Yoshino in Hirosaki Park, which uses the management techniques of apples for cherry blossoms. Citizens wanted to make the Yoshino cherry blossom in full bloom even in winter, so they were able to raise money through crowdfunding and light up the cherry blossoms in winter for the first time in 2017. Its brilliantly blooming cherry blossoms have received many acclaim from Japan and abroad. In the winter of 2024, let's go to the vicinity of the Otemate gate of Hirosaki Park. * The appearance may vary depending on the weather and snow accumulation.

A winter festival in a castle town lined with citizen-made snow lanterns. On a severe winter night, the sight of about 300 candle-lit minikamakula lines is fantastic and poetic. A large snow statue in the shape of a historic building, built on the main venue of the four circles, and a snow slide in each of the large and medium are also popular. You can also see the castle tower that was moved at the Hikiya.

The five-storied pagoda, about 31.2m high, which has been designated as a National Important Cultural Property, is named "Tōhoku District's First Beauty Tower" in the designated description, and is famous for its beautiful figure. The night-removal bell begins on December 31 at 23:45.
