Hirosaki Park is where Hirosaki Castle, one of only twelve original castles remaining in the country, is located. The castle grounds contain approximately 2600 trees. It's one of the best places in the region to see cherry blossoms. The Cherry Blossom Festival, held from the end of April through early May, is considered to be the best in the nation.
