[2025 Goshogawara Attraction] Travel Guide for Ashino Park (Updated Apr)

Even under gloomy skies, the spring charm of Ashino Park remains undiminished. Located in Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture, this expansive park is imbued with a literary aura thanks to its connection to the childhood of renowned author Osamu Dazai. It is also celebrated for its 1,500 cherry trees, which have earned it a spot among Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Viewing Sites. Spanning 80 hectares, the park's pale pink and white blossoms envelop the nostalgic Tsugaru Railway. The moment the train passes through the cherry blossom tunnel, the sound of camera shutters fills the air, creating an iconic scene cherished by travelers. Chasing Cherry Blossoms with the Train Despite the chilly weather, the platform is already crowded with photography enthusiasts armed with tripods, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Tsugaru Railway's "Run! Melos" train as it enters the cherry blossom tunnel. As the train slowly pulls into the station, cherry branches gently brush against its roof, and petals fall like snowflakes. Everyone holds their breath, capturing this fleeting moment of romance. Even outside the cherry blossom season, the Tsugaru Railway attracts visitors with its seasonal themed trains—such as the nostalgic winter stove train, which adds a touch of storytelling to this 20-kilometer railway. Strolling Through the Intersection of Literature and Nature Leaving the bustling station behind, the park itself feels tranquil. A walk along the shores of Lake Ashino reveals literary monuments and statues of Osamu Dazai standing quietly beneath the cherry trees, as if offering a glimpse into the writer's youthful days of play. The lake reflects the weeping cherry blossoms and suspension bridge, while occasional visitors paddle by in small boats, adding a poetic touch to the scene. If time permits, consider visiting the café "Eki-sha," housed in a repurposed old station building. Here, you can savor a local specialty—horse meat curry—while soaking in the timeless atmosphere of the Showa-era wooden interior. Practical Tips and Advice From Hirosaki or Aomori, take the JR line to Goshogawara Station, then transfer to the Tsugaru Railway to reach "Ashino Park Station," a journey of about 20 minutes. During the cherry blossom festival (late April to early May), additional trains are scheduled, so it's advisable to check the timetable in advance. The park offers free parking, making it convenient for those driving. Nearby, you can also visit "Kizukuri Station," known for its giant clay figurine statue and retro station building, both of which are listed among Tohoku's Top 100 Stations, adding an extra layer of surprise to your trip. Epilogue: Imperfect Perfection Though the overcast skies may slightly dull the cherry blossoms' hues, they unexpectedly highlight the intricate lines of the railway and branches. Travelers, whether picnicking or setting up tripods, share photography tips while waiting for the train, adding a warm human touch to this cherry blossom chase. Perhaps, as depicted in Osamu Dazai's writings about Tsugaru, the beauty of Ashino Park lies in its simplicity and authenticity—even when the weather isn't ideal, it doesn't diminish the timeless emotions it evokes.

#cherryblossom25 Tucked along the scenic Tsugaru Railway line in northern Japan, Ashino Park is one of Tohoku's most underrated cherry blossom spots.

