Hirosaki City Apple Park
Fun for the whole family at a park where visitors can try picking their own apples
About 5.2 hectares in area, this park is home to as many as 2,300 apple trees representing about 80 varieties. Enjoy apple picking and many other facilities that allow visitors to fully experience the unique deliciousness of this famous apple-producing region.
Visitors can try picking their own apples at the “Production Experience Orchard” from August 1 to mid-November. There’s nothing like the taste of freshly picked apples! However, be sure to check before visiting, as the apple-picking season varies depending on growing conditions. Visitors can also freely stroll the orchard paths and glimpse beautiful views of Mount Iwaki beyond the orchard.
The “Apple House” sells about 1,200 different apple-related products, including unique apple-themed local crafts and sweets. The café offers delicacies such as apple curry, apple sundaes, and apple cider. Cider tasting at Hirosaki Cider Factory Kimori is also recommended.
Facilities such as the playground and picnic area are popular with families.
The park also contains the Former Osanai Family Residence, a reproduction of a former farmhouse with old farming equipment on display. In addition, on weekends and holidays from April to November, visitors can listen to old folktales of the Tsugaru region recounted in the local dialect.
