry blossom viewers are looking for cherry blossoms other than Somei Yoshino.

This year, in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, there are requests such as filling in contact information at the time of admission, temperature measurement, disinfection, left-hand traffic and "refrain from shooting with a tripod", and at the photo spot, use a camera or smartphone. There was a person who took a picture by fixing it to a fence.

A woman in her twenties living in Hirosaki City said, "Last year, Hirosaki Park was closed and I couldn't even go to the surrounding area, but this year I could see the cherry blossoms and flower rafts in the park, and I felt the mood that spring had come. I'm glad I was there. "

This year, Thailand is the second largest in the history of observation, and the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival will be held from April 17 as a quasi-Sakura Festival system. The Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival started on April 23, but no ceremonies were held and events in the park were canceled.

The Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival is open until May 5th.
