Recommendation tourist attraction

Day 1

The yearly festival held at Hirosaki park when the park's 2600 Sakura trees surrounding the Hirosaki castle, which is composed of 50 types of Sakura are in full bloom. And during this period, you can enjoy the beautiful, illuminated Sakura at night. Best time to view: Around late April


A stream that extends for about 14 km between Nenokuchi on the shore of Lake Towada and Yakeyama. The stream runs through richly forested areas and you can enjoy stunningly beautiful scenery such as waterfalls, strangely shaped rocks and more.


Lake Towada, a well-known scenic spot in northern Japan with a beautiful azure blue surface, is the 3rd deepest lake in Japan at 326.8 m. The best time for autumn leaves is mid to late October.


A hot spring that has been loved by people from about a thousand years ago. The beech wood bathtubs are placed directly above the water source, so the spring water flows straight from the bottom of the bath without coming into contact with the outside air. Here you can enjoy the pure, real spring.


Day 2

The beauty of flowers representing each seasons, like an Iris or a Peony brings with them a beauty of their own. You can enjoy a "Teuchi" soba (hand-made soba) inside a traditional house or try making an earthenware just like the old hunters during their time.


156 Cherry blossom trees, all in full bloom are lined up along the street stretching for approximately 1.1 kilometers. The whole scenery of 156 Cherry blossom trees can be seen from the Towada City hall's lobby. Best time to visit: Mid-April to early May.


An island that is said to be god's dwelling place and treasured by the local people. It's a place known as the breeding grounds for Black-tailed gull and where you can see 30000 to 40000 birds flying up-close during spring.


A Sanriku Fukko National Park that offers natural sceneries such as rocky reefs and nakisuna (singing sand). One of Tanesashi Coast’s best known sights is the Tanesashi Natural Lawn where the natural grass grows to the water’s edge.
