Hirosaki Goen offers a sakura festival every year in April. It lasts for 3-5 days while the blossoms are at its best.
You'll be surrounded by all the beautiful blossoms and you'll feel really great, revitalise and really feel the beauty of the nature.

My host family has a beautiful log house on the mountain as they are avid skiiers and I was lucky enough to go there with them. We ate yaki-niku (meat bbq), sang karaoke and enjoyed the crisp, fresh air. On the drive up, there are numerous fruit and vegetable stalls - do yourself a favour and stop so that you can have some hot, fresh corn on the cob - yum!

When in Rome do as the Romans do and EAT APPLES! Hirosaki is famous for its delicious apples and they will not disappoint. Apples from Hirosaki are literally the largest apples I have ever seen - enough for a whole meal. When cut open, they often have what is called mitsu in the middle ( a sweet area) and it is tastes so good. Nashi are also recommended. Do not limit yourself only to fresh apples, try out the famous apple juice as well! You might even want to try and pick some for yourself!

In Aomori, visit Lake Towada to see the Autumn leaves. The scenery is breathtaking, especially for someone like myself who lives somewhere tropical.

Hirosaki was my original Japanese hometown, so to speak. It was the first place I lived in Japan and it will always hold a special place in my heart! Coming from sub-tropical Brisbane, it was a shock...

I went for the beautiful Cherry Blossom Festival and saw the famous castle there. I recommend the "Sake Circles" with the Japanese. They know how to party!
