Cruise to Japan Day 05 - Aomori - 25 September 2023

Aomori for Hirosaki Castle. we took an organised tour to Hirosaki Castle, which turned out to be more of a double story house. It was a tiny and beautiful building with well kept gardens and large grounds.
We walked around the gardens and then carried onto an area where there was a show with some drumming and Chinese guitar playing, representing a smal piece of the Neputa festival where they have beautiful floats being carried down the streets around the castle.
Building the floats
Famous for apple trees, the apples are huge.
The gardens in every are we have visited are arranged in a very simple manner Zen like.
