On September 8th around Hirosaki City, photos of the sunset and Mt. Iwaki were posted on SNS one after another, which became a hot topic.

Mt. Iwaki, called Tsugaru Fuji, is located west of the Tsugaru region centered around the city, so it is often seen in the autumn when the setting sun sets over Mt. The city set at 17:58 on the same day. From around 17:30, the sky turned red, and posts with photos such as “It's a wonderful sunset!” “It's burning red is amazing” (text by Mama) made Twitter and Facebook lively.

Riki Narita, who belongs to the group "TSUGARU PHOTO MEETING", who enjoys photography as an amateur, was trying to shoot Mt. Iwaki at the same time from the observation plaza of Shigabo Forest Park (Hirokawa City Hirofune). "I have seen many beautiful sunsets and Mt. Iwaki until now, but yesterday is the most spectacular I have ever seen. I was deeply moved by the sight of the mountains, the city, and the sky dyed in red," he recalls with excitement.

According to Junichi Nagao, a weather forecaster for the local community FM station "Apple Wave", "If there are thick clouds near the setting sun, it tends to become dark red or purple. It can be said that it is a sign of a slope. " The weather on the 9th was rainy throughout Tsugaru.
