Hirosaki

Hirosaki stretches from the Iwaki River to the foothills of Mount Iwaki, encompassing the broad Tsugaru Plain and wooded western slopes. This city in Aomori Prefecture developed as a castle town, and Hirosaki Castle remains its defining historic landmark within Hirosaki Park. The park is nationally known for its spring cherry blossoms, while the surrounding plain supports extensive apple cultivation. Local identity is also closely tied to Tsugaru shamisen, the vigorous regional style of three-string music.
