Hirosaki Castle Botanical Garden

The garden spans 76,500 square meters and contains 124,000 plants from 1,500 different species arranged in 23 distinct themed zones.

The garden sits within the grounds of Hirosaki Castle, constructed in 1611 by the Tsugaru Clan as a center of power in northern Japan.

Each spring, over 2,500 cherry trees transform the garden into a gathering place where locals and visitors celebrate hanami with traditional ceremonies.

The garden welcomes visitors from April through November, with multilingual staff, barrier-free facilities, and a combined entry ticket with Hirosaki Castle.

The garden features a tree over 500 years old, which shares its name with Nezuko from Demon Slayer, drawing attention from anime enthusiasts.
