Here we are! Heading to one of the famous spot of Cherry Blossom sightseeing in Tohoku region. From Misawa, we drove to Aomori and took train to Hirosaki. The train was packed with visitors all the way from Yokohama or Tokyo, wanting to view the scenery as well. We met 2 lovely old ladies from Yokohama on the train, they were so impressed with our talking speed in English, told us they had learnt English but they could barely understand us since we are talking way too fast. When we went back to Aomori, we saw them again taking the same train back!
Sad to say, the castle will be rebuilding after this festival and it will take 10 years for it to finish reconstruction. So this is the last year to see the famous scenery.
