On April 27, the producer of "I want to go before I die! A superb view of the world," which introduced the "flower raft" in Hirosaki Park, visited Hirosaki Park and watched the cherry blossoms.

After graduating from university, Shiho got a job at an internet advertising agency. He was given the task of competing with his colleagues for the number of “likes” on the Facebook page in the new employee training, and launched “I want to go before I die! A superb view of the world”. Mr. Shiho, who loved to travel, started from the idea that "I want to list the places I want to go before I die", and it becomes a popular page that collects 20,000 "Like" in 2 months. In 2013, he published a book of the same name, and in 2014, he was nominated for the “superb view” at the buzzword award, and became a hot topic.

The garden's "Flower Raft" was introduced as "Pink Tatami" on April 3, 2014, and received more than 40,000 "likes" and a share of more than 2000 times.

This is the first visit to Hirosaki this time. We walked around the park under the guidance of Mr. Katsura Kobayashi, who is in charge of "Sakuramori" who manages the cherry blossoms in the park, and saw the "Flower Raft" and cherry blossoms from the inner moat. “There are things that I can't feel unless I actually go. The flower raft is not a single pink color, it has a gradation, and the petals move in response to the movement of the wind. There was. "

After the walk, I paid a courtesy call to Noriyuki Kasai and Mayor Hirosaki at Hirosaki City Hall (Kamishirogincho, Hirosaki City). "It was a shame that we couldn't see the cherry blossoms in full bloom this year, so I want to see them in full bloom next year," says Shiho. "It's good that not only tourists but also locals enjoy the cherry blossoms," he said. Mayor Kasai said, "I would be happy if we could continue to convey the charm of Hirosaki's cherry blossoms."
