I love Hirosaki (3): Around town

Having featured an old cafe here and a few other interesting shops here, I have come to the last post on Hirosaki town, in Japan’s Aomori prefecture.

A few other shots from around town.

There was no shortage of hair salons here. There is almost one at every street corner.

We had lunch at  Tsunezushi (常寿し), a popular local joint.

 

I’m very happy to have spent so much more time in Hirosaki this time round. But actually, we didn’t even manage to explore the streets leading all the way to Hirsosaki Castle. We did visit the castle last year, but there wasn’t time to explore much as we only had a day in Hirosaki. (most of it was spent at the Hirosaki Apple Park)

Well, the castle is famous for its views during the cherry blossom season in spring. That’s the perfect excuse for me to come back again!
