If I tell you, The first thing I saw was a sea of ​​cherry blossoms. I was so moved that tears welled up in my eyes. Do you think I'm exaggerating? 😆 Maybe you are not as emotional as I am. But when you are in this pink world, Standing on the bridge and looking at the sea of ​​flowers on both sides, Even the local Japanese were amazed by the scenery. This is Hirosaki Park in Aomori Prefecture, Japan. There are no direct flights from Hong Kong to Aomori. I went to Tokyo and then transferred there. To see this magnificent view, To give you some historical background, Hirosaki Park is a large park located in the center of Hirosaki City. There are two thousand cherry trees planted in the park, and it is known as "Japan's No. 1 Cherry Blossom Festival". Hirosaki Castle has a history of 400 years. It was a city in Japan at that time and is now listed as a national monument of Japan. The remains of the city, including the towers, city gates, moat, stone walls, and earthen ramparts, are almost all preserved in their original state. Many important cultural heritages are preserved here, which are very precious. The castle tower was originally a five-story building, but it was destroyed by lightning and burned down. It was not until 200 years later during the Edo period that it was restored to its current three-story appearance. I was very lucky that year to catch the cherry blossoms in full bloom, which was also the local cherry blossom festival. Many Japanese people would have picnics in the park to enjoy the cherry blossoms, or rent a boat and paddle on the river to appreciate the beauty of the cherry blossoms from another angle. Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade. What trees can we plant today that future generations will admire? #Spring Cherry Blossom Viewing #Aomori, Japan #JapanTravel #Japanese cherry blossoms

There are many powder snow paradise in Japan, but there are two mountain peaks that have been the sacred places of many skiers. One is the Asahi Snow Mountain in Hokkaido, and the other is today's protagonist, the Hakkoda Mountain in Aomori Prefecture. Skiing in Hakkoda is the real skiing, outdoor equipment must be equipped with high quality products, ski suits should be warm and comfortable, skiing and skiing shoes should be properly adjusted, ski goggles and anti-fog functions must be all and easy to use. Ski cap gloves... To go to Hakkoda skiing, in fact, you must be mentally prepared first, which is very different from the domestic ski trails. Bajiatian Mountain is rich in snowfall, and the smog scenery is self-evident. Wear the equipment and enter the junior ski slopes. The slope and height are completely beyond the expected, but the feeling of falling on the real snow is particularly cool! Many people are no strangers to the name of Hakkoda, not because of skiing, but because of the death of the marching army in Hachimanda 100 years ago. In response to the extremely cold march exercise conducted by the Japanese-Russian War in Hachimanda, 199 Japanese soldiers were frozen to death. This is the most tragic event in the history of the Japanese Army. In the 1980s, it was remake into the movie "Baoba Tianshan" starring Takakura Ken, which also reflects Bakota. How terrible is the winter in the mountains. The wild snow that slipped once in Hakkoda has also become the favorite of all the world's most adventurous skiers.

#cherryblossom25 Hirosaki Park at night during cherry blossom season is honestly straight-up magical. The park is famous for its sakura, and when the sun goes down, the whole place lights up, literally. Lanterns glow along the paths, the cherry trees are lit from below, and the petals look like they’re glowing in the dark. You can walk around the moat and see the reflection of the blossoms and Hirosaki Castle in the water, which feels like something out of a movie. It’s romantic, peaceful, and kind of surreal in the best way. There’s also food stalls open late, so you can grab some festival snacks while you wander. It’s not overly loud or crowded either, just a super chill way to experience the blossoms in a different light. If you want a more magical, less typical hanami vibe, Hirosaki Park at night totally delivers. Don’t miss it.

The park surrounds a lake, which makes the whole blossom-viewing experience feel extra dreamy. pink petals reflecting on the water is just next-level pretty. There are hundreds of cherry trees here, so when they’re in full bloom, it’s like walking through a soft pink tunnel. The vibe is super relaxed, with people picnicking, strolling, or just chilling under the trees. You can even rent a boat and float around while soaking in the views. It’s way less crowded than Tokyo hotspots, which is a huge win if you're looking for a more laid-back hanami day. Whether you're with friends, on a date, or just flying solo, Ashino Park is the kind of place that makes you wanna slow down and enjoy spring the way it’s meant to be.

Heading to Aomori by Shinkansen. I went there in winter, so when I looked outside I could see the snowy scenery. As soon as I arrived, I could taste Aomori. When you think of Aomori, you think of "Nebuta" and "apples." There were many things decorated with Nebuta and apple motifs on the premises. 🍎 There was also a souvenir shop, and the standard apple juice is heavy to carry around, so I thought it would be nice to buy some here on my way home. 🍎 The souvenir shop seems to be open from 9:00-17:00! #0yentravel #Aomori #Shin-AomoriStation #Nebuta #Aomoritourism

📍Aomori Prefecture The Hirosaki Neputa Festival is a national important intangible folk cultural asset. With live music, real lanterns, and souvenirs, it's a must-see tourist spot when you come to Aomori. I highly recommend this place, so I'll introduce it with photos. [About the origin] The famous Neputa Festival in Aomori Prefecture The origin of Neputa came from a farming event called "Nemuri Nagashi" to wash away sleepiness and laziness. The name "Neputa Festival" comes from "neputa" in Aomori dialect, which means "sleepy." [What you can see] ⚫︎Life-size lanterns The large lanterns, about 10 meters long, are impressive enough to look up at. ⚫︎Live shamisen performance The speed of the finger movements and the strength of the sound were impressive, which can only be conveyed live. ⚫︎Explanation of the origins of Neputa and the shamisen There was also an English explanation, and people from overseas responded well. The explanations are easy to understand and don't take long, so even small children should be able to follow along. I definitely recommend listening to them when you visit. #Aomori #HirosakiTourism #DomesticTravel #Spring0YenTrip
