Overview
Hirosaki was a capital of Aomori or Tsugaru from Samurai period. In this tour you can visit several temples and shrines to feel an old history of Hirosaki. Most of those buildings were built in 17th century. Walking in the precincts must be refreshing experience for you. You can feel the past samurai period where Japanese castle Hirosaki castle was built. In addition, I can recommend you some cafe which serves apple pies to take a break. *** Attention **** If you are 4 guests, 3 of you should be packed in the back seat in my car (TOYOTA Prius.) *** We can start this tour from Aomori city too. (extra 2hours and additional fee is needed)