#Snow Viewing In Japan, many railways in remote areas have been abandoned due to technological development or a decrease in passengers due to population outflow. The Tsugaru Railway in Aomori Prefecture also faced operational difficulties. Fortunately, the introduction of seasonal trains brought the Tsugaru Railway back to life. It has been in operation since 1930 and has a history of more than 90 years. The one-way trip from Tsugaru Goshogawara Station to Tsugaru Nakasato Station takes only 45 minutes. From December to March of each year, a winter-only stove train (Storp train) is launched. Transportation strategy: This is a relatively difficult attraction. First, take the Tohoku Shinkansen from Tokyo to JR Shin-Aomori Station, transfer to the Ou Main Line to JR Kawabe Station, then transfer to the Gono Line to JR Goshogawara Station, and cross the overpass to Tsugaru Goshogawara Station. The Stove Train has only three round trips a day, departing at 9:35, 12:00, and 14:40. In principle, it can connect with passengers arriving at JR Goshogawara Station. I stayed in Hirosaki for one night and arrived at Tsugaru Goshogawara Station the next morning. I successfully boarded the 9:35 stove train. Shortly after the train departed, a waiter pushed out a dining cart. Grilled squid was a must-buy, and those who could drink could also buy the limited Tsugaru Railway Start liquor on the train. If you buy squid, the waiter will take it to the heater to roast it, and the aroma will come out immediately. It tastes better when eaten hot, and it will become hard when it cools down. Along the way, there was snow outside the window, and I enjoyed this moment of white world. The waiter knew that we were from Taiwan and enthusiastically introduced the attractions of the stations along the way. He suggested that we get off at Ashino Park Station to eat horse meat curry and walk to Kaneki Station, which is the hometown of Dazai Osamu. So I got off at Ashino Park Station. There was no hustle and bustle of the holidays and no other people there on weekdays. The whole white world was mine. Ashino Park Station is also a famous cherry blossom viewing spot. There is an inn next to the station. We ordered horse meat curry and horse meat rice bowl. The horse meat is chewy and melts in the mouth when cooked with curry. Walk to Kaneki Station for about 20 minutes and visit the Shayokan and the Product Museum, then take the train from Kaneki Station back to Goshogawara Station. You can wear more clothes, and the retro style is better. This place is very suitable for taking photos. A nostalgic train runs across the snowy Tsugaru Plain. This winter story full of poetry and novel-like atmosphere is as fascinating as the plot of an old Japanese movie. #Stock train #Stove train #Tsugaru Railway #Tsugaru Goshogawara #Goshogawara #Grilled squid #Sake #Stock sake #Post house #Horse meat curry #Ashino Park #Kaneki #Dazai Osamu #Ou Main Line #Gonō Line #Hirosaki #Aomori #Shin-Aomori #Japan

Ashino Park is where the Japanese writer Dazai Osamu often played in his childhood. He also described the old buildings of Ashino Park in his novel Tsugaru, which gradually became well-known. The park has a Dazai Osamu literary monument and a Dazai Osamu bronze statue, which attract many literature lovers to visit. In addition to tracing the footsteps of the literary master, Ashino Park, which has about 1,500 cherry trees and 1,800 pine trees, is also a place for viewing The park is famous for its cherry blossoms and is listed among the top 100 cherry blossoms in Japan. When the flowers bloom, the beautiful scene of the orange retro train slowly driving through the cherry blossom tunnel into the park station attracts railway fans from Japan and abroad to come from afar with their cameras to capture the scene. It is also a popular wedding photography spot for local newlyweds. Imagine holding hands with your significant other and integrating the train and the cherry blossom tunnel into the composition. The picture you took will still be memorable no matter how many decades later.

#cherryblossom2024 One of the best places for hanami Every Japanese has a favorite place to admire sakura. For many, this is Ashino Park, truly fabulous during the flowering festival. In these parts, it usually falls on the Golden Week — the weekend in early May. How to get there Ashino Park is located in the city of Gosegawara, on the Tsugaru Peninsula, in the northwest of Aomori Prefecture, about the same distance from the city of Aomori (from the west) and Hirosaki (from the north). It is easier to get to the park from Hirosaki. At Hirosaki Station, take the train on the Ou line to the station Goshogawara (just over 30 minutes), transfer to Tsugaru-Goshogawara Station on the Tsugaru Railroad line. Get off at Ashinokoen Station in 20 minutes. The park is still a five—minute walk away. It is interesting There is a monument to the writer Dazai Osama in the park A rowing boat can be rented by the lake Asino is part of the huge Tisogun Nature Park Golden Week in Pink Every year from April 29 to May 5, Golden Week is celebrated in Japan, which includes Emperor Showa's birthday (April 29), Constitution Day (May 3) and Children's Day (May 5). Most companies give employees a whole week off. By this time, sakura has already managed to fly all over Japan, but in the cool northern prefecture of Aomori, the Golden Week usually has the peak of flowering. If you haven't been able to see it before, this is a great opportunity to fill in the gap. What's in the park? Ashino Park and Ashinoko Lake are part of the huge Tisogun Nature Park. There are more than 2,300 sakura trees and thousands of pines growing here. In addition to the natural one, there is also a literary monument here — one of the greatest novelists of Japan of the twentieth century named Dazai Osama. Do not miss the opportunity to admire the romantic scenery — from the suspension bridge or during a boat trip on the lake.

