A photo of "Hana Raft" at the "Hirosaki Sakura Festival" held at Hirosaki Park (Shimohiragin, Hirosaki City) has been posted on the internet and has become a hot topic.

"Flower raft" refers to watching the falling petals of cherry blossoms float on the water. The "Flower Raft" in Hirosaki Park is spread over the surface of the moat, and there are some voices that make it look like a pink carpet. In April of last year, it was introduced on the Facebook page "I want to go before I die!

In the park, the water of the moat is retained to create a "flower raft." “If the petals turn earthy, we try to drain the water,” says Kobayashi Masaru, of the city's Park and Greenery Division. This year, since the reclaimed Uchibori is open to the public due to the repair of Hirosaki Castle Ishigaki, photos such as "Flower Rafts" of Shimonoji Bridge and Uchibori that cannot be seen normally are often posted. ..

The Hirosaki Sakura Festival is open until May 6th.
