Hirosaki Park (Shimohiragin-cho, Hirosaki City) will open the Uchibori Reclaimed Land facing the Hirosaki Castle Tower to the public free of charge on April 23, during the "Hirosaki Sakura Festival".

Uchibori landfill for stone wall repair began in December last year and was completed on March 20, this year. Gravel etc. were laid in an area of about 200 meters square and handrails were also provided. Katsu Furukawa of the park's green space section said, "Initially it was a landfill as a scaffolding for construction, but we planned to open it to the public so that Hirosaki Castle, which is an important cultural property of the country, can be more familiar with it. I want you to see Hirosaki Castle, Ishigaki, and Japan's best cherry blossoms from an angle. "

It was pointed out that there was a danger of collapse due to the occurrence of "harami" on the stone wall on the east side of the castle tower, where the castle tower of Hirosaki Castle is located. In 2008, the city formed the Hirosaki Castle Ruins Honmaru Ishigaki Repair Committee, which plans to repair about 100 meters on the east side and about 10 meters on the south side. In the same repair, it was decided that the castle tower consisting of three layers with a total weight of about 400 tons will be pulled to 70 meters northwest in August this year.

According to Mr. Furukawa, there are many inquiries from inside and outside the prefecture that the department is currently holding, "Is it free of charge?" It seems to be there. "

Uchibori opening time is from 7:00 to 21:00. Until May 6th.
