Aomori, Japan

Since we have been in Aomori before, we decided to venture a little further from the city.
Interesting fact- the area gets more snow then any place on earth.
Today we walked to the train station, took the train to a Mather town (about 45min on the train) Hirosaki and then taxi to Hirosaki castle, build in 1611 and park.

The surrounding Hirosaki Park around the castle grounds is one of Japan's most famous cherry blossom spots. Unfortunately, it’s not the season for cherry blossom. Still the park is beautiful!

After few hours in the park, we took a long walk back to the train satiation and then back to the ship.

At 6:00pm we met with our friends, Frank and Delak and took a taxi to a local Onsen for a hot baths experience,
After soaking in multiple baths, we had a nice dinner in a tiny restaurant.Read more
