Hirosaki Apple Park

Hirosaki Apple Park

Hirosaki City boasts the highest apple production in Japan, earning it the nickname “Apple Kingdom.” The apples from Hirosaki are not only known for their vibrant color and sweet taste—being exported overseas—but in recent years, apple-themed tourism has been on the rise, attracting a large number of visitors from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and other countries.

Hirosaki Apple Park is the most representative and well-known destination within Hirosaki’s apple tourism industry. The orchard is home to approximately 60 varieties and a total of 1,200 apple trees. Not only does it offer stunning scenery, but it also features experience areas, an information exhibition hall, and an apple shop. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful views while learning about apples and experiencing the fun of picking them.

Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit Hirosaki Apple Park. In spring, the orchard is beautifully adorned with blooming apple blossoms. From the park's observation deck, you can take in the vast Tsugaru Plain, where fresh green fields are dotted with apple blossoms, creating a picturesque watercolor scene that captivates visitors. In autumn, the orchard is equally enchanting, brimming with the joy of harvest. Large, red apples weigh down the branches, and the park’s “apple-picking experience” allows you to truly immerse yourself in the charm of the “Apple Kingdom” and enjoy the pleasure of harvesting fruit.
