If you come to Hirosaki Park for cherry blossom viewing, you should stroll around Hirosaki City, because there're many historical buildings worth a visit. Here're some spots of them.
Fujita Memorial Gerden
Fujita Memorial Garden is a large Japanese garden that neighbors Hirosaki Park. Fujita Memorial Garden was built in 1919 as a via for a local businessman named Fujita. The garden is a traditional Japanese garden incorporated Mt. Iwaki into its design, and there're some traditional western-style houses, the Japanese-style houses, the waterfall and the pond in the garden. You can enjoy strolling the garden and visit inside those houses.
After strolling the garden, I recommend you take a break at a nice cafe in the garden. There're a cafe named Taisho Roman Kissa-Sitsu in a traditional western-style house, which is popular in the nostalgic mood of the cafe and the apple pie they make with the local apples.
Former Hirosaki City Library
This building was built in 1906 and used as city library until 1931.
Aomori Bank Memorial Hall
This was build in 1904 as the headquarter of the former 59th National Bank.
Too Gijuku Gaijin Kyosikan
It was used the residence for foreign teachers and their family, who taught English to students in the first private school in Aomori prefecture, and the school was called “Too gijuku”. There is a café “Salon de café Ange” on the first floor in this building and you can enjoy the meal and dessert here.
