Hirosaki Castle



















Today was amazing!! I was able to visit the famous HIROSAKI castle. It is an old castle built in the 1600s that housed the Emperor..its situated in the middle of Hirosaki park.. the castle is very historical, complete with a moat river (full of lily pads) and it is perched high on rocks.







As I walked around inside the castle and around the park, I couldn’t help but think that I was standing in the same spot that ancient samurai and warriors were.. that’s pretty dope





I can only imagine how this place would look during the cherry blossom festival..apparently.. WORD on the street is that this park, HIROSAKI park has THE BEST cherry blossoms in ALL OF JAPAN!
