  Atshushi was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! We learned a lot about the history of Hirosaki. We also go to see the last trees bloom with cherry blossoms and that was truly a special experience. We did a full day tour and we feel like we got a lot out of this excursion! Atshushi made this experience unforgettable and we were very lucky to have him as our guide. Thank you again Atshushi!

• Ethereal and Enchanting Hirosaki

  Ethereal and enchanting are the words I would use to describe our experience in Hirosaki. We were lucky to see the Sakura in full bloom on a beautiful bright day, Though we had only booked for a day trip we requested our guide Mizu to guide us through the night lighting also. She graciously agreed. Hirosaki has more than 2600 Sakura. Mizu and I could count the 2605th tree. It was a beautiful blend of natural beauty of the Sakura, the Mt Iwaki (Tsugaru Fuji) in the background, the lovely water bodies (moats), and of history the majestic Hirosaki Castle, the imposing gates. The view at night is never never never to be missed. The moon shone in all its beauty as if admiring the beautiful beautiful Sakura with all the sea of humans admiring them from below We saw a lot, The oldest Sakura planted in 1882, the Sakura tunnel, the hidden heart (no longer hidden : )) among the trees, the castle, the mountains. We did a lot of things like boating (not to be missed). Admiring the park from the waters below is another amazing experience. It was an out of the world experience to see the beautiful Sakura tree swaying in the wind, the petals falling from the trees as if in a dance, falling on the ground, on the water, on our hair, face and body. When the petals fell on me I felt as if I was lovingly kissed by nature. Gave me so much comfort. Having spent only a day in the huge park of more than 4 hectares, it was not possible to see all the beautiful spots by oneself. And a professional guide is very much needed. Without Mizu, our experience would have been incomplete. Thank you so much Mizu. You were so kind, so sweet and so knowledgeable! With a lot and lots more of love!

  We did a quick day trip from Tokyo to Hirosaki to see the cherry blossoms (we flew in and out, same day). Shiho was our guide and she was fantastic! She met us at the airport and took us on a fabulous tour of Hirosaki. She kept us entertained all day and helped us navigate public transport back to the Aomari airport. The day flowed seamlessly and was so much fun. We got to see the tail end of the cherry blossoms. Thank you Shiho!

  

  

  

• Great Tour of Hirosaki Park

  My husband and I, along with two of our closest friends, were fortunate enough to go on tour of Hirosaki Park with our guide, Atushi Nagasawa. We were personally greated at the port by Atushi and was escorted through the busy train station enroute to Hirosaki Park. He made sure we saw all the major points of interest, and gave us a quick history of the castle and the other statues in the park. We were also very lucky enough to see the final blossoms of the cherry trees. What a beautiful sight to behold. Atushi suggested a few perfect spots for photo ops. He even took group pictures for us. It was obvious that he wanted to assure we enjoyed our visit to Hirosaki. We most certainly did enjoy our tour and time spent with Atushi. Our thanks to Atushi for leaving us with fond memories of Japan. David & Arlene K.

• Wonderful day tour with Atushi - Cruise ship excursion

  My partner were on a cruise circumnavigating Japan and unfortunately were only in Hirosaki for one day. Thanks to our great guide Atushi-sun, we made the best of the day. Atushi was very friendly, spoke English well and really took pleasure in showing us the amazing Cheery blossoms. 
Since our tour was in the Golden Week when all of Japan was on holidays there were many tourists around and the lines were long. Atushi planned the whole day really well, we arrived at the station to catch the very full train really early on both train journeys and we were really glad that we could all have seats because otherwise we would have had to stand for a good hour after walking around the whole day. The Japanese restaurant the Atushi took us to was just delightful and the thoroughly enjoyed lunch. 
The whole day was wonderful from start the finish. Thank you very much to Atushi and Omakase. We hope to come back and have another tour. CnB

• Hirosaki Park Tour

  mr. Atsushi Nagasawa met us at the arrival of the bullet train from Tokyo and quickly whisked us on our tour: - we had a great lunch at a local hidden gem of a restaurant with good atmosphere and excellent value for money. - we then proceeded with a tour of Hirosaki park to see the Cherry Blossoms and the castle tower. Despite the unusual cold and rain, Atsushi-san made our tour most enjoyable, not only because of the beautiful sights but also because of thr most interesting conversations we had. Mr. Nagasawa is well travelled himself and speaks very good english. We are grateful for his kind and most attentive help and guidance to show us his home region / town.

  Our guide Atshushi was fantastic. He knew all the history and allowed for us to customize the tour. He was patient with our children and was happy the entire day.
