- Notice from the hotel
A Golden Week trip to Aomori and Akita to enjoy the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival and Beauty Hot Springs! |
In late April, the pale pink of cherry blossoms begins to spread across towns and cities in Tohoku. The magnificent cherry blossoms at the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival are a must-see tourist spot, but it is also a popular area where it can be difficult to find accommodation if you miss the timing.
|
Is there a hotel within driving distance?
|
If so, you might also want to consider Yuze Hot springs, which can be reached from Hirosaki in about 1 hour and 14 minutes.
|
Since my destination is Hirosaki, I tend to look for it in Aomori, but Yuze Hot springs in northern Akita Prefecture is a surprisingly convenient Access. From Kazuno-Hachimantai IC, go north towards Aomori, get off at "Ōwani Hirosaki IC", and move for about 20 minutes on Route 7 to "Hirosaki Park" where the Hirosaki Sakura Festival is held!
|
Enjoy spring in Tohoku on a "Hot springs and cherry blossom tour" that includes a banquet dinner that incorporates traditional and local cuisine from Akita Prefecture and the Kazuno region, a soak in the alkaline Yuze Hot springs, known for their beauty benefits, and cherry blossoms in Hirosaki.
