Hirosaki Castle was built in 1611 by the Tsugaru clan. A three storied castle tower, fortified moats, castle gates and some corner turrets (yagura) survive or were reconstructed.
Hirosaki Park, the location of Hirosaki castle, is one of Japan's most famous cherry blossom spots. Over a million people enjoy the park's 2600 trees during the sakura matsuri (cherry blossom festival) when the blossoms are in bloom, usually during the Golden Week in the end of April and beginning of May.
