radiantb Says: 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.

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!
