We had a wonderful tour with Tomio, our excellent guide. We managed to catch the cherry blossoms almost at full bloom and the blooms were stunning! Tomio was accommodating, knowledgeable and communicated very well with us, showing us all the beautiful views of Hirosaki! Thank you Tomio!

The Tsugaru-han Neputa Village and how these beautiful gigantic floats are constructed and history behind them. The amazing skilled Shamisen performancer was stunning. Combined with our guide Tomio's help we learned the vast historical, political and culture of Hirosaki from the castle, Saumari life, their housing, according to rank and the vast agricultural importance of Tsugaru culture of Hirosaki/ Aomori to Japan.