#cherryblossom2024 It is one of Japan’s top 100 cherry blossom viewing spots with around 1,500 cherry trees. The Tsugaru train runs through the cherry blossom tunnel and it’s very beautiful and popular. There’s also a lake and a bridge across it. During the cherry blossom festival, one can enjoy dango, oden and ice cream from the stalls. There are many varieties of Sakura, including the weeping cherry and someiyoshino. A

The combination of a rural station and cherry blossoms is very emotional, isn't it? There is a station in Aomori that is inside a tunnel of cherry blossoms 🚉🌸 That station is "Ashino Park Station" on the Tsugaru Railway in Goshogawara, Aomori Prefecture. Ashino Park itself has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots in Japan", and Ashino Park Station itself has also been selected as one of the "Top 100 Stations in Tohoku", making it a spot worthy of being one of Japan's leading spots! However, there are still not many people here, so I think it's a hidden emotional spot 😁 ▪︎The red-roofed station building has become a coffee shop This station building has been there since the station's establishment and is a registered tangible cultural property of the country ✨ The station building has actually become a coffee shop ☕️ The interior, which retains the atmosphere of the Showa era when it was still in operation, gives you the feeling of having traveled back in time 😄 The signature dish here is the "Suri Suri Apple Curry" made with Aomori apples 🍛 I recommend this for lunch and the apple cake and coffee set for tea 🍰 The simple taste is irresistible ・Business hours: 10:00-L.O. 16:30 / Closed on Wednesdays ◼︎Access explanation Due to the location, it is of course more efficient to get around by car! ・From Aomori Station: 1 hour ・From Hirosaki Station: 1 hour Of course, since it is a station, you can also go by train! However, it takes quite a long time to transfer... ・From Aomori Station: 2 to 4 hours ・From Hirosaki Station: 1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours, 1,160 yen The transfer from Goshogawara Station to Tsugaru-Goshogawara Station is adjacent to the station, but it takes time due to the timetable.💦 The shortest and most efficient transfer time is 10 minutes! For those who think "Even if I go by train, I'll end up waiting at Ashino Koen Station to get back anyway, right?", it's not as simple as you might think! The interval between going up and down is 10 to 20 minutes, so it's possible to arrive, take some photos, and go home! That's all! What do you think? Come and take a photo of the train going through the cherry blossom tunnel 📸 ~~~~~~~Information~~~~~~~ 📍Ashino Park Station ・Address: 84-171 Kanagi Ashino, Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture ・Access: As above ・Opening hours: 24 hours ・Fee: Free ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #Sakura2024 #DomesticTravel #BreathtakingViewsOfJapan #AomoriTourism

Looking at this row, the cherry blossom train coming from afar, do you feel like you have suddenly traveled from reality to a dream? This railway is the Tsugaru Railway located in Aomori Prefecture, Japan. It is a real railway, not an abandoned one, and it is the true Sakura Tunnel. When no trains are passing, you can take photos at the level crossing, but it is not allowed to walk on the railway. There are multiple staff members on site to maintain order. The train is very retro, isn't it? The old-fashioned steam train slowly approaches from afar on a railway surrounded by cherry blossoms, like a scene from an anime, but it is a real existence. After watching the train, you can take a stroll in the park. Lu Ye Park is actually a local park where people usually come for leisure and entertainment. During the cherry blossom season, there will also be a cherry blossom festival held here, and there are also performances in the park. This place is suitable for taking photos and strolling, as well as for talking about love. It is even more suitable for a family picnic. Buy an ice cream, eat some ice sugar strawberries, take a walk around, and see the locals' cherry blossom celebration activities. It's like a paradise. The key point is that there are few people and it's quiet. Location: Aomori Prefecture, Japan. Take JR Goshogawara Station, transfer to Tsugaru Railway, and get off at Ashino Park Station.
