touch, and taste - there are about 2,300 apple trees of 80 varieties planted
on the vast grounds. In early May, when the apple blossoms are in full
bloom, the park holds the Hirosaki Apple Flower Festival. During the festival,
there will be free distribution of baked apples, a chance to try picking
apples, and live entertainment such as live Tsugaru shamisen performances.

The Hirosaki Neputa Festival is a summer festival representing this area, which first appeared in written records over 300 years ago. It is held every year from August 1st to 7th, and usually attracts more than 1.6 million visitors. While Hirosaki's Neputa are called "neputa," Aomori's Neputa are written and pronounced as "nebuta." In terms of shape, Hirosaki's Neputa are mainly fan-shaped, while Aomori's Nebuta are known as doll lanterns. At the Hirosaki Neputa Festival, which is an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan, about 80 large and small Neputa decorated with heroic warrior paintings, Kagami-e, and melancholy Misorie-e are paraded through the castle town of Hirosaki to the chant of "Yaya-yado."

| AOMORI NEBUTA Festival |
one of the largest festivals in Japan |
22C007 |
 |
The origins of the Aomori Nebuta Festival are unclear, but over the course
of several hundred years it has developed into one of the largest festivals
in Japan. One of the features of the Aomori Nebuta Festival is the wild
dance of the Haneto. In the past, they were called Odoriko (dancing girls).
It is unclear when they began to be called "Haneto". The Aomori
Nebuta Festival grew to its current size after the Second World War. Its
progress has been driven by the trend towards tourism, and it has become
increasingly larger. It is held every year from August 2nd to 7th. Of these,
there is a nighttime parade from August 2nd to 6th. On the 7th, there is
only a daytime parade, but at night, a sea parade and fireworks display
are held in Mutsu Bay. Also, a pre-festival is held on August 1st.
